oh dang, I can't reserve it for friday?? I can only reserve it on thursday?? super lame
 
Full retail price w/ no contract on the 16 gig is $499 correct?? not quite sure if I want to do a contract or just bite the bullet and save $300 by doing so. I'm not an att&t customer atm.
 
does it really matter what time you preorder? This will be my first actual preorder of the iphone, in the past I just waited.
 
OOPS, the new fail? So glade I am not a web developers at Apple. I get nevous when I have 8,000 uses hitting my servers at once...can't imaged millions...
 
I personally just do not like the white one, I think black is more "now" and "in style", but what do I know?
 
I decided to break my contract with Sprint since I have no service at work or school anymore, and go with the iPhone on AT&T. Woke up this morning at 5:30AM to get ready for work, just turned on my computer for kicks and giggles, and sure enough, the ordering had been activated...

I was almost done, when our puppy starting carrying on wanting to play/go outside, so I took him out in the middle of ordering. I got back, my order had been canceled due to inactivity, and then the store has been down since (all the times it had been back up between 5:30AM and 7:20, I was getting ready for work and driving to work.

FML... I was so freaking close.
 
I got through to the shipping zipcode/confirm order page. Then I tried adding Applecare and it went down again. Just keep refreshing and you won't loose your place ... at least I haven't yet.

thanks for the info but I seem to have lost my place, and now the site is totally down so i can't even get back in "line"
 
Placed an order an hour ago through the AT&T online store. I got an order confirmation page with order number and all but still no confirm email. Is this normal?

i didnt get one yet either i talked to an att rep he said it might be awhile cause the sales have alot to process.
 
I hope Apple realizes that this is going to be bad press... worst technical product launch in internet history!!! Steve won't like the bad press on this one... "Apple's site completely FUBAR for launch or iphone 4"
 
Reserved for pickup

After a dozen times through the steps only to fail on adding to my cart for shipment, I tried the "reserve for pickup" option and got right in.

I didn't really want to do that, but I guess I can weather a morning with the geeks rather than sitting here all morning fighting the web site.

Anyone one else going to be picking up at the Southlake, TX store?

Well if everyone turns off their damn WIFIs, I think this pre-order process would go a lot smoother.
 
+1 frustrated at no white. I will likely just enjoy iOS4 until I can get one, but it would have been nice to see "white not available at launch" or something when they were announced last week.
 
Radio Shack

Just called my local Radio Shack and they just told me that they were 'screwed' out of the pre-order process at the last minute by Apple. They said they are doing their own type of pre-order but can not guarentee size/color and even date of when they will hit stores. They said they might not even get them until the day after launch now. He also said that this happened to all 3rd party retailers last night (Best Buy included)!
