Mine says processing. I hope it's delivered on the 17th and not shipped on the 17th. That would make me unhappy
Why morning.... They can ship it in the afternoon and still get there the next day....If mine doesn't ship by next Thursday morning, I'm cancelling my order and going into the store Friday morning.

T-mobile rep says I will be getting it on Friday or Saturday and from. My experience next day air does Saturday delivery from almost anywhere I have bought something and they used itBecause it takes 24 hours to cancel a pre-order. If I do need to go to the store, I want to go early Friday for color selection. Tmobile uses the next day air-saver shipping, which doesn't include Saturday delivery. If it ships next Friday, we won't start seeing them until Monday.

Next day air does deliver on Saturday, next day air saver, which Tmobile uses, does not deliver on Saturday. Unless they switched to not using the saver option. But every phone I've received from Tmobile has been next day air saver.

Ah good catch -- Closing ensure to check your order to see what it says.
On the order status screen it just shows "expedited next day." Which that isn't a delivery choice through UPS. So I don't think we'll know for sure which option they are using until we get our tracking numbers.
EDIT: From looking at UPS's website, it looks like you can do Saturday store pick-up at UPS with air saver.
I pre-ordered but I am disappointed that you cannot take advantage of the trade in program, and thus the $200 Sammy promo, if you are pre-paid. I had to jump through a whole bunch of hoops just to pre-order and trade in a phone and I am still not sure how much money I will lose because I am a pre-paid T-Mo customer. T-Mo may be the un-carrier in some respects but when it comes to pre-paid it certainly seems like a line of business that they grudgingly support.
bsulla,
I'm also a T-Mo prepaid customer interested in pre-ordering a Note 4. Can you tell me how you did it (in-store vs over the phone with T-Mo)? I've read conflicting accounts saying that either 1) it just can't be done OR 2) you have to go into a T-Mo store or call T-Mo because you can't do it through the T-Mo website OR 3) sign up for simple starter plan online and cancel immediately. But when I go to the T-Mo Pre-order site, there is fine print that says you will get charged an EFT is you change your plan. Any insight into how you managed to preorder for pre-paid would be greatly appreciated. Also, I agree, we are treated as 3rd class citizens.
On a separate note, I read the Terms and Conditions of the $200 Trade-in promo and it does not specify that you must trade-in from the same retailer, so you may consider trading in a smartphone at Amazon, Wal-Mart of Target (all listed as Note 4 retailers in the original press release.) It's worth a shot.
Ok, if you go to the T-Mobile pre-order page and click through to the plan selection page, read the terms at the bottom of the page here:
Configure The Best Unlimited Cell Phone Plan For You | No Contract Plans | T-Mobile
The fifth line says "If you switch plans you may be bound by existing term (including early termination provisions) and/or charged an up to $200 fee." I think your should be ok if you don't stick in their SIM and activate it.
As for retailers, there's no place that says where you can trade in the phone on the promotion page. But if you go to the original press release for the Note 4 (announced as official), the official retailers are Best Buy, Costco, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Target, Radio Shack, and Amazon. Most of them have trade in programs, so I figured they would work. But I'd stay away from best buy because of all the problems folks have been having with their separate promotion.
Let me know if you get your phone early and it works, as I may do the same.
