Scruit

Wonder what that translates to...

I'm sending you my therapy bills.

Shuddup Apple Fanboi. I bet you didn't have to wake up at 3am to order your iphone5 because you were already awake fapping to a picture of Steve Jobs' head on Mackenzie Westmore's body... (My iPhone 5 will arrive friday...)

Saw a dude outside the tat place on monday, leathers, helmet. Zuma.

Anyone here work for UPS or Fedex and can explain if there is any solid legal ground to deny a package that has arrived at the recipient's hub prior to the "Scheduled Delivery date"? I know they are not supposed to release the iP5 until the 21st but I know that some will arrive at the hub and be delayed until the scheduled date. My question is, what is to stop the recipient going down there and picking it up early? Woudl they have any legal right demand it early? Does the package not legally become my property until delivered? is there a contractual obligation between fedex and Apple that overrides the fact that I own the device you are holding on to? Not planning on doing this as my iP5 will arrive just in time, but I'm wondering what's stopping people like MT just picking theirs up early if they arrive early.

At one point during that first day of pre-orders they were saying that Verizon's "Expected Delivery Date" quietly became a "Earliest possible shit date, but don't hold us to it", and they a Verizon guy admitted that after a certain time cutoff people were being put into a "second shipment" batch. I don't know when that cutoff was. Hope you get your phone Friday! If your individual email confirmation is worded like 'Will deliver by" or something positive like that then you're probably in luck. Hopefully it's not "Delivery estimated" or something non-specific. (Fedex's "Estimated Delivery" is pretty reliable, but if Verizon says; "Estimated" then there's more wiggle room)

Better get a tent and sleeping bag.

When did you order?

When did you order?

w00t! Ship date Sep 19, 2012 Boo! Future delivery requested Estimated delivery Sep 21, 2012 by 3:00 PM

I tried a thin plastic screen on my droid. As soon as I read "lightly wet the phone's screen" I returned it.

I know you can take a joke. I mean, anyone who supports the Browns HAS to have a sense of humor.

It was a joke, continuing the theme set by the OP. Settle down, quit protesting so much and relax a bit. Welcome to OR, it doesn't get much better. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

I noted a curious absence of a response to the "gear" comment...

I did my MSF on a 125cc dirt bike. I could do figure-8s all day long on that thing because I could just shift my weight and counterbalance. Then I got on my Suzuki Volusia and immediately had the turning circle of an Oil Tanker.

Hey, I used to ride a cruiser. I liked it. But then I decided I wanted to ride fast. And with gear. And sober.

Don't let anyone know, there's be Apple pHaNboiZ dressed like ninjas ready to rob you of your new iphone on thursday. "I'll be like a breath of wind in the night - you won't hear or see me. You might smell Burger King and Acne Cream, but just ignore that..."

Don't rub it in. Still, most places sold out by 4am so "You're a lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, luck boy." (+ 10 points, and loss of man-card for recognizing that quote)

Same here. Also, the cases were $50 each on the Verizon site but I got them from case-mate for $30 each. Monoprice has some dirt cheap cases but they are sold out until nearly November.

Bandanas are cool because they keep wigs on all those doctors and lawyers who ran out and bought their bikes in full-on "mid-life-crisis" more. Now, can someone invent a bandana with built in airbags? Cute little ones like frog cheeks.

Personal data... You can factory wipe first then resynch after. Sucks to have to send it in, yeah, but not the end of the world considering most people will upgrade their phone before the battery wears out. Like changing the spark plugs in a car the needs the engine to be partially removed. Big bucket of suck, but infrequent enough to be worth it in exchange for the benefits for most people. I'm not a fanboi of Apple (do not currently have any Apple products - although my wife and son do) and I know that my droidx experience is not typical of android - but still... If you buy a car from any given manufacturer and it turns out to be a chunk-o-junk then are you going to trip over yourself to rush back to that same manufacturer for your next car?

n00b.

We ordered the 64GB version. I have 16BG in my droidx right now and we don't come close to filling it. Mostly because 50% of the videos get corrupted into zero-length files. The battery thing can be annoying but apple has a mail-in battery replacement service for $80. They warranty the battery for up to 2 years. Their warranty service on my son's iPod touch was insane. The screen blanked out white and I logged on to the Apple website with his device ID in a panic because I didn't even remember when/where we bought it - and the receipt was a distant memory... It recognized the warranty period from the date it was first registered in iTunes and we got instructions to hand it over to shipping location (UPS store I think) which we did the next morning. No mailing labels, boxing up or anything - the ups store knew to use Apple's account# and they provided packaging and boxed it up and overnighted it to apple. The next day Apple got the device and decided it was not worth trying to fix. The day after that his new (refurbed I think) ipod arrived by overnight courier. He plugged it into his computer and told iTunes that this was a replacement device and it resynced all his apps and data back into the new device - 5 mins after opening the box he was 100% back to where he was with no loss of anything, no having to reinstall any apps, just plug and click. When I factory wipe my droidX (as I have had to do several times) it takes me hours to get my data and apps back. Some backup app exist but none of them do it all.

Looking forward to using facetime...

I Clicked on "Add to cart" about 1 minute past 3. Took me another 11 minutes to go through the option, plan changes and credit card info. I need to change the plan already - they have me for 5Gb 4G LTE but they still have my unlimited 3G on the line too. They'll have to take the unlimited 3g off. My monthly 3g use is less than half a Gb - although I expect that to rise with 4G!
