They blocked the domain of the original script (at least it was the first one that I used), which prompted me to write my ruby script. I expected that they would block by browser signature. For some reason a captcha never occurred to me.

It really should have been in there from the start, though. Think about how much fuss there is over PII (personally identifiable information), and what you could get from running a series of lookups on that page -- name and a general geographical location. AOL got hammered a couple of years ago for making web search strings public for a research project (or some-such). Someone was able to piece together enough search queries to find a specific person - and they didn't have any names in the searches.
 
so i think many of people have asked this over the past 2 weeks but what does it mean if
my iphone is at 0 on the qty back order
and my frt is at 1
 
Oh man that blows! Actually that might be good since I need to be studying instead of checking the queue every 5 minutes.

i think what it means is that say you ordered the 8GB black iphone 3G. When your phone goes to 0, it means that specific phone is in. That does not mean they have shipped it yet or that it is yours. Each time it goes to 0,the chances of it being yours goes up.
 
I don't know if anyone asked this before.

So I upgraded my current plan with AT&T and got the iphone 3g with 2 year contract + data plan. My question is that can I cancel data plan anytime and just use the voice contract with AT&T and not paying $30 / month? The data is good and all but I rarely use it since I always have internet at work and home. If I cancel data plan does that mean I can't use iphone and have to return it?
 
Wooohooo! Just now posting that mine shipped last night, and is out for delivery.... exactly 10 business days later.... but it's not showing up on my Amex as charged... does that not happen until it gets to the store or is there some upcoming holdup that will crush my spirits like a bug?

I doubt it. You should just be able to keep the phone and cancel the data plan. Although isn't the data one of the primary appeals on the iPhone? But seriously, you paid for the phone and it's yours. They can't force you to turn it back in if you change your plan, or even if you cross over to another network. Just go and say "I don't want the data plan anymore, take it off", and you'll just be paying straight data rates whenever you use the edge or 3g networks, so make sure you completely disable them in the settings.

Sent from my brand new B16GB =) off to the store to buy accesories!

no. thats the same question i asked to the att rep. she said the iphone wont work without the plan. And there is a whole seperate list of plans dedicated to the iPhone 3g, all of which inclued unlimited data.:(
 
I picked up my iphone today around 3PM. It was delivered about 3 hours earlier than told on FedEX's website. (Delivered at 12pm)

I was very pleased with my ATT salesperson. He was extremely friendly and was aware of my eagerness about my iphone..he even offered me one of his mints! Good things about the ATT Sherman, TX store..

Except the assistant manager was a total douchebag. He was making fun of a customer who ordered an iphone today. He thought he was the Sh*t.. :rolleyes:

But overall a good experience!
 
Has anyone seen any movement in the queue today? I've been #6 for the past few days and i've been on 0 backorder since yesterday however no iphones shipped to my store.

Small world! I am also picking mine up at the Sherman, Tx AT&T store, though am still waiting for it to ship. I am almost to single digits in the queue, so hopefully it will ship out tonight or tomorrow...

Congratulations on your iPhone.

Haha good to see a fellow Texas on the forum! If you are needing a salesperson to set up your phone, i recommend a man named Stephen. He went above and beyond the stereotypically worker and answered any questions I had even though he was going about to take a break!

Good luck with your iphone!

I appreciate the advice, and will try to get Stephen if it is within my power to do so. Though, it looks as if I have been passed over for this round of shipments and they started shipping people who ordered after me... Maybe I will have better luck tomorrow.
