But you need to at least specify, which phone number to switch, right? I have multiple iphones on an account.
Probably is my area. The "genius'" at our store are asses. Pure and simple. Looks like they dipped their hair in grease, sprinkled it with a fine dirt and gnawed on some rank bacon and used it for toothpaste. They also think everyone that walks into the store is dumb as hell. Not the case.
So I have to work way too early in the morning to able to be there when either the apple store or att open. I was planning on having it shipped to my house, and then just going to the att store later in the day to activate it with the authorized account holder (since that isn't me). I shouldn't have any problems right?? I have the original iPhone and I didn't get that one on launch day, so I'm definitely new to this. Thanks
is the $18 upgrade fee normal? My upgrade went from June 14 to available now with an $18 upgrade fee.
I don't believe pre-order is available in Canada.
But it appears you can reserve one at the Apple Store through apple.ca, but could somebody give me the low down on how that works? Does that guarantee myself an iPhone if I go to the Apple Store on the specific day I reserve one?

Pre ordering with family plan
When I pre-order, can I pre-order two phones if I want to get one for myself (primary acct holder) and the other person on my family plan? Or will they only let me pre-order one?

It will as you your number. Unless you already have an iPhone synced to that iTunes installation, then you can choose one of the existing backups.
Yes
We were able to order directly after WWDC last year....so...yeah.
Which store do you prefer to pick it up from?
I am going to have it shipped. Wondering if there is any advantage between the two.
Hey guys. What about best buy? Unfortunately there is no apple store where I live even though I call at least once a week to beg for one in a military town and beach/college town. I have never pre-ordered a phone and was wondering if anyone has done so from Best Buy? I bought my iphone from Best Buy in July last year and at that time they were still hard to come by as I got the last one in the city. Any input is great thanks!!
I already have a 3GS but can't upgrade till next year.
I've got a friend who is eligible for the upgrade but just wants to keep his 3G phone and sell me the new Iphone.
Will they let him just buy it and leave the store or will they have to activate it for him?

How would the iPhone be released on same day cause apple stores are already open. I never hears of apple releasing same day it's announced.
if you pre-order and have it shipped to you, how does that work with the SIM card? i have a normal cell phone, with a normal sized SIM card right now, and it sounds like the iPhones take the smaller SIMs. will the new iPhone come with a new SIM loaded with your number on it when it arrives, or will I have to go have it set up at AT&t or an Apple Store?
Meh, Ill probably just go to an Apple store. Something about picking it up in-store makes it better, having them do all the activation and set-up right there is nice too.
I got my 3GS at BB last year. I had not planned on upgrading but then the night before launch I figured why not.
You had to buy a $50 gift card to get your name on the list then you used that gift card to buy the phone the next day.
They said they were expecting 5 phones in and I would have been #2 on the list.

Pre-odering and having it shipped. I did the launch day store thing for the 3G, but I'd rather just have it delivered this time around.
I am going to try to pre-order on Apple site. I have a FAN discount, but from what I read on other posts, there should be no problems ordering from Apple. My guess is that pre-orders will start 10:00 or 11:00 PST.
