the lack of white is :

a) due to a snag in the production process

or

b) Apple's middle finger to the world for seeing the iPhone4 3 months early
 
Apple Fanboi

i have been a fanboi in the UK for 3 years....No more!!

£499 for 16gb £599 for 32gb!! With the competition the iphone faces im afraid i am going to jump ship because i can no longer afford Apple.

I know the pricing is high because they want to tie people to get the contracts, but sorry the Android is better value for money, NOT BETTER BUT BETTER VALUE.
 
apple can suck my ****. No white iphone AND THEY RAISED THE PRICE?!!!!! seriously wtf. I only had enough money for the iphone at its old price :( and the 3gs? what an absolute rip off.

Still same price of $199/299 if eligible for an upgrade.

nevermind, I see your from the UK.
 
CANNOT get Apple's site to work

It got as far as selecting whether to "Add to cart" on the Apple store or "Pick up in store". Then it died. ARGH. I don't want to miss out on pre-ordering this!!! DAMN you Apple. Its 2007 ALL OVER AGAIN!
 
Glad I don't work in a few hours. Obviously nobody in charge of the internet connection part of this has been at work either. Same issues, no change by Apple.
 
Gah!

I get passed processing and then clicked continue and I got a timed out error! :mad:

I had success the one time by putting dashes in the phone number, not that it should make a difference, but it worked that one time, doesn't seem to be working again though :(
 
How very disappointing. Especially when you consider that they waited till the last minute to drop the white, after featuring it in the gallery. :(

That's what pisses me off. How can you advertise both the entire time, and then at pre-order time just drop the white? If i knew from WWDC on i would at least known to decide 1) Get black or 2) Wait. Now i'm just stuck being pissed. Grrr. Whatever. I'll just not have an iPhone i guess. Screw it.
 
I am also a Premier customer on AT&T and it worked for me, should work for you. Try again, I hope it works out as advertised.
 
whats the deal apple how about on update on what the **** is going on with my white iphone...wife is not gonna let me order the black without her getting the white..so lets get some info not just "yeah its not here yet" well when the F*** is it gonna be here
 
if i pre order using at&t any idea when i will get the phone? at&t seems to be not be lagging at all to preorder directly from them.
 
Good. Go bother Google then. Theres nothing more annoying than snobby customers who feel like they're entitled to everything their hearts desire.

I'm a devloper. I buy an iphone so i can test my code. Now you can go say, as your hero Steve Jobs say, go somewhere else, but it is not that simple. Apple has 90+ % of the mobile app market and if i want to make money i have to play in their world. Which of course the way they treat us is anti compedative but I don't expect you to understand that... So I don't have a choice...

This is wrong... Apple is out of control and the DOJ needs to step in. They did it to Microsoft and Microsoft did not pull 1% of the crap Apple polls.. But then Obama would never go after another beading heart liberal like Jobs... They are in bed together on their way to Cuba...

Sick, really sick..
 
AT&T site working

Just preordered via the standard "check upgrade eligibility" page on AT&T. Site response was quick and accurate. So it looks to me like it's "Apple FAIL" not "AT&T FAIL."

Of course, until the truck shows up with a box containing a phone, I'm still on tenterhooks.
 
AT&T's site worked great. I used my Premier Site to order it. Given that it said "ALL ORDERS WILL SHIP FREE VIA FEDEX PRIORITY OVERNIGHT (10 AM DELIVERY) REGARDLESS OF SHIPPING METHOD CHOSEN" gives me the confidence that they'll prep them and ship them all the day before to arrive on launch day.

My order has already gone from RECEIVED to PROCESSING. My guess is it'll say SHIPPED tomorrow and have a tracking number, but it won't actually track till the day before launch for delivery on launch day. That's what happened last time I preordered from AT&T

It just shows me a page with a bunch of previous generations iPhones...
 
Guess this explains why Apple did not explicitly highlight the fact that the white design is new. Thoroughly disappointing. Not pre-ordering at all.

Yeah that kinda bums me out too... what a drag. Why showcase the phone, provide us with all the high res imagery and what not, only to not make the product available. There should have been an asterisk next to each white one on their web site all along.
