Mishap? All I remember is every news station out there giving Apple free publicity and make the iP4 the most wanted phone ever. :rolleyes:

Do you really think this year will be any different in terms of server issues? Every year the phone gets more and more popular.

It will probably still start at the same time: 12 PST and 3 EST.

If anything, they need about 2 hours to make sure that everything is functioning properly as it should. They don't want a mishap like they did last year with the iPhone 4 preorders.

I predict the same. It's not the website that was having issues. I feel it was probably the databases being accessed by the front end. Remember, Apple had to go to ATT's databases which ATT I'm sure is well secured, but no point in upgrading for a once in a lifetime (or year) 1000000x jump in queries to the DB when it'll all be over by morning. I just hope the DBA for the night is getting paid overtime and food provided.

This is also the first launch that 3 providers have the device so should be easy breezy.

Yes you can order from either Apple or Verizon if you are a Verizon customer.

Edit: answered...nevermind.
 
Anyone know if the antenna design is the updated one like the verizon where the mute is moved, or the old? I need to order another case and don't know which to grab :confused:
