iPhone 4 reminder from Apple

[Blorzoga]

Well, shoot, I am the kind that worries about everything.

I got my confirmation email when I reserved, I even went in and asked my Apple store to make sure they had my reservation and they said yes.

Now you people are saying this and I haven't gotten that and now I worry that some glitch happened.

(yes, I'm the paranoid type).

Well, that definitely means your reservation has been deleted and that the little green men are out to get you.

LOL have fun standing in line. I just got my preorder shipping confirmation!

I'll be sipping a bloody mary by the pool Thursday as my iPhone is delivered into my hands.

But in the end, we all will win.

I've only got one reminder. I should have 2 since both my wife and I managed to make our reservations on the 15th. Anyone else in this boat?

Same here. I am bringing the two separate emails I received on Tuesday, one for a 16GB and one for a 32GB. They sent the email, they will have the phones or explain to me why.

It's worth noting this part of the email. There have been conflicting reports as to whether a reservation means that a phone will be there for you regardless of when you come in on the 24th.

A couple things to note:

• It says your "reservation" will be held, not your "phone". I'm not sure if this is suggesting that hardware will not necessarily be held, just worth noting.
• The bottom of the email still says "Pre-authorization does not guarantee iPhone availability at an Apple Retail Store. iPhone is sold on a first-come, first-served basis." I think "Pre-authorization" is not the same as a reservation. If you remember, the original iPhone had so many problems with activation at launch that when the 3G came out, Apple and AT&T allowed for "pre-authorization" which would streamline the process. It seems more likely that this is what they are referring to.

So, I still have no idea whether this means phones will be held for those with reservations or not. When I called my local Apple Store, they seemed to suggest that an actual phone will be held until the end of the business day for those with reservations.

I'm not going to trust that though. I plan on getting to the store before they open, and will get in the reservation line. I can't afford to not get on Thursday as I have to get my 3GS back to Gazelle within the 30 day lock-in period, or I'm out at least $82. I had a pre-order that was cancelled by Apple... bastards.

Edit: Removed email image as someone already posted it.

lol, seriously are we going to go through this whole discussion again? and even nit pick at semantics, come on dude, it is pretty apparent that the phone is being held

as for those not getting multiple e-mails for multiple orders, did you look at the bottom of the e-mail, it should list the devices on reserve, maybe they are sending you 1 e-mail but it lists more than 1 device

No just lists 1 -16gb. It was the second one ordered. However, I did get a reservation email for both on Tuesday.
