My card was just charged as well.

 

[scoates0]

I just got charged too!

 

[arunma]

Not so shockingly, I also just got charged!

 

[cliberti]

Same here. Just got charged a little bit ago

Good luck. Hopefully it wasn't a scam. Sure seems to good to be true. Let us know how it goes. I'm super curious now. Someone posted about the email a few days ago around here. Seems to me 25 people would have responded quick if it were true. But I hope for your sake it is true. Congrats and keep us posted on how your trip goes. Stay safe.

I got the same e-mail last year but wasn't able to attend. It's not a scam.

My Guess is....we will all get charged today. Then over the weekend the shipping labels will be created. Then they will start shipping at midnight on Monday

 

[hasasimo]

I'm definitely not that patient. Which is why I plan on walking into the store. I want to leave with it the same day I pay for it.

I used to do the same thing, then I realized getting it a few days early is still better than walking into the store and leaving with the phone on launch day.

Woohoo! Cards been charged!

@hasasimo:

I agree. Less hassles to pre-order. Even if one would spend, say, 45 minutes in the pre-ordering at midnight when it began, at least it's done, and all one would need to do is wait for UPS to deliver it. No waiting at a TMobile store, don't have to leave your home, comfy, efficient.

And don't have to worry about the specific model/color you want being in stock. That's happened to me before.

Only thing that would really irk me about a pre-order is if the phone arrived after launch day. Knock on wood, that's never happened yet.

As @Rodney0413 has just been charged as well (he ordered on 3/3rd, 3pm), and i also was just charged around an hour ago, I'm surmising that they will process several days' worth of pre-orders at the same time, i.e. their initial outgoing batch.

Apparently, their initial outgoing batch isn't such a small quantity as I ordered mine at 12:10AM 3/2nd.

 

[hasasimo]

I have a hunch some of us will start getting notices of our cards at least being charged tomorrow. No inside info, just a feeling and some assumption based on past pre-order launches.

The hunch was real! I too have been charged.

 

[Mike-Mike]

Add me to the charged club

Blue S9+ ordered on March 2nd

 

[durandetto]

Same

Add me to the list of those who've been charged! No shipping info on order status on t-mobile's site, so I'll be keeping an eye on that. The phone rep I ordered through said he'd upgraded my shipping free of charge, not sure if that meant 1 or 2-day. Probably 2-day, so i should see it by Tuesday at the latest.

Did you download the UPS app? It'll notify you when the shipping label is created

iirc, last year, i noticed that the T-Mobile.com site's shipping info doesn't get updated until well after i received the phone!

there is some type of site issue with them and they just don't have timely shipped out info/tracking numbers updated to the order page. weird.
