even if you pre-order, wont you still be waiting in line?

I was all for the pre-ordering thing and picking it up on launch day but the ATT rep told me the pre-orders come in a few days after launch. Then I read on here its the same day...? I'm so confused :(

It honestly depends but for the most part it'll come on launch day.

This year I plan on getting it shipped. The NYC stores are always crowded and both lines WILL be long (Pre-order and reserved). I want the black but the white one is really getting my attention this year around, I have a week to decide.Most likely it'll be the White 32GB- - - pre-order here I come!

question


I have a 3g and will get the the new iphone4

but i want to add another line to my account and give my old 3g to another person

I want to keep my phone number from my 3g and use it in the new iphone4- - -Yes, giving your old phone to someone doesn't take away your number.


the person im givin the old 3g phone has a virgin mobile phone
they want to port there virgin mobile number into the 3g phone, can this be done?- - -If they're coming to AT&T yes porting their number would be possible. . . if not they can get it unlocked and still keep their number that way.

Hope I answered you correctly. :)
 
Last year I went to the Rockingham mall in NH on launch day and I didn't pre-order. The per-order line was longer then the none pre-order line.
 
Which site would it be better to preorder from to ensure delivery on launch date? AT&T or Apple?
 
anyone know how the delivery method works? i live in an apartment and i might not be there that day because ill be at work. do they just leave it at your door? or do they need a signature?

Just have it shipped to your house on launch day....easy enough. Plus you don't have to let a clumsy Apple/AT&T rep unbox the phone whilst sliding it all over the counter.

You're right I didn't think about that.
Why do they have to unbox & activate it in the store if they are allowing at home activation for those who select home delivery? Why can't they just hand it to me and let me be on my way?

Most likely they'll need a signature because when you pre-order for delivery you have to pay for the phone then. So just have it delivered to your job that day. It'll be better for you.

DOA concerns as well as faulty SIMS. DOAs don't happen often but we had it happen at the 3G launch twice!

if u pre order it will come the 24th but i thought since apple uses fedx it comes around 10:00?

Apple and AT&T usually use FedEx for iPhone deliveries. Also depends on shipping date, but from some of my customers I've heard its before 10AM for home deliveries. In-store DF, whenever the delivery gets there.

When I created my account it had to go under my mother's name because I basically have no credit. If I decide to pick it up in store, will she have to be with me or can I purchase it by myself?

Are you sure? because someone else yesterday told me that it has to be done in the store, so iTunes will port my # and cancel my verizon lines?

The port is initiated through myAccount online when ordering. It is finished through iTunes when the phone is received.
