Can't wait to hear your review on your new iphone, hookbill.

Yeah, well it may take me a day or two to do that. But the reason I'm posting now is to remind/inform people who are tracking their phones to clean your browser cache after tracking. When I went back to my PC it said phone was still in Memphis. After cleaning the clash I see it's in the Cleveland Sort and Distribution center. From there it will go to my local distributor and hopefully be in hook's hot hands by tomorrow around noon.

If they come later then noon I usually give the driver a hard time about it....."Hey, it was on the truck out for delivery at 7:17 and it took you 7 hours to get here? You mean you stopped somewhere in between?"

Maybe that delivery man might just head north and drop off your phone to your Michigan Neighbor, me!

Anyways, looking forward to your review and many of the others here. Love the excitement everybody has, makes me even more inpatient to get one!

Hey, welcome neighbor!! I wish the delivery truck would stop by my house, but I have to wait for the next wave of phones to be available next month.

Can I still pre order or do I have to wait and stuff, like I'm a total noob to apple.... But was just convinced to join the herd. Like arnt they special or something and I can still just go and pre order like with a check bc I lost my debit card. I know it will be here tomorrow but I'd still like to know if I can go in my carrier store or the apples store tomorrow and still pre order and all with my check book. If not I will be devastated bc I'm way to hyped up for this after talking with all of u majorly cool peeps up in here. I just hope they will still let me pre order and jump everyone in line since I am pre ordering and not waiting for an "in the store sell" ya know like it will be pre order with a check. Dang you debit card I hate I lost it. Do you guys thing this is possible meaning that I can just skip everyone in line since I'm just gonna pre order but still want one of their inventory.... It will be cool right??

I actually posted this earlier, but I received mine today after work. I've been a customer with AT&T for almost 10 years, and have known the managers of my area retailer for about 5 years now. I may be the first to have my hands on all this innovation, and let me tell you, it's worth every last red cent! Needless to say, I have some 'pull' at my store. I came home and opened the box, powered it on, and have seen this beauty in action. It's like Chuck Norris kicking a baby sea lion in the face while molesting technology's biological mother during intercourse with Samsung's incessant lawyers, but I've yet to figure out how to get onto those porn sites I was so accustomed to with Android. Thank God for the Internet, I mean, it still works like it's supposed to, amirite?

Pre-ordering is more or less done now, you still can but you'll get it in October sometime. Best bet is to hit up your local Apple store or whatever carrier's store your with in the morning and purchase it in the store. If they have enough you'll get it your hands tomorrow at that time.

A fandroid?? Sorry like I said I'm a noob not down with the iPhone lingo yet. But thanks scrog for answering you are right ill just try at apple tomorrow. Should be ok I do hope they take a check tho since the bank doesn't open until 9 and I should probably be I line before then if I'm gonna have a chance. Most places can run a check like a card with the route and acct numbers I was told anyways we will see wish me luck everyone.
Thanks again to everyone that helped me.

Edit: I just looked up your word on googles urban dictionary and I'm sorry but that is mean. I'm not that and I only came here to make friends and learn about apple and the iphone 5. I was so excited to be in a place I wasn't judged now idk maybe it's just like the droids forums.

Well just so you know, a Fandroid is someone who has to reboot their phone constantly and feel superior because their phone is more like a crappy computer than a really good phone.

Oh, ok. Thanks for helping me there, good to see someone friendly. Urbans dictionary didn't say anything about that but I think your definition makes more sense anyways. Whatever it means it's not me. I'm just wanting to learn that's all.
