Grrrr. I can't pre-order online. Both the AT&T site and Apple site are being stupid and giving error messages.

Holy massive pre-order overload, Batman!

I've read that they should have enough for everyone to pre-order past the first day. Maybe they learned their lesson from the iPad shortage?

Word of advice. Don't try to go to the AT&T store or Apple store. They just try to set you up using the apple website and because off the mass volume you get nothing. I was in the Apple store for 20 minutes and everyone was on a Macbook trying the site. Everyone failed. Lol.

My phone goes from 100% battery to 20% in under an hour.

I got told by the lady at the att store when i preordered that it was faster to have it mailed to me than the store, any truth in that, she said tomorrow I could call and we could change from mail to store, but she said something like she doesnt know how much the store has or some ya ya ya.

some ftw, a 25 year old guy was in there and the store was only taking credit card, no debit or check cards, and he only had a debit card. He started to cry at the desk and when he walked out he tried to break the front door off. lol.

Yanki01

lol at the credit card story.

i tried this morning and just like the rest of the world, the store was down so i didnt try until i got home. through out the day i saw tons of problems trying to order from other users. i tried again when i got home from the gym and it took no more than 5mins. i cant wait!

the only thing i dont get is why the white one isnt available. im sure it sucks and bad thing on apples part but i hope there's a good reason why. although i dont see what a good reason would be. they should of had enough in stock for the pre-order. good thing i wanted the black one.

I went to AT&T after work today, waited in line for about 35-40 minutes. Would've been way faster if the douchebag sales guy wasn't trying SO HARD to nail the girl who just wanted a phone. It went on for half hour easy, he kept showing her his phone and talking about how cool it was and all that.

I wanted to yell out "she's not gonna ____ you, dude!"

Anyway, their servers were still down and they imprinted my card and gave me the carbon copy... smh.

I did just get an email from AT&T today asking about my recent purchase, so they must've been able to process it today.

Yanki01

still no confermation email from apple and i cant get into my apple account to verify. ill check tomorrow.

When you reserved your phone online, did you do it for in store pick up? I did and I didn't have to pay or give credit card info. I just got a "See you at the store." and it asked me to bring my photo ID. I feel like if I don't get to the store by 7am they'll sell the phone to someone else.

Yanki01

im getting mine shipped to me.

^ That's what I'm thinking about doing. Just to avoid all of the bulls___. I'm sure it might take longer to get, but I'll lose my mind in a store full of people trying to bum rush eachother for the iPhone.

who wants to hear some SDSDFDS, I went in and did the carbon copy thing, she called me today to let me know mine did not get ordered, but "feel free to camp out the night before if we have any extras".

I might just see about apple.com I need to break off my mom's family plan though and get my own and keep my unlimited data.

Lol. ____. Just order it online. Skip all the bull ____. Its going to be madness at the Apple store next Thursday.

burstaneurysm

Verified with AT&T that my preorder went through, he's still not 100% that I'll have it on Thursday, but they said they're expecting a second shipment on Friday. We'll see.

Yanki01

Apple said there were over 600,000 pre-order's for the iPhone 4. wow! On apple.com it has a ship date of July 14 now but still no white iPhones? I don't get it?

ecko04

I would get one, I don't want to port all the numbers from Verizon though

^ hahaha is that really what is holding you back? Transferring your contacts?

Good luck ordering one. Back to the original question, besides the obvious one answered in the Gizmondo article linked earlier,

"Without a doubt, the fact you must be on AT&T to use an iPhone is the single-most compelling reason to avoid buying an iPhone 4."

I have a standard 3G that still has good battery performance, so I see no compelling reason to upgrade. The 3G gets the new iOS w/ multitasking, the front camera is pointless unless you're talking to another person on the 4, and the price is pretty high when a new 3GS is $99. For the wow / showoff factor / attracting the ladies, onlookers aren't going to know / care if it's a 3G, 3GS or 4.

Probably the biggest reason I won't upgrade yet though is no 4G support. I'm not getting locked into a previous-gen network tranceiver only to wind up like the original iPhone owners, stuck with a slow phone incompatible with new network standards. You know next June Apple will announce the 4G, and it will be just 7 months after I'm able to upgrade.

Do like the tethering option now without having to jailbreak though. Hopefully they let it legally on the 3G with the old unlimited data plan. Also, give me Google Navigation already, or another turn-by-turn GPS program that's actually cheaper than going out and buying a stand-alone Garmin. Right now pretty nice ones are $119. How is a GPS receiver and some software-only twice that for the Tom Tom iPhone app?

If it was compatible with Verizon, I would immediately buy one when my contract is up in November. I could deal with no 4G if it's on a faster overall network with better coverage.
