In my opinion, waiting at Apple is such a drag because you're sort of not guaranteed one if you're not that dedicated because there's others campin' out a night before. I wish I didn't have to ride on AT&T's d**k.

Yeah I think the real bummer is knowing that probably half or more of the people in line in front of you are just buying them to resell them.
 
That too, but I thought there's a certain time limit that you have to keep the phone before cancelling your contract?

I am not sure how they do it. I just know that one of the times hold an earlier product launch that one of my friends was in the line a local news cast was doing the piece on people in line and actually took a show of hands of how many people were buying them to resell and it was a considerable number of people. When the PlayStation 3 came out I camped for two days in front of the Best Buy (awesome experience by the way- it's what I imagine Woodstock would be like with no drugs) and out of the 28 people who got one only three people were keeping them for themselves. One guy had actually hired five people to stand in line for the two days and pay them $150 each to do it. It was hilarious when I got home because I saw over 17,000 PlayStation 3's on eBay and because of that glut of product they were not really bringing anything over list especially once PayPal,ebay and shipping fees were taken into consideration. That guy paid those people to stand in line lost his butt in that deal. The only people who really made money on that deal were people who had put them up for presale before launch day

Well this will not be a very helpful statement but if you have no money to buy one in the store because they charged your card maybe you should not be buying an iPhone at all? I know that's a real ******* statement to make but it just seems like if your budget is that tight maybe your funds could be allocated better to something more important. Then again, maybe Obama will give free iPhone 5's to anyone that vote for him


Or how about it's his money and perhaps you shouldn't tell him what to do with it. I doubt you'd like Obama to tell you what to do with yours. Perhaps he's a student, etc., perhaps not. Regardless who cares?

Yet you all are the ones constantly hitting refresh at 2 am (or 11 pm, or anywhere in between) over a phone. Let it go, you probably aren't getting it tomorrow.

Apparently you are too yet you have no reason to be on here except to harass people!

As I said I knew it would not be a popular statement but It is my opinion. It is only that – an opinion. Furthermore there is no question Obama will tell me what to do with my money. He is already spending my money and my children's and my grandchildrens and my great-grandchildrens etc. that are yet to be born. he is also forcing me to purchase insurance with my money whether I want it or not.

Same boat 1504 ordered 30min after pre order started and back ordered with no ship date. No estimate nothing. I might not get one.
 
Now to see which delivery company wins the race to my house :D

One UPS and one FedEx driver out there vying to be the best :cool:
 
We should start a list of people who have proof they should have gotten one but for some reason the order got messed up or dropped.

I'll start. 1504 number ordered within 30 min of pre sale. Proof in email

Please quote and list yours.

Hello,
I ordered the Iphone 5 16GB white on Saturday, and I still can't seem to track my order on ATT. I tried entering the order number on the att tracking site and it gives me this message E0019: No order was found. If you recently placed an order, please try again later. Note: Information for orders placed within the past 24 hours may not be available. Thanks for the help!
 
So, many of us are going from iP4 to 5. Are we going to just be able to fire up the 5? Does it need the new nano sim to work? Thanks

I'm more concerned with it actually making it to my house. Mine got stuck in Texas and just left Kentucky an hour ago. It still needs to get to Philly, then the sorting station in Jersey. The UPS trucks leave at 6 am.

All hope is lost, I think. Grrrrrrrrr
 
Fix your FEDEX update

Go to bottom, where it says travel history,next to date/time click on little grey arrow and should update your order...work for me hope works for you..
 
Just woke up to find back-order status from 1 to 0!

Whatever that means remains to be unseen for me.

(ordered at 9:15 EST in AT&T store)
