How long did it take to get your iPhone 4

5:15 AM until 4:15 PM

I almost kept it despite the antenna issues. Return 5:49 PM until 5:54 PM.

I bought mine on the 23rd too. Fed up with waiting for the white one. I was told 7-14 working days. I just called AT&T yesterday to discuss a different matter and was told,"We will see you next week." "Pish, posh, my good man, I won't get that phone for weeks," asserted moi. "We have been seeing them come in in a working week, so I think we are going to be discussing your phone face-to-face sometime next week," quoth the AT&T man.

I am not betting the farm on it, but it might happen. If it doesn't I am not going to start whining about it, but I suspect that it will.

I was told the same exact thing. Hope they're right.

I went by the AT&T store and they told me 7-10 days I felt like they were lying to me trying to get me to buy it from them, I don't see how they can get it faster than apple.

AT&T is faster because they are shipping the phones from the AT&T warehouse.

Apple is shipping you a phone straight from the factory.
 
Thought I had a reservation but Apple ended up saying they gave me one inaccurately so I waited 11 hours at the mall for one on June 24th.
 
Reserved one for in store pick up on 6/24. The store was crazy busy and they didn't think they would get through the line by a 9PM close (I didn't get there until 6 PM), so they extended the reservation to close of business on 6/25. I went back the next day and waited about 15 minutes. I was super lucky!
 
Bought two June 29th, the day AT&T first had them for walk-ins. Ordered one July 20th and it was shipped July 23rd. I plan to get it tomorrow in the mail. Pretty cool.
 
I wasn't even planning on getting one until the day of the release, when I was driving to my parent's place for the weekend. Fed up with not having a signal unless I was in a major city with my 3G, I began calling Dallas area Apple Stores as soon as I got into the D/FW area(so I had a signal).

After a few phone calls, it seemed that it would not be possible to get one as a walk in. Luckily, I checked the Dallas thread in the meetup subforum, and someone posted that they had just bought one at an area Walmart, and there were 3 left. I went to check it out, and saw the sweetest of sights; an electronics counter with not a single customer around, and an employee behind the counter.

I had the phone in hand in about a minute. Unfortunately, due to the employee's ineptitude, it took us a good hour and a half to get through the activation process. I say us because he was unable to figure out how the system worked, so I had to get back there and figure it out for him. Things went pretty smoothly after I pointed out that he needed to select "AT&T" as the carrier and not "T-Mobile":rolleyes:

I was happy to find one, regardless.

FedEx says it's two day air. I'm confident that it will arrive tomorrow though, since they've been in transit since Saturday.

Good to know. Let us know when it arrives.

Hopefully mine will ship tomorrow (Ordered it Friday)
 
Minus 24 hours! That's how long it took! Apple released it on June 24 and I received mine on June 23. So, -24 hours.
