Thanks for all the replies! I hope everyone was able to get the phone they wanted and are at least receiving it in Nov. Macrumors crashed for me as I was trying to post the thread. I was able to buy one but got on the second round of shipping. Looks like my issue was inputting the wrong last 4 of ssn. I'm on a family plan with my brother as the main user. Just glad I'm getting in the first month lol. Now for my first cup of coffee in what is sure to be a looooonnngggg day.
I’m just worried that I already did a AT&T Next with Best Buy.
Should I cancel the order? Will this reservation get me the 3rd? Or a later date...
Email "Important information about your iPhone reservation" at 0541 EST
Email "Your iPhone has been reserved" at 0608 EST

Yes, you can go all the way to adding it to your cart. I've clicked through to cart to see the delivery date (followed by deleting from cart) a few times since getting the second email (still waiting on canceling my other orders).
Wow. I wish I had saved myself a few minutes of frenzied clicking. I got my reservation email and just completed the order with a 11/3 delivery. I wish I had paid more attention to that screen but I cleared it in all the haste.
However. I still have an separate order for 12/5. Should I cancel that one?

App Store opened for me at 3:03 and I received the same message and that the carrier servers couldn’t be reached. Continued to try and got my order in at 3:06. Silver,256, AT&T- Nov 3 delivery.
Hopefully all those who received that message get their phones on launch day.

Got the message that it was on reserve as well and they would email me once they contacted my carrier. Never got such email. I went to sleep not content. Woke up at 6am and opened my AT&T app and managed to pre order there with November 3 delivery date. Looks like order with Apple never went thru as it wouldn’t have showed my upgrade on AT&T app. Here’s pic of what I originally got at 3:16 am.
Where did you order from on the others?
I’m still waiting on the second email... I’m sure I’ll have to contact AT&T to reverse it or perhaps call Best Buy to speak with AT&T on my behalf.
Not sure what's going on. I just got my Next ATT agreement email, but this 'reservation' thing is still pending, with no mention of it on my order status page.
Why would they say: "you have 24 hours to complete your order or it will be cancelled" ? This just seems wrong to me. (I'm losing it

Did you get any errors when trying to order? Then perhaps continue placing another order? Maybe you got the reservation screen but dismissed it and tried again? Just an idea.Ok
On advice (very persuasive thanks
Not sure what this is about, but whatever
thanks,
That's what I did. I glanced at it, saw the reservation number I eventually got but cleared it to keep trying to order. Woke up a few minutes ago and decided to check email (TIM COOK REACHED OUT AND SAID 'USE THE FORCE') and saw the email. Now ordered. Never had any clue they might do things this way. Brilliant.
Oh I see what you saying. It could be a glitch with some duplicate info. Very good! I have what looks like a complete order, but there might have been a ghost order (I'm guessing of course). It would make sense, but it's strange. There was no indication of a failed attempt though; But it was quick, and I was tired....
Got my first email at 5:42am still haven’t received the second one to complete purchase, not very happy right now.
Uhm I got a reservation email at 3 am but I checked out at 2:09 am. Att installment plan for 11/03. I checked the email for reservation and it shows I have to pay it up front att next not avail “ I guess “ because I already used that option to order my iPhone x. Should I be concerned? I did get an order comfirmation n I see the tax charge?
The reservation is also 11/03 delivery... it shows pay 1,149 today or iPhone upgrade plan...

That’s what I’m worried about... if you get a delivery date of 11/3 from Apple, cancel your completed order and contact AT&T to reverse your upgrade in order to do the installment plan.
I know that’s what I plan on doing once I get this second email acknowledging of a 11/3 date.
I’m just waiting for ATT to open. But they also have charged me for the taxes already.
I did check out using originally att next n I’m set for 11/03 but b4 I got there. The system glitched and got the reservation email. I didn’t use it but I re-attempted check out and I still got 11/03 del comfirmation.
If I mess with the email reservation it shows next has been used n that the extra iPhone can be del 11/3 paid in full
Same here, same exact time even. 5:42 am. Still waiting. But I also just placed a second order through Best Buy a few minutes ago, paid outright for 11/10 store pickup. No carrier information required. So that’ll be my backup plan if I’m unable to complete the Apple order for any reason. (I’m concerned that my current device payment plan might be a roadblock)
I went through the process from the email even though I had a confirmed order for 12/5 and it still says AT&T Next for me. I'm curious though if I should cancel the December order. My card has not yet been charged and I'm seeing others got charged almost immediately for their 11/3 delivery.
I never got through successfully with Apple, wasn’t very smooth process as I was expecting. I knew checking servers would be a problem, perhaps taking a long time to connect.... but never would of thought that it would not connect at all.
Taxes has already been charged on my card along with the installment plan attached on my account. I’m just not sure if Best Buy will honor their estimated 11/3 pick up date.
AT&T is still showing Nov 3-10, not sure if I believe that. My cousin got 3 launch day orders from Apple. I’ll just sit here and obsessively wait for this magical email with probably a shi**y delivery date.
