Preordering iPhone 3GS on Apple.com

[Munitalp]

Yeah thats what I am wondering... you got the 3G on release day and now this for $299? !!!

 

[natasha69]

How do you get it for 299 if you have the 3g?

/second that. i'd love to know how you pulled that off...

Does anyone else find it ironic that the two longest threads are:

1.) WWDC was so disappointing! (PS AT&T sucks)

2) Preordering 3GS at Apple.com

Maybe he early upgraded. I did that when I got my 3G 6 months ago, and I qualify for the full 2 year discount now.

 

[soopamac]

lol..doesn't it say that "this will take approximately 3 minutes.."

hahaha, you got me there. it normally takes a few seconds for me, so that seemed unusual.

You were expecting pages of people saying I cannot wait for the new iPhone?

my guess is that Apple didn't cave and let ATT have exclusive rights to the iPhone past their current agreement. So ATT is being the child it naturally is.

Let's say he purchased a Razr through at&t in March of 2007. In June of 2008, he decided he wanted to buy a new iPhone 3G. Since he was still under his original two year contract, at&t charged him an extra $200 to upgrade early ($399/$499 total).

Since he upgraded early and paid the extra $200, his account is still eligible for its 'normal' upgrade two years after his Razr purchase (March of 2009) and he qualifies for the now discounted pricing on the iPhone 3G S.

 

[robothero]

Yup, still got an error.

That doesn't seem to work. I am in that exact situation (different phone than the razr though ) and it says I'll have to pay FULL price for the damn thing. Luckily my mom and brother are both eligible, so hopefully I'll just use one of their upgrades.

Exactly what I did.

I'm in same situation, and doesn't work... but I'm eligible on 7/23

I ordered at around 4pm today. white 16GB iPhone 3GS.

 

[AaronHeth]

I just preordered to pick up in the store.

Do you think there will be a separate line? I wonder how backed up it'll be. I suppose this guarantees me a phone though at that store, correct?

No, doesn't guarantee it.

no it doesn't. I think pick up at stores are going on a first come first serve basis.

 

[izibo]

No, doesn't guarantee it.

Exactly, I have no idea why anyone would select the in store pickup option. Isn't the whole point to avoid all the chaos?

 

[Gix1k]

What state? cause taxes are different?

Ohio

 

[uberamd]

Still getting the error after the site came back up from maintenance.

 

[SAG3194]

Am I missing something here? When I click continue it gives me this...

Someone please help!

 

[btr94]

On hold

I've been getting the error so I'm trying to call into Apple to place the order. I've been on hold for over two hours. Anyone had any success placing an order? Any hints on when AT&T will get around to updating their website so we can preorder on there?

Am I missing something here?

Yeah. About 5 pages of comments on exactly this problem.
