Midnight? You do realize 1/3 of the USA lives on the East Coast. That's 3am.

Most can stay up till midnight. But not 3am east coast time to pre order. It's a pain to set alarm at 255am and try to preorder. Than try to go back to sleep for 2 hours and wake up again at 5am and be at work

East coast here....
asleep at midnight, alarm set for 2:57... 1st order completed at 3:09, 2nd order completed at 3:17....
So excited it took me till 4:00 to fall back to sleep.
Up at 7:00 to send child off to school...
VERY Happy to find out getting up paid off..
Fast forward one week, 9:44 am handing my ups driver coffee and donuts at his first stop in exchange for my perfect shiny new iPhones :D

Haha, I handed mine a Coke and gave him a hi-5. Despite the fact they're so busy I wonder if UPS guys love iPhone day because of all the super happy people. :)

I did it, had to be up at 7 for class. Received my iphone on the 21st. No problems, you want it bad enough, go for it. Dont complain after you dont get something cuz u didnt try
 
Serious Question: Why do you NEED an iPhone?

I have been doing some programming and need the phone for test purposes or maybe to just pull your chain LOL.

Was--- "I need my XXXX and need it now" a popular TV commercial a long time back? being an old retired man it popped into my head.

I do not not need to justify myself -- So this is the last post for me in this tread..... I will not be rude to others as I have been treaded by some.

Go in Peace -- PAX
 
Are insults called for! I find this post from you rude. I hope I am never rude to you and respect your post always.

He didn't insult you, he simply stated a few options that might fit your situation.

Not sure what kind of responses you were expecting to get with this thread. Seems like the responses have been right on the mark. Don't come in making yourself out to be a victim, no one here cares. Sorry if that seems a bit ******ish but it's the truth.
