Apple sucks
I pre ordered through the apple website. When I preordered I was not advised that there would be a delay. The next morning I got an e-mail telling me it would not be shipped until October 5.
Today I went to an AT&T store today to get the phone. I called apple and canceled the pre-order. After an hour speaking with AT&T and Apple and them speaking with each other with two phones held together, I was told my upgrade ability will not be restored until sometime between 1 hour and 7 days because of a "back end" issue at apple.
Normally it is at&t that sucks but this time it is apple.
