Me, too.
Brings back memories of when I was a kid and waiting up all night on Christmas Eve!
Dude, it's all in good fun. I'm relaxing on Fathers Day and being entertained by these threads. I'm sure some of us are serious but it isn't me!Thanks for proving his point!
Although I enjoy being a smart@$$ I too love my iPhone and have owned every model from day one in 2007. I sold my 32GB 3GS on eBay a few days ago and am using my Razr which sucks and I literally feel naked without my iPhone. There must be a couple dozen times a day when I reach for my phone forgetting that I don't have the iPhone and realize what it really does... just about everything!
Mine went from 'Not Yet Shipped' to 'Prepared for Shipment' back to 'Not Yet Shipped' and has been there since. My sister who ordered from Apple after I did has already got her shipping #. I hope I don't get passed over.
When I said it is "just a phone", I'm not trying to belittle it. I too know how useful a smartphone is, and I use my iPhone often and have realized how attached I am to "being attached" to the internet/information gateways all of the time. I'm torn, I love my iPhone, but I just won't go out and say it is some angelic device to deliver us from the darkness of the middle-ages (pre-smartphone pre-ALWAYS CONNECTED era).
I am very excited where technology and interconnectedness is bringing us, but I am also a little fearful that all of us are losing touch with reality a bit. Maybe reality is worth losing, I don't know. All I know is that there ARE other devices out there that do very similar, if not the same exact things, but we are Apple fans so we all get the iPhone. Competition is good in these markets. So, I stand by what I said before, it is "just a phone", but its a damn fine phone that we are all excited about. Am I not understanding something about it? Haha, this is all in good fun I'm not trying to anger anyone out there.
Oh, no I'm not angry, I am just sooooo pumped for this new iphone. And waiting to see my ship confirmation is getting me even more excited.
Yeah I totally understand that becuase anytime I leave my phone at my house I get sooo mad at myself. I reach for it constantly to check the weather, my email, and now shipping notifications. Haha
Yah... but you know it's a little weird because I also feel a little "relieved" that I don't have access to email 24 hours a day and my calendar and this and that.... but I still can't wait until Thursday!
I feel you man.. I sold mine on the day of WWDC, and Ive using my old BlackJack... it sucks..
A few more days...
btw my says my iPhone has been shipped
Yes!! IF it comes in on the 23rd than you can get on the 23rd! TAKE PHOTO ID with you and the tracking #. Call and tell Customer Service Agent you want a HOLD FOR PICKUP!
So, I pre-ordered at 5:13am PST...WAY before the cutoff. I still show backordered...up until this point I never seemed to think there was a problem. Now everyone is showing that they have shipped... Weird, but personally I think that maybe tomorrow it will turn up shipped, but who knows! I think that the AT&T pre-order, backordered, etc process seems a little messed up...so I still think there is hope.
Still early days bud, sure things will work out. Can understand your frustration. Us Brits are getting impatient, hopefully we'll be shipping early this week
I got mine cancelled by myself on Apple Store. When I ordered mine on AT&T the first day of pre-ordering their server went down while on The process of finalizing the order. Then I went to Apple online store to pre-order mine it went through and got a confirmation. Not until 2 days after the AT&T sent me a confirmation of my order. AT&T has no way to cancel your order online but Apple Store is easy to cancel. I'm hoping to get mine on thursday hoping no problem comes out. Crossing my finger!
I ordered around the same time as you, just slightly earlier off AT&T's website. Mine moved to not being backordered just today so no worries, you should have yours change soon.
It really depends when it goes thru Memphis (IF LIVING IN STATES) If in Memphis Tuesday night youll more than likely get it on Wednesday the 23rd!
International packages are what makes 75% -85% of our revenue so we dont "hold until a certain date"! We want those processed thru our system and delivered as soon as they come in!
They aren't going to risk a huge account like Apple by handing out iPhones early. Not. Going. To. Happen.
Your probably right, but then again you never know. Im sure ill see them come in on the 23rd. Same with the iPads.. Had a "certain release date" but alot were delivered the day before!
Ill find more out in the morning when i go in and check out the reports! Its Sunday night and until tomorrow i wont know until all the tracking numbers are updated (depending when packages are actually scanned as picked up and sorted!)
Then again i might walk in to work and see an email from corporate saying 'Hold apple til 24th" but it NEVER happen for iphones in past nor with the ipad!
