Question about trying to buy it from apple store Friday. I signed up for the apple upgrade program for this phone. If I go to buy it at the store, will that same program I applied and was approved for transfer to that phone so that I can cancel the one I have on order?

I'm curious to know how this would work also...

I mean if i cancel it then i would just have my original loan with my current phone. worst case i need to apply for the loan again in store.
 
I was up and ready when preorders started... but since Apple couldn't communicate with Sprints servers, it took almost 2 hours to get an order through... which put me at Dec 11-18. The next morning, I saw I had a reservation, so I cancelled my order (figured I had nothing to lose since orders were still at 5-6 weeks out)... but the reservation wouldn't let me order with the 2 year contract price of $769 for the 256gb. I would've had to pay full price instead...I called customer support, and 2 hours later was told it would take 24 hours for the reservation system to acknowledge I could get the 2 year contract... but being that I only had 24 hours to complete the reservation, I figured it wasn't worth risking getting pushed further back, so I went ahead and reordered without the reservation (I could place an order with the 2 year contract, just couldn't get it with the reservation)... so I'm back to Dec 11-18.
 
My December 11-18 was bumped up to Dec 1-8 as well! 🙂 I wonder if there's possibility for another bump!! 🙂
 
I canceled my online Apple order yesterday and found one in the Apple store. Seemed like they had plenty. I had to call AT&T after I canceled to reset my upgrade eligibility, they said it takes 24 hours to reset on its own. I had to talk to 4 people to find a person who could reset it right away. Liking the new X!
 
Did anyone get more than one shipment bump? I was hoping I would get a second one to move to November 😀

Not yet. I actually tried to call Apple to correct a shipping address. A whole 'nother issue, but was told that I can't change the shipping address, but could cancel my order, and re-order. I said well I was up in the middle of the night ordering this one, so I don't want to go to the "back of the line." The rep told me that the shipping estimation was the same if I ordered another one right now, as if being one of the first ones was irrelevant. Pretty discouraging.
