No one is buying Verizon iphone in my area

[Applejuiced]

My prediction: Apple will maintain different iPhone release schedules for the two carriers. Whatever new bling comes to the next iPhone in mid-year will be for AT&T only. Verizon customers will have to wait until the beginning of next year.

Either that or they will release a dual mode CDMA/gsm phone this summer.

my money is on this. the chip is already in the VZW phone. It just needs an antenna that can do dual band.

i see the iphone being available to all carriers eventually and a dual gsm/cdma is the most likely path. Makes the most sense for Apple bank account too.

It's freezing cold in most areas of the US right now. It's a lot easier to wait in line at a store in June.

That said with the pre-order taking place a week before and the ability to order online why would any one want to go stand in the cold?

I sneaked out of work to get one for my gf at the local store. I got there at 6:50 and was around #30 but that was it. After that the line was empty. They even blocked a huge portion of the parking lot and did make shift lines like in amusement parks. They did have donuts and coffee so that was cool.

I was back at work by 7:40.

It's called the INTERNET. Who the heck would wait in line when you could have ordered it yesterday with free overnight shipping.

I am off today from my work and I figured that it would be fun to go to my local stores and record some crazy iphone 4 lines. I went to best buy and Verizon wireless store. And.... there was no line. None, 0.

My local best buy opened at 7 am, but no one was there except employees. I went to Verizon wireless store and again. I saw 1 person inside the store with 8 reps.

What is going on...

I thought this would be so popular. Guess not really or is it just my area?


I saw no lines in 3 stores I went to.

We need to go to that area. LOL

Pre order? Pre supposes that it is supposed to happen before. It's not a post order. Just got off the phone with VZW and have been told that pre orders will ship by the 18th and that any Joe blow who does not have a VZW account can go on and get their phone sooner than anyone who pre ordered.

So the pre in pre order is really a post order. Meaning you get your pre ordered phone after everybody else.
The rep I spoke with was totally help less and couldn't explain why they would have stock for stores today, but not have sufficient stock for the PRE order.

I'm going to go into the store and pick uo my phone or cancel VZW and go to AT&T.

VZW you dropped the ball othe PRE order.

This was not a pre-order. The pre-order was last week and we all got our phones on Monday. Not a pre-order if you're not ordering before launch day.

What on Earth are you going on about? The PRE-order was 7 days ago Feb 3 at 3:01 AM EST at either Verizon or Apple's website. We received our phones on either Monday or Tuesday (Feb 7 or 8). No ball was dropped on their part but seems like it was on yours.

Anyway, I don't know why anyone would expect huge lines especially somewhere where the weather is crazy. Most people would opt to order online. Even order on the 9th and pick up in store today.

Oh I disagree but I believe the pre-order was quite successful. People were even looking for loopholes that allowed them to preorder last week. As for camping, the iPhone is usually released in June ... you know, summer? I for one would not sit on my fat ass in front of any store in early February unless I was located in a nice warm state.

If Iphone 5 would come out in Feb.-people would sit their fat asses in front of any store!
