Question from first time hopeful iPhone owner.

[bigtallguy]

If I reserved an iPhone 4 for pick up at my local Apple store, am I guaranteed to get one on launch day? Or are reservations only good while supplies lasts? I know that they will only hold it for that day, but in other words, if I wait too long to go there on launch day, is it possible that I will not get one?

I've heard/read that if you've reserved one, it will be definitely held for you until the store closes on launch day. Also heard it's probably not the best idea to wait until the end of the day.

That's what I heard too, but I've also been reading a bunch about that first come first serve stuff. Does that only apply to people who did NOT reserve one?

I'm not an expert on this, but from what I've read the "first come first serve" is only for those who did not reserve one and wish to wait in line. If you reserved one (again from what I've read) it should be held until the end of the day.
