Apple Delays iPhone 3G S Pre-Orders to Prevent Early Delivery?

Annnd, the last flight from Santa Ana, CA to Memphis, TN just landed. There go my hopes of getting my new iPhone tomorrow :(
 
Well, looks like my phone will either be going to Moline (Which is only 45 minutes away from me) and arriving at 1 in the afternoon, or, going to Chicago (Which is 3 hours from me) arriving at 10:30 am. Shall be interesting to see how they get me my phone before 3 in the afternoon, but, I have faith!
 
My phone left Kentucky about 15 minutes ago and should be arriving in MD in 52 minutes.

Why am I still up? its nearly 5am. :confused:


Edit: still up, gonna crash really bad at work today. I don't care, I'm too much of a geek to not keep tracking.

How did you find the flight number, mine departed LOUISVILLE at 4:39 A.M. 6/19/2009 ...... very doubtful it will make it to iowa on-time for delivery today.
 
The eagle (iPhone) has landed

It is now in Philly, which means it is only a few short hours away! Have to admit, after it sat in Hong Kong for 2 days I didn't expect it to make it. I'll give UPS and Apple kudos if it does! :)
 
Apple store

Drove by the Apple store across the street. There were about 25-30 people in line being taken in the store 1 at a time by a concierge.

Mine is on that flight too. My tracking now shows Linthicum, which is BWI.

Edit: Mine are now out for delivery.
 
They are in Tucson

The lesson I am learning folks is never order through AT&T. I should have known Apple was smart enough to handle upgrades through their website, I just was thinking since I was going to require a data plan change from 2G to 3Gs, that AT&T would be best. I ordered on the 10th. It says shipped now, but all other line items went away, and it just shows a 3G shipped. I ordered a 3G and a 3GS. No tracking number either, just a blank.
 
does anybody know if i will be able to port my number through itunes when i activate the phone or will i have to go to the att store or call customer services?

Just got mine. Anyone has a clue as to how I migrate from my last iPhone to this one? No instructions anywhere. :confused: :(

Huh, I hadn't even gotten that far in my thinking. Good Question!

According to a quick web search, it looks like it's just a matter of backing up your old iPhone, then applying the backup to the new iPhone. Here are some articles I found on how to do it:

Yeah, just plug in your iPhone fill out your zipcode and last 4 digits of social and it activates your iPhone and transfer the account to the new one. then it asks you to unplug and plug back to restore your iPhone. Nice. :)


So yeah, no need to use old SIM card.
