iPhone 5s Tracking Thread

FWIW, if you have a lot of stuff on your phone, I'd recommend doing a hard backup in iTunes with your old phone and restoring your 5S from that instead of from iCloud. Will go much more quickly, and save on bandwidth if your ISP sucks and caps you.
Agreed on the iTunes backup. I always do it that way right before restoring. I do still use iCloud to make backups, but I wouldn't actually use it unless I had to since it's slower.
I found out my 5S is factory unlocked. I thought I screwed that up by activating it before having AT&T unlock it or verify the cost, so I'm pretty happy that it did somehow get unlocked.
I cancelled my gold iPhone order and have decided to just stick with the space grey I got on Friday.
@acosmichippo I'm using that same case but in black right now. Naps gave it to me last year. I really it. It was easy to cut the bottom down a little with an exacto knife so it will fit some of the adapters.

Unlocked (T-Mobile sim) 5s received at 2:30. Down to local ATT store and had a new sim installed linked to my account and up and running by 2:45.
Bit annoyed that with an unlocked phone there was no sim drawer key in the box. Need to find a key from somewhere now.

Thanks didn't think of that. Tried a paper clip but it wouldn't pull the tray out.

Some paper clips are too thick. It has to be the right size. It's the preferred tool if you don't have a SIM ejector. I agree that it's annoying that they don't come with the phones anymore. They should at least come with the unlocked models. I bought a few extra SIM ejectors when I got my SIM adapters.

The new love of my life arrived just before noon, a day ahead of the UPS estimate. It's quite awesome!

I'm just going to be content with my space grey, I'm happy to have an iPhone5s period, so oh wellI was in the same boat.... We had a emergency at work. So I didn't get to go to my AT&T store. When I did get there, they told me they sold out at 9:30. I went to Best Buy and they only had 3 left. So I got one. I love it, just wish I didn't have to settle on color.Let me know what you decide to do.

Got a 64g silver 5s today! Our Best Buy had em in stock. Still updating.. gonna celebrate my sons birthday then set it up! Pretty snappy thus far!
I need a jailbreak....bad. I want to activate but can't lose my tetherme from my 4s. FML. I don't want to pay for a data plan for the 4s, don't want to lose unlimited data for the 5s and only need a hotspot once a month for about 2 megs of data.
jealous of those of you that have activated.

Too late. Everything is restored and it took a while, but my phone is fully activated. All I had to do was wait and it happened automagically. They were supposed to email, but they didn't. When I could make and receive calls I figured it was activated, lol.

How long does it take for you to get a confirmation that it's shipped after they charge you? I was just charged for one of my two iPhone 5s 64GB I ordered.
I am hoping to be charged for the second one some time today or tomorrow or Monday and they ship and I get them on the same day.
Nevertheless, this is good news. I didn't expect to be charged until the middle to end of next week. WOOHOO! @ Progress!
