How do you pay? Do you have to pay then or when you get the phone. What kind of deposit do you have to put down?
 
Usually a pre-order results in your card being charged the day they ship but they will verify funds the day you order (some places).
 
Can you preorder it without paying for it yet, untill you go pick it up at the apple store?

Do they charge extra to preorder?

Thanks :)

I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I check my bank, but what was described to me matches above. I will get charged when it ships to the store. So probably 6/17 or 6/18. And no it's not extra. Actually might be cheaper since you can get out of some fees.
 
You don't pick it up at the apple store if you preorder.... it gets shipped to your door on the 19th

I started the preorder process last night but I didn't finish it, and I received this email...

What does that mean? That I do get to pick it up at the Apple Store?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out, that was for a reservation and not a preorder, lol.

Confirmed. Hold placed on CC for approx. $250 per phone (got 2 16 gigers), actual charge will be placed on the day the phone ships.
