I'm going to check out the local store around 6am, I'm pretty excited. God I hope it isn't insane!
 
I have mine for preorder on Apple's website for July 14th, but i can't wait that long. Gonna go check out 3 att stores near my house that are listed to be authorized iphone sellers on att's website. Hopefully one of those has a 16 gb for me.

Does anyone know if you can buy an iphone in an att or apple store and then cancel the online preorder? Don't want to waste my time going there to only find out that I can't buy it.

You can do this, i'm pretty sure. I did it w/3g. Ordered at an att store and bought at apple store. An apple rep online said he would recommend it that way I don't waste all my time searching and it being a month or more until I find one. I didn't listen to him and now shipping is 3 weeks. I'm not too worried though. I think once the white one is released it will help alleviate some of the demand.
 
I live in bum**** MS. I am planning on being at the ATT store around 6 because I can bet money I'll be the only one there. Lol.

I am wondering something. I know that someone on my family plan is eligigable for an upgrade. I am not though. Using their upgrade is not a problem, but I'm just wondering if there will be a problem getting them to activate that phone to my number. Any ideas?

Or will they only activate it for the other family member's phone number? And yeah I do have authorized privileges on our family plan and the family member won't mind.

All they do is swap the upgrade dates from one line to another.
 
I dont see why thered be a problem. If anything you may have to bring in the other phone with you and just have them trade out the numbers.
 
Okie doke. Thanks guys. I figured it'd be an easy fix, but one of the ATT retail guys made it sound more complicated. Lol.
 
The line at the AT&T Charlottesville store.

number 12 in line at 4:00am 13 people total
 
Oh man, long lines already! I'm awake anyway, maybe I should head to the store...? Anyone at a St. Louis, MO store?
 
Heading over to the mall right now. It's 5:15 Am here, greensburg PA. Hope there isn't a line so I can snooze in my car for an hour or so :)
 
I honestly feel bad for the people who thought/think they can walk up to the store around 630ish and expect a phone. With att being the last place to gaurentee a phone before apples 3 week shipping, i bet the lines are gonna be long everywhere

So you don't think there will be anymore shipments coming soon other then what apple post led up in the websites?

Idk. Its hard to tell. There are people that ordered on the 15th that wont get their phone until july but then again i cant imagine the apple stores going that long with phones in store. With that said, id venture to say that they WILL get shipments but they probably wont be that many phones. Finding them might be hard, having to call them and such. Unless their "priority list" thing actually works.
 
I think most ATT stores will have plenty of iphones..
1.7 iphones already sold..
LOT more ATT stores then Apple..
and Apple might even get more tomorrow..


Anyone in The sacramento area?

Ill be going to the folsom store..

ill prob go 6am-630
 
Here in line in Waterford, CT. Got here around 5:30 and I'm 6th in line, 9 total so far. Glad I didn't come too much earlier.
