Screw this. I'm going to bed. Managed to finish my homework right at 2:58am... Thought I'd order an iPhone at 3:01, and be in bed by 3:15. Its 4:08 and I still have no iPhone.

EDIT: Right as I said that I got an email from Apple.

Your iPhone order is ready to complete. Please click here to return to Apple.com to complete your order.

In order to maintain the priority of your order, you will need to complete your order by Saturday, October 8, 5:00PM PDT.

In order to complete your order you will need to:
Select a messaging plan
Select a data plan
Choose where to get your new iPhone and check out

etc etc etc.

Attempting to do so now.... getting a connection timeout trying to log into my Apple ID.
 
No point in me going to bed now. I have to get up at 5:30 anyway. What's the point?

Worst part is that I'm not getting as far each time before it craps out.
 
The ATT verification is the problem for my last 4 tries, will probably keep trying for another 10 minutes then call it a night.
 
AT&T is slow but working. I never did get an order to go through on Apple. I got all the way to processing the CC, and it would fail.
 
Sprint cust. for 12 years but my patience for the iPhone wore off at 3:01 AM ET. Don't make me go red!
 
Yeah, seems to be an AT&T issue, apple site is pretty snappy now, but I'm failing out at verification now (which I think is funny given that it's verified me 4 times prior.)
 
I think I'm at the last step.... but I need to log into apple.com with my Apple ID... and its timing me out every time.... I really don't understand how they could've ****ed up this badly.

Also would be interesting to see statistics to see how many unique connections were hammering the 4 sites (Apple, ATT, VZN, Sprint) right at 3:01.
 
Ok, going through the AT&T site now, and it's working, but I get "Your Data Unlimited will be removed" Anyone else getting this?


Ok...nevermind. It was replaced with "Data unlimited for iPhone 4S"
 
I had to order at AT&T website, which sucks as I really hate AT&T and would trust Apple.com with the order more. Oh well, hopefully it will work out ok.
 
finally got through with the apple store!!!
hopefully they dont try and charge me 5million times lol
also hope i retain my unlimited data and student discount

goodluck!

Oh thank god. I would've been one extremely unhappy camper if I lost my unlimited plan.
 
Went to AT&T and it bumped me out once, but my order is complete. Too bad Apple couldn't get their @#$# together. It's not like they haven't done this once or twice. :(
 
Hmmm, I got a legit set of questions..

So I made a reservation on Apple.com. Got the confirmation saying I need to order it by October 8th 5pm.

What if I ignore that, and just go to ATT to start and finish a new order. Will it let me? Will it charge me for 2 iPhones? Will my upgrade eligibility credit already have been used on this first one?
