How do you know AT&T kept your unlimited plan? I ordered mine a little after 5AM from the AT&T site....all it said was "Data Plan $30.00" I couldn't find any details as to what the plan actually was it was giving me....keeping my old unlimited or something new.

the $30 plan is the unlimited plan.
 
You Americans are so lucky with these prices. $80 a month for 900 minutes + $25 for 2 GB data (ATT), so $105 a month + $199 for the device. That's so cheap.

A similar in the Netherlands will cost us $140 dollars a month plus once $70 for the device, and that's only 1750 MB of data (so 1.75 GB). The total sum over 2 years will be $3430... :S

The total costs for the ATT plan will be $2719. That's a difference of more than $700!
 
That's not an accurate indicator of demand. I work in Infosec and I can tell you that when a ton of requests are sent to a server, not even in the tens or hundreds of thousands range, can cripple a server.

I’m not a betting man, but I’ll take the odds on it. :D

Oh I'm not impressed by the phone... It's just been soo long since I've had a new phone this will have to do.

That’s perfectly fine of course. It’s the melodramatic proclamations of doom we can do without.
 
I had a horrible time trying to order via Apple. I kept on getting all kinds of errors, from a generic error, to "your account isn't upgrade eligible" (bull-****), to claiming I'd entered the wrong info.

Went to ATT and reserved just fine.
 
Placed my order roughly 2 hours ago and just got an email saying they couldn't charge my card.

I was charged for AppleCare+ ($108) and there is another pending charge.

Can't access Apple's Order Status to page.
 
I wish sprint would give me an early upgrade... As a highschooler I just can't afford to spend 750 on a phone... I'm so sick of my HTC hero :mad:

Wow. I thought Europeans usually laughed at us because we supposedly pay so much more. It looks like the European companies have caught up in terms of data pricing. You guys do get better international roaming rates, though (you had better, given how small countries are over there - otherwise it would be like me roaming to use my phone in New Jersey).
 
Just ordered two black 64 GB ATT models from the ATT site for the missus and myself at 6:15 or so CST...took about 2 minutes total for both orders combined....
 
Like many, my upgrade eligibility date was moved up to next month from Feb 2012.

Anyone not waiting for their upgrade pricing/date and buying at full price is nuts!
 
Glad I didn't wake up at 3 AM to do this... 6AM Pre-order for AT&T went smoothly.
 
When I tried at 4 this morning NOTHING!!! Just tried before I head off to work through the Apple website and AT&T as my service provider and I was able to do the pre-order in 3 minutes.

"16 Months for this…. Switching to Android…. Downfall of Apple!!”

And yet demand is great enough to cripple the servers of Apple & Co and stock price is healthy even after wednesday’s tragedy.

Moral of the story? Anti-Apple drama queens are yet again proven to be clueless.

That's not an accurate indicator of demand. I work in Infosec and I can tell you that when a ton of requests are sent to a server, not even in the tens or hundreds of thousands range, can cripple a server.

Both servers became crippled last year. Plus then there's the less than hot demand during the Verizon launch. I guess I don't see this as a lack of demand per say, but perhaps the lack of people who are eligible for a full discount.

Not in the UK.

My iPhone 4 with unlimited, all you can eat data, tethering, 300 minutes, & 3000 texts cost me £69 up front, and then a 24 month £35 a month commitment.
 
Excited for my new iphone....however.....

still no confirmation email.....

anyone else have a delay?
 
Shipping

Did anyone else have this problem ???

I live in a walkup building in Manhattan. No doorman. So I tried to get my phone delivered to my work, but it wouldn't let me change the shipping address (option link was inactive). Is the shipping address required to be the same as your billing address?

Am I going to have to ask for a day off just to wait for my iPhone to get delivered? I'm not really complaining, but I mean ... come on. Kind of silly.

Anyone?

Thanks.
 
Just preordered on the Apple Store app. Smooth as butter, under 2 minutes. Glad I woke up to do this instead of waiting until 3 something in the morning :D
 
I also ended up getting caught in the "preorder" system they implemented when everything went to hell. I received a "reservation" number.

About 5 minutes ago I received an email from Apple asking me to finalize my iPhone order. I followed the link, chose my plan, checked out and received a final order number.

I'm glad that this mess is over... at least for a couple years for me.

Kind of like your English?

Oh burn! You showed him!
 
shipping address

Hey, about the shipping address, I had the same issue. They would ship a $3000 iMac to my alternate address but not an iPhone? And I've been trying to get into the order status page and its been down for a while. When I finally get through it will tell me the order shipped....I'm sure.
