so guess we are waiting till 8am EDT..... ugghhh wish i knew and i would have went to bed and then got up this morning hahaha...... i need some crack!!!!
 
Or they revised their time. But people are still getting through in the UK and they got through in the US before.

Isn't the UK ahead of us timezone wise? I guess that might explain why they are still able to pre-order.
 
Ok, when exactly did the store go up? Its 4:30 here, and I just crawled out of bed needing to go to the bathroom and decided to check the news whilst up. However, I'm far to lazy to do time zone conversion/figure out what time zone things were posted in. Also, what exactly is wrong with the apple store? Its just taking me to the "We'll be back soon." page...
 
AT&T site seems to be working for me, although Apple.com is down again.

Also, when I was preordering, it gave me the option for 2GB of data WITH tethering for $45.00/mo. Anyone else see this???
 
And if they did what you suggested already, but it was still not enough, what then?

As you don't know what Apple did to prepare it is not fair to moan.
They could have done exactly what you suggested, but that may still not be enough.

I bet you are perfect at your job 100% of the time as well.

If I have to do the same thing every year, by the fourth time, I would hope that I had a pretty good idea of how much traffic I should be expecting. The Apple Online Store (US) was totally broken. That isn't cool.

I think it went up around...3:30 or 4 am central time.

I'm far to lazy to answer your question.
 
AT&T Errors

To those of you reporting not having problems ordering on AT&T's site: are you doing an upgrade or ordering as a new customer?

I keep getting server timeouts while checking for my account's upgrade eligibility status.
 
If we order trough the AT&T site will they ship it to us or we have to pick it up at the store?

I was doing an upgrade but the iphone 4 did not show up on list. 5 mins later i came back the site was down
 
white iPhone!

I'm hoping that the store is down to allow for white pre-orders! Otherwise, As much as it's going to kill me, I'm going to wait until I can get a white iPhone 4.

And if they did what you say, used the info from the previous times, understood the traffic they would expect and it was still not enough?

Do you really think they did not plan for this?
It appears that even the best laid plans can still fail.

It must be wonderful to be perfect?
