In the past, those who preorder receive it on launch day.
good thing too, my contract ends tomorrow... but I might go andriod if this iPhone doesn't "wow" me casue I have an iPad and 2 Macs and the only that would tie me down to apple for moblie use was my iTunes account for my music but now I use spotify. ALthough I have all those movies but I guess I'll just watch them on my compter or iPad, I never watch them on my iPad.
no need to go to an ATT store at all, better off getiting online and ordering it yourself through apple.
I am jumping to Verizon with this next upgrade, and would never go to a Verizon store to order.
how is this news?? we already knew this. Can get some info on the imac please. Those we know nothing about
It won't. They will give people time to pre order and then at the earliest put it out maybe a week or two later. The retail stores have to plan the logistics to make sure they have enough people on staff, and since they don't ever even give hints to the employees as to when new equipment is being released, they would be giving quite a large hint by scheduling everyone on the same day. Don't worry it will come soon enough and then after a week everyone will be foaming at the mouth for the next gen iPhone.
if apple doesn't let at&t know how are they going to sell it?
lots of things to work out first
are mystery boxes going to arrive at at&t stores the day of launch with no word whats in them?
I'll be getting the "no commitment" version from Apple. Hate dealing with AT&T. I avoid them like the plague.
It makes sense to notify your major distribution channels and partners of upcoming events so they have time to prepare and make the appropriate adjustments so they can support the rollout.
Individual iPhone purchasers don't need that much notice....
Me too, but unfortunately, if past history is any indication, they won't release an unlocked phone until November. Probably at the insistence of the phone carriers.

The 21st is my Birthday and my wife said I could get a new phone.

AT&T will unlock an iPhone purchased at 'no commitment' price, right?
Given how many people will likely drop At&T due to its crappiness I don't think the "surge" of customers will be a problem for their customer service.
Or will it?
Why go through all that trouble? I will ship it to you, you can just but it from me on ebay
No, sell it to me... It will be for my nephew who is currently studying in Nigeria, I will pay you for shipping plus another 100 bucks for your trouble via western union.
I can definitely see a nice amount of customers leaving AT&T for other options because their service leaves alot to be desired IMO.
September is going to be a great month. I get back from vacation on the 4th, football season starts on the 5th, iPhone announcement on the 12th... release shortly thereafter For the first time ever I skipped an iPhone (the 4S) so I'm especially excited about this release.... Even though my iPhone 4 still works perfectly and I love the design.
