"My pre-order is done" Thread

I really can't see why a Att ( or apple for that matter) person, can't place an order for you on the phone. The lady that helped me on the phone said she can't take a call In orders.

She spent almost 30 min F&$@& ing with my order ( actually messing with me, trying to get the site to work) . If these guys could take orders over the phone it would have been easier for all parties involved.

Guess they want the "system" to do the check and balance of each individual account. Boy, a phone in purchase would have been nice though.
 
Finally. I woke up at 5:45 AM, tried to place the 16 GB model in the cart, failed, went to work (where I tried many times and met all types of errors), before returning home and finding that the phone had somehow made it into the cart on my home computer (at 2:10 PM). Checkout was a breeze, although the confirmation page was a mess and I have yet to received confirmatory email (it's been 15 minutes since I finished).

I wonder if my order is valid.
 
Only took 5 hours but I got it! I think it added to the excitement

Not managed to get a successful order on Apple.com, but did manage to order a new Mac mini! :D :D

I love the new design...Very nice!

I actually ordered a second a little while ago using the new Apple Store app. No delivery option though so I'm waiting in line for that one.
 
Done at 9AM through Apple.com 32g black deliver to my house on the 24th. Was not easy though took me 2 hours as the site kept crashing.

Whew, after being up until 230a with no success, I tried both sits for a while at work and finally got my order in on the AT&T site an hour ago. The delay cost apple some money though, ordered the 16gb phone instead of the 32 at I started ordering this morning. I've still got 6gb free on my current 16gb phone, so I'm not hurting. I'll just end up spending that $100 on a new Vaja case. :)
 
Finally got a pre-order in through AT&T (NOT my first choice...) and as luck should have it my order confirmation number is not showing up in their systems yet and I have no confirmation e-mail - only the printed receipt of my order. I assume it will post in good time but UGHH! way to add more frustration on an already frustrating day!
 
Wow

After trying at different intervals over the course of the day, starting at 4:45AM PDT, Preorder is complete through ATT.

Glad I finally settled on the black last night.
Wife has decided to wait for the white, I pity her.
 
I must have tried at least 50-60 times between 1am - 2:30am. Went to bed and slept until 6:15am, which is when I tried again. That order (via Apple Store) went through on the first try (with some slowness in the process). Go figure. All set for delivery at home on June 24 at the $299 price (32GB) and with my existing contract terms moved over (450 minutes and unlimited data).

Pleased I got lucky enough to get through. But this was still a gigantic pain in the ass! AT&T and Apple should have been better prepared for this.

Finally!

After it got past the AT&T check, it error'd out again. But then I checked my cart and it was there. Woohoo!
 
Wow, been going since 8:00. Just got through on apple.com. Good Luck to everyone else, stick in there lol.
 
T-shirt idea for those that were successful! :D

Just ordered through AT&T and have a reservation at the Apple Store just in case. Apple's website sucks. Tried through there all day, couldn't get through.
 
I got a confirmation email from aplle, even though it's showing full price, does the email mean that there is absolutely an iPhone reserved in my name?
 
So far I've completed 4 pre-orders. All on AT&T. I've got one more to get finished...

2 of them were around 6:30am MST
1 at 9:44am MST
1 at 1:15pm MST

can't wait till this is over...
 
On ATT.com I ordered a 32GB at around 6:30am PST, email confirmation sent shortly after stamped 6:35am. Just plugged in my order #, and my status is processing. So far so good, I guess. Now, to knock on wood.

For my other lines:
16GB on the Apple Store iPhone app reserved (for Mom)
32GB white and 32GB black at BB preorder 4th in line (Wife, cancel the black if white will take too long)

Congrats and good luck everyone since the 24/25th will be even more interesting!!!
 
Trying since 10:30AM and it finally went through. Very pleased to say the least :D

Good luck to everyone else with their pre-orders. Keep at it, it'll go through eventually
 
Got my order done early this morning but it never gave me an option to have it shipped to my house? But either way I got mine reserved at the Apple Store
 
Went into an AT&T store and got it done, twice! The first time I was a little early, but the servers were down. They were nice enough to call me and let me know they could finish the process. Luckily I was only 10 min away, and got back and things went as smooth as silk. Got my receipt showing the discount and the lady (I happened to get the only good looking one), told me I should get it fairly early.
 
Still can't go through

I keep getting an message as follows...ATT site.

Due to a system upgrade the site is temporarily unavailable, please try again later. For immediate assistance please contact customer service at 1-800-331-0500.

Hmm..
