I still dont understand what happens after this weekend if the point of the large shipments was to get rid of the priority lists.

Walked in yesterday to South Coast Plaza Apple. 25 mins later picked up a black iphone 32gb, no preorder! I recommend calling around if your eager!!!
 
1 Day on the priority list! WOOT! Put my name on the list at 4:30 pm yesterday, got the email at 10:45 am today and walked out about an hour ago with my iPhone 4.

Info:
Start date: 7/23 4:15pm
End date: 7/24 10:45am
Store: Eastview in Victor, NY
Size: 32gb

Hope this helps!
 
Apple store in Altamonte Springs, FL is still checking reservations

So on a whim I went in to the Apple store today. After going back to pull my black 16GB iPhone 4, the employee helping me asked for my drivers licences to verify my reservation.

He pulled it up on a nearby laptop and told me that mine wasn't ready yet and I would still have to wait until I got the notification that my phone was waiting. I figured they weren't verifying reservation at this point, but I was wrong.

So here we are, 11 days in. Anyone else waiting impatiently?

Just called the SCP store, and they told me that they are no longer adding people to the priority list and starting monday they will be sold on a first come first serve basis. I was hoping to get in on the list today :\ oh well, I guess I need to take my chances in person now. Kinda disappointing.
 
1 Day

I went to the apple store yeterday at 4:42 to reserve my iPhone and i just got the email today at 10:30 telling me to pick it up. 16GB. Am I just super lucky, or is there any credence to the rumor about wiping the priority lists? I was put on at Short Pump Town Center.
 
Seems as though every apple store in my remote area (under one hour) is getting shipments EXCEPT for the one i got on the list at.
 
Day 20

tomorrow it will be 20 days since i was put on the Glasgow(Scotland) apple store priority list and still no pick up email..it`s for a 16gb one. tomorrow being Sunday i don`t expect one...i phoned the store today and they just said no idea how much longer i`ll need to wait...i expect apple wanting to clear out there priority lists applies to the US and not the UK...it`s almost as if apple don`t want my £500...
 
I got mine after one day on the list also, although I really wish I didn't have to pay tax on the full price instead of the subsidized. Thanks California :)

im assuming that means anyone who got on the priority list yesterday will get an email in the next 3 days then? given they have stock?
 
Put my name on a list yesterday at 4pm... got my email to pick up at 10am this morning.

Funny. What store?? Those are literally the exact same times as me. The rumors about wiping the Priority Lists MUST have been true in some cases. There must have been some big shipments, because the Short Pump Store (for me) is really the only place around really, so basically the entire richmond market (which may not be huge) probably goes to that store. It is always PACKED when i go...

I'm in the DC area and got my name on 5 lists yesterday after the white phone fiasco. Luckily I got the email from the one I'm closest to. Canceled the others.

Exact same thing happened to me. 4:30pm yesterday, email at 10:45am today. Victor, NY 32gb.
 
Apparently the Michigan Ave/Chicago Apple store isn't accepting any more names for the Priority List. Actually, she said there were no more priority lists so hopefully this is another sign that Apple will be selling phones to walk-ins next week.
 
Deer Park, IL

I placed reserved my 16GB phone on July 17th, received the confirmation email same day. They emailed me this morning that my phone is waiting. My god that store was slammed. It took an hour to get the phone. The Apple employee said "we received a huge shipment" of phones. He wouldn't say how many. But, my guess it was easily in the hundreds.
 
Really?

So after driving home, writing my last post, and driving to help a friend move their couch I got my email. About 2 hours after being at the Apple store and getting turned down.

I'm super happy, but pretty irritated to have to drive out there again. Blurgh.

there are a lot of people that wish they were you!! haha
 
How long did you have to wait to get them activated and stuff?? That is where i am going later to get them set up

I waited about 20 minutes before someone could get the phones and ring them up. It took about another 15 minutes to set up the service (new account), and both numbers were ported in less than 30 minutes.
