Nope. I spent about an hour failing before I even got to the eligibility check. It's on both ends. AT&T is not always to blame for iPhone's problems.
Well at least it's running my eligibility check now. Before, I'd click the button and get an error message back. We'll see how long this thing runs.

I can confirm it's voice and data (but excludes texting plans). I have been with Cingular/ATT for almost 7 years and know the system in and out.
I have the old $69.99 1100 min plan. So add in my $30 iphone data plan=$99. And I also have a 24% FAN discount (on both voice and data) so this $99 is counted before FAN discounts.
Since my primary line bill is really only $76 after my 24% discount but I have always been eligible for a 12 month upgrade on this primary line for the past 5 1/2 years. It's like clockwork.
apple just told me, duh? their servers are overwhelmed.
I have not been able to do anything other than reserve one rather than having one shipped.
he said they would be back up at 11 am est.
on the other hand I was able to get completely through the ATT process and declined after seeing that they do not guarantee delivery on the 24th so I said the hell with this and I will wait for the apple server to get its sh*t together.

Not sure on that one. I was failing at the screen where you chose if you are a new or existing customer (long before the data input for phone number and other information).
Apple seems to have worked out their store issues. Both the regular site and the iPhone app are working now. You can buy anything EXCEPT an iPhone.
Looks like it's all AT&T's fault now. I tried to access my account through their site and I got a "Web site down for maintenence" message.

Watch, the database ends up getting corrupted and they lose all our order data
Haha oh god, so much for thinking I was in the clear.
I still haven't gotten my confirmation email. Once it comes then I can relax a little.

It would help if everyone would turn OFF your WiFi....Thanks
I burst out laughing when I read that. Thanks, it made having to try over and over again to order more bearable. I had to explain to my wife why I was laughing since at that time I still couldn't order. I don't think she completely saw the humor even after I explained...I think it's one of those "you had to be there" things.
if i were to go in the store and reserve this, would it be the same exact process as doing it on my computer as theres? i just want to pick it up in store anyways. so is it a different process if done in stores?
DAMNIT!! I finally got past the authorization screen and clicked Add To Cart and it gave me that damn error message again! And no, I checked, and it isn't in my cart
Exactly. Or at least open up a well indexed table specifically to Apple with every number and their upgrade eligibility. If they are calculating upgrade eligibility on the fly, then this is very very poor planning on their part.
I finally made it in on AT&T's site. They checked my upgrade eligibility all good there, was getting ready - see the pre-order iPhone 4 link - click it ANNDDDDD
they send me to a page with nothing but 3Gs and 3G iphones. Great - thanks AT&T!
Oh, and now they just logged me out for no reason.

I've reserved black 32GB iPhone 4 at the Apple Store at Westfield, London. I can pick it up any time on June 24th, am under no obligation to buy, and can upgrade through O2 Pay Monthly from the Apple Store.
Turned out good for me, but my workmate was out of luck - the 32GBs are now out of stock.
Still got no idea how much it's going to cost though when subsidised through O2....
This lack of UK information on pricing is an outrage. None of the networks want to go first for fear of being undercut. All of which means the customer is losing out. You Americans should be glad you've only got AT&T...

Woh now. Don't bring politics into this forum. Uncalled for and out of line.
By the way, do you think you are the only developer here?
Dammit! What could the problem possibly be? All I want to do is order my iPhone with the 1000+ people on MacRumors, with probably a million other people, through the same site as everyone else at the exact same time. Life is so unfair.
This is why it's broken.
So many people submitting request after request.
Not that it matters. Even if everyone on this entire forum started behaving and trying once only every thirty minutes, it would still be brokenat least until Apple manages to handle the extra bandwidth, or until people start giving up/getting orders processed.
Getting this now from AT&T:
And calling that number results in "Too high call volume, please try later." Sigh
