I chose to "pick up in store" originally, and decided to order/ship online instead.......
There is no guarentee you will get a iphone if you decide to pick it up in store. It says your "reservation" lasts all day, and you can go in anytime on the 24th to get assistance on setting up your new iphone 1 on 1........ but the fine print says iphones are a first come first serve basis. So if 5000 people "reserve" at a apple store with only 1000 iphones coming in....... you better get there 2-3 hours before stores open!
here's a SS of my order status

seems there's a spot for tracking info, wonder if they'll actually release it prior to 6/24 tho
I can't get past the eligibility check. Anyone else having this problem?
Im starting to think pre-ordering is going to be a bigger pita then waiting in line for like an hr a week after release (and then I can at least get white). Been trying for over an hr,and i cant get past the screen that asks u to input phone number, zip code & SSN
Same.
I'm about to just go to the ATT store =/
Yeah.. I just came back from the ATT store.. Giant lines.. The entire systems are backed up and fucked. There was absolutely no point in going there. If you preorder it they just ship it to your house. You can't even pick it up at the store. So it's no different than just ordering it yourself at home.
I went in to preorder it. Gave them all of my information or whatever and then their system froze. They said that it upgraded.. But it froze and wouldn't work. So they took my credit card info and said that they would call me later to place the order. So I have to wait for it to get mailed to my house.. and I probably won't even get it on the first day now. It's pretty fucking retarded.. Kinda livid.. haha
Picking it up at a store seems like a total waste of time since its on a first come first serve basis.
I'm trying to decide what works better at the moment. AT&Ts 3G service or their upgrading on the website.....
I get really nice 3G signal...in one bedroom and my garage
That's more that can be said for the website right now
I wanted the white but I was just kinda convinced from 4 people to just get black. I like the white to be different, I got a white 3G because everyone had a black. Now my partner @ work tells me that white is more feminine lol, then my sister and 2 friends who know the dilemma (being, get black on 24th, or wait for white) all said to just get the black.
Phone is going to be in a cover, or case, or otterbox anyway. Might as well get whatever I can get soonest.
Did anyone other than me successfully order through the apple website? If so, have you gotten a confirmation e-mail? They've pre-auth'd the money from my account and it's showing up through order status, so I'm assuming I'm good. It just said they'd send a confirmation e-mail, and I've yet to get it.
I've been trying on and off since 7 AM, have yet to get to any screen past the #/billing zip/SSN![]()
I got past the screen once. It was like "Is this correct?" Clicking yes failed.
I just checked AT&T after they were down for "maintenance", I still don't see the 4 listed at all for my upgrade options, fml
Earlier in the day when I went into the phone upgrade area in my account on the AT&T site it would just say there was a problem and to call if it was a non-iPhone upgrade. Now I get this message just trying to log in to my account:
"The server you're attempting to contact is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. We apologize for the inconvenience"
I've had no luck through the Apple store either. I put in my phone number, billing zip code, and last four of my SSN to no avail. Hangs on the "Please wait while we access your AT&T account information." page, and then eventually says it's unavailable.
