Apple Store Down Ahead of iPhone 4 Pre-Orders

[QPO501059]

Soft Bank in Japan starts their pre order 6/15 5PM (=4AM EST), which seems a little weird time to start selling a new product as that's the end of business hour there.

Its up now!!

What is up now? Certainly not the store....

I was at a friend's house and I told him I was going to head home early to get to sleep early, I was thinking around 11 so I could wake up early and get my day started.

Then I remembered the iPhone pre-order...

I'm so tired.

Anybody watching the ATT website?

 

[brownieguy19]

Web people.....how long does it realistically take to put up a new web site like Apple's?

 

[RockRichard]

pick ups

If you pre-order from the online store, do you have to accept home delivery or can you pick it up at the retail store?

I don't want to be waiting around all day for the UPS guy.

Okay, now I feel bad for you.

Anybody watching the ATT website?

No, because it keeps dropping the connection.

It's 12:09 pacific right now. I have to wake up at 8 for work. Hopefully when I wake up, pre-order will be available.

Not long. They were either doing maintenance or they saw that the store was getting hit too much with useless refreshing so they decided to put up a static,simple page.

What are you going to do with your old IPhones?

I am selling mine on eBay. I sold my 16GB iPhone 3G last August and got $360 for it (which was $60 more than what I paid for it).

I currently have a 32GB iPhone 3GS. They are currently going for $300 to $400 or more on eBay.

[SiriusVector]

bahahahhahahahahah!!! love it

Is that the picture of the guy who found the prototype iPhone in the bar??

 

[Pos7al]

A real question...

Do you get it shipped to your door step or go to the store and pick it up???

 

[stateofunrest]

@zyzays, an apple rep told me they wouldn't charge the card until the phone ships. your opinion, rebuttal, confirmation? you may know more than me

 

[bennifer3000]

My business cred card better work. I've been having some problems. Grr.

 

[brownieguy19]

i spoke to an apple rep and they said they don't charge you until the phone ships..

Careful....most banks will initiate a authorization charge behind the scenes just to make sure you have the money....and if you don't they will charge you with the overdraft fee. The merchant needs a way to verify that your plastic has money behind it.

When in doubt, always go credit.

 

[SiriusVector]

Do you get it shipped to your door step or go to the store and pick it up???

I think I will do a pickup. I cannot wait for FedEx guys to get to my door!! Anyone knows what time the store opens that day? 7am?

 

[Sirobin]

Okay, now I feel bad for you.

Haha, it’s okay. I’ll just go first thing in the morning, and then order it. Not a huge deal, I mean, I should still get it on the 24th. Of course, that won’t stop me from staying up all night refreshing the Apple store anyway
