Official iPhone 4G/HD Pre-order Thread

VenusianSky said:
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.

i have a FAN and I read some people loose it when ordering through Apple. I went on the Apple Store and pretended to buy the 3GS and the plan came up with no FAN so... not sure.

but i want to pre-order through Apple vs ATT. If the FAN gets kicked off I've heard its not an issue to get ATT to re-apply it.

I did not hear about that. I just thought some people couldn't order the phone at all. I shouldn't have the FAN discount anyways. When I bought the 3G at the Apple store, I had to call up AT&T to have them remove it so I could buy the phone. They did something and the Apple store was able to process my purchase, but the discount was still applied on my next bill. I didn't add it back myself. Maybe AT&T did?
 
Having it shipped (from Apple). Only have 1 Apple store in my entire state, and have absolutely no desire to go there to pick up on launch day.
 
I'm definitely having it shipped. I don't want to choose to stand in a huge line if i don't have to do so.
 
I plan on pre-ordering from Radio Shack tomorrow when I get back to Wisconsin (currently in Chapel Hill, North Carolina).

The rep there was eager and excited to hear of my business and I am eager to give it to them.,

Now that Walmart is officially signed up for launch day there are 2 stores in my city of 15,000 to carry the iPhone 4. None of which is the ATT Store (which is only a retailer, not a corp) little ironic. I have been treated worse by that store than a black man in the white house.

I am ordering mine from radio shack as well. I walked in and asked the man behind the counter about the iPhone 4 and he was also very excited to hear of my business. He sounded like he really wanted me to pre order there and he said they will be taking pre orders on the 15th and you can pick it up the 24th - unlike at&t who wont be having their preorders available at their stores until the 25th.

The man actually took my name and number so he could call me on the 15th when the pre ordering starts. The list he had was only about 4 people long, so i think my odds of recieving one on the 24th are pretty high!
 
In the past when you pre ordered, what kind of information did they ask for?

I'm not the primary account holder on my family plan, but I'd like to pre order ASAP. Can I pre order (for my own line), without being the primary line? Will I need any specific info (such as SSN) when I pre order?

Mmmm, I'm getting mine from Best Buy. I have $25 in RewardZone certificates waiting for a good cause, and iPhone 4 is it. :D
 
If I don't have to work I will be having 2 iPhone 4s shipped to my house,but if I have to work I will be picking up from the Apple store.
 
If I'm upgrading, could I preorder through apple? This is my first preorder and I'm not sure if I can upgrade through apple.
 
Busy day tomorrow for me to get ready for pre-order. :)

Need to (finally) decide between Black/White
Need to decide between 16gb/32gb
Have to go to bank to deposit money for iPhone 4.
Have to ship iPhone 3GS to e-bay buyer.
I also need to visit here frequently to find out the pre-sale time.
:p
 
I'm confused and concerned about the possibility of losing my FAN discount if I order through Apple.com. Can someone please confirm if this will happen? I'm not really supposed to be getting the FAN discount but the boys at my local AT&T store were kind enough to give it to me.

I'm pretty sure this has been covered a million times. Someone should make a sticky FAQ about pre-ordering iPhone 4 (I was thinking about it but don't have time). But losing your FAN account through Apple was a problem before but from reading the forums people say that has been fixed and you should be fine ordering form Apple. I have a FAN account also and will be pre-ordering from Apple and shipping to my home.
 
If I recall correctly, back when I upgraded to the 3G in 2008, I bought it at the Apple store and they said I had to first disable the FAN, then buy and activate the phone, then re-apply the FAN.

For the 3GS in 2009 however, I didn't have to do anything and nothing with the FAN was disrupted. It was also purchased at the local Apple store.
 
Had mine shipped last year, Fedex was at my door by 10, will do the same this year, hoping Fedex gets there just as early on the 24th :rolleyes:

Same here, in 2009 with a 3GS purchase, did not have any issues at all with my FAN in the local apple store.
 
So, it's official that AT&T stores will not be selling pre-orders on launch day? Can anyone explain to me why they will be open? What is the purpose of their existence if they are NOT selling iPhones on release day?

Anyone?

Walk-ins.

edit: oh, and something about a tie-in promo w/ U-Verse?
 
So who's pumped for tomorrow! Which site do you think will get overloaded first? AT&T or Apple?
