Does this possibly mean preordering to begin early?

 

[Spink10]

yessssssss

Starts at 3:01 am EST

Maybe will be early? Seems unlikely the store would be down for 3 hours before pre order starts?

 

[Blorzoga]

Starts at 3:01 am EST

Show me an official statement from Apple that corroborates that?

I would imagine that there's some major preparations going on to handle these preorders.

 

[RodChester]

Crap. I hope it comes up before the phone goes on sale. I need to get into my account and change my credit card. I wanted to get that done before all of the mess that is going to occur later on.

AT&T's Special Event

Apple, not AT&T

Apple, not AT&T

Image was verizon. Splash page AT&T. Apple store currently down. Evidence is there amigo.

 

[TTwardoTT]

Apple, not AT&T

If AT&T is doing pre-orders at 3AM then Apple is doing it to. Apple wouldn't allow it

 

[Blorzoga]

If AT&T is doing pre-orders at 3AM then Apple is doing it to. Apple wouldn't allow it

So, Apple wouldn't allow themselves to do preorders before AT&T? That doesn't make sense.

 

[hailuu]

AT&T is also down with a countdown timer.

No apple wouldnt allow ATT to do preorders before them

 

[Blorzoga]

No apple wouldnt allow ATT to do preorders before them

So, it is possible that Apple will open preorders in about 2 minutes.

 

[TTwardoTT]

So, it is possible that Apple will open preorders in about 2 minutes.

Earliest will be 3:01 AM since that would be 12:01 PST @ Apple HQ and they have said it doesnt go on sale till 9/14

The apple store will stay down until preorders start.
