I'm on a mac, but I figured it out...

Thanks for that!
When you're ordering are you limited to a certain quantity or can you order as many as you like?
Please, take pictures when you receive your order! I'm interested

I don't know about the quantities. I figured I had to hurry and checkout before someone beat me and I just hit "3" for the quantity. I will post pics when they arrive.

Alright, what do you suggest doing to get the fastest possible transaction?
I have all my credit card information on a MS document and have my browser refreshing the apple site everyone 1 second. Anything else I should do to hopefully "guarantee" the purchase?

It says 8:49 pst

I'm sorry that I doubted you, but the evidence was against you. Now I just have to figure out what went wrong with everything I mentioned above, including the Apple rep.

How exactly does this work with the cookies and not showing the refreshed page as it should be?

Go to the online apple store, go into your account info (or open a new account if you don't have one) and click "enable 1 click" for the absolute quickest transaction.

I enabled One-click, so does this mean once the phone becomes available I can purchase it immediately?
Here's what I'm hoping will happen:
at one point, during the refreshing process, there will be an option to buy it now, and due to the fact that I have one click enabled I can click purchase, enter the quantity, and then the transaction is complete?

Should be. Thats what I did.
 
What is the big deal about this??? It's a first-generation phone that costs the same as a refurb 3G phone with twice the storage. If you're one of the people buying it as a "backup" phone, please let me know what you do to have $150 to spend on something that will probably sit in a drawer.

You don't have to sign the two year contract to buy it, it's easier to unlock, and the data plan isn't forced on it, because it's easier to lock. for the 3G you have to sign the contract still, and products are known to be returns that have scratches
 
no luck at all refreshing for a while now. Should of stay home when they had it.

Plus, I'm only paying $51/month for 1000 minutes, free nights/weekends, 400 text messages, and unlimited EDGE on T-Mobile :D. The same on even the old AT&T EDGE is about $100/month (especially since the iPhone plan, no matter old or new iPhone, is $30/month)... :eek:

I also have way too much invested in iTunes for Music, Videos, and now Apps to throw all that away for a T-Mobile G1... :(
 
Prepared for shipment!

I just checked and mine is prepared for shipment with a delivery of Dec 22 - 24! woooo! I had an 8GB on T-Mobile a couple months ago but sold it ( for a lot more than what I bought it for ) and I just miss it so much. Thanks again for pointing it out gkarris!

I'd keep tabs on the iPod refurb pages if the deal returns but with a slightly different web address... ;)
