Looks like Apple is back up and can only reserve now

[nhamp07]

ATT must have pissed them off...

Oh well i have 2 reserved.

 

[gtmac]

Same here

 

[Goldinboy17]

Hey, they're offering release day delivery, I'm not complaining.

 

[sdsvtdriver]

As long as it gets here on the 14th, that's all that matters to me.

 

[pensfan24]

Yeah, what's the story with this? I was finally able to go through all of the steps and thought I had it pre-ordered and then realized it's only reserved.

After I get an email, then I can go back and confirm elgibility and all of that crap.

 

[hushmartin]

I guess I got a reservation too...just got an email. *While* I was about to order on ATT. I'd rather order with apple though... so reservation it is, I suppose.

 

[falconman515]

Got a reserve confirmation number too.

Just gotta wait for the email likes the earlier guys

At least I have a reserved spot.

why is there no option to pick up in store

 

[Goldinboy17]

Why would you ever want to do that? There's still long-ass lines.

EXACTLY!
So over these horrible pre-order launches.... Every darn time!!

Carrier confirmation.

Looks like Apple could process orders faster than the carriers so they are taking orders first and verifying with the carriers second.

 

[sjn419]

Why would you ever want to do that? There's still long-ass lines.

During the last launch there were 2 lines at my local store, the one for pre-orders was fast.

Exactly! Going back to bed.

even still... why bother when it can be delivered to you?

 

[Tones2]

Has anyone received their email?

[Middiebear]

I'd try AT&T's website... It appears to be working a lot better now

 

[nhamp07]

it took about 10 minutes for the email to come in

 

[Tones2]

Because you have to have it shipped to your home address, and you might be working. Also, you may have to wait at home all day for fed-ex as opposed to standing in line for half a day.

What's the link to check the reservation status?

 

[Domino8282]

Anybody know how you order AppleCare+ if you go through AT&T?

 

[Stealthipad]

It is the usual crash and burn. Got a reservation number but no email. It is like AT&T did not know they needed extra server capacity which is easily purchased. They just choose not to do it!

[Tones2]

Still no email here. Another 10 minutes then off to bed for me. This process sucks.

I spent about two hours trying to order 3 phones on a new ATT family plan on the apple store to no avail.. finally gave up and went to AT&T and got everything ordered in minutes without any problem. Hope it ships as quickly! Glad I switched gears when I did, too, because now it's saying that you need to go into the store at Apple to start a new ATT family plan (for me, at least).

I also was wondering about the AppleCare+ situation--that was the main reason why I was so reluctant to order directly from AT&T, since I too couldn't find an option for it. I really hope we'll be able to buy it separately later..
