This is all kind of amusing...

For those that dont understand why people are pissed, how would you feel if it was the black iPhone that wouldnt not be available? The part that really upsets me is that Apple didnt utter one word about this. The only way we found out was through a leaked AT&T communication. Apple didnt have the b*lls to even say anything and then they all of a sudden ninja edited the iPhone ad on their page. Thats pretty shady and anti-consumer if you ask me. And for whoever it was that said they wanted to avoid bad press, trust me this is much worse press than if they would have come out a day or so earlier and stated the white wouldnt be available.

It's unfortunate, but I think a slight majority of current posters are going to be acting and talking like that. It will die down a little after the iPhone actually comes out.

Yea. I mean, I'm upset it's not going smoothly and all but I'm not going to act like a little kid. We're all gonna get one eventually.

You seem to think that others cannot comprehend disappointment. That's not the case. IF it was the black iPhone that was not available, I and I'm sure others, would be disappointed. However, most mature individuals would leave it at that and not be a raging lunatic, cursing Apple for how "they have been wronged".

Boo hoo buddy. Chances are, maybe he did know if it was a production issue. If that was actually the case, they were likely just hoping they could pull through. "**** Apple"? Really...then move on.

Well it makes me feel better to be pissed off. People are going to be mad about bad news out of nowhere like this. Also, when stuff is happening, like right now, there is going to be multiple threads of the same thing. Check any other forum ever. It's not the end of the world.

I've got some bad news... it's back.

Hooray! Time for my black pre-order

OP I ordered the black ones, but your thread has troll all over it.

I can see why you'd say that...apologize for being a "troll". That's a pet peeve of mine that I guess I've given into, just making an observational statement.

Argh I get the we'll be back soon as soon as I hit add to cart.

I have that tendency too, but I don't want to f*** with these people right now. If something like this had happened in the past I could understand the " tough titty " standpoint, but I feel bad for those that sold their phones. Apple should have communicated as this never happened before.

Here's something that pissed me off. I ordered one for my wife. Then it took 2 hours to get the system to process my order for my line to get the error that only one tune account can be used to pre order. I started at 4am and finally finished at 6:30ish.

Some people waited up all night to find out there's no white one. If your not a kid and you waited up, I could imagine being super pissed.

My problem with Apple is not that an unexpected delay or malfunction occurred with the white iPhone, but that no one from the company bothers to say anything about it! It's really insulting to your customers to state you will have a product available and then just pull it with no explanation. But that's Apple I guess.

I can understand the standpoint you're coming from...I just don't think it was smart for anyone to sell their phone early. Whether they were waiting for a black or white. Staying up all night is really not a reason to be angry either, same as standing in a release line for 6+ hours...that's personal choice.

Apple should have been up front about the status of the white iphone, like they were with the ipad 3G. Could you imagine the reaction that people would have had if Apple had waited till the pre order to tell people that the ipad 3G was going to be unavailable until later in the month. Or what if today they had said only the 16GB version of the iphone was available. People would have been just as pissed.

I should have been able to go to sleep at 4:10, now my son is awake and I'm screwed for the rest of the day. I just hated that feeling of doing all that work for a product instead of it working for my $$. I normally go to sleep around 3 so it wasn't a huge sacrifice but 3 hours past 4 was.

I fully agree with you though. I didn't sell mine for a reason and I don't wait in line to pay people. They can wait for me. I will probably wait till 3/4 on the 24th to avoid the lines.

This is BS, so i get to the cart, ready to check out, and what's this i see a saved iphone in the cart (probably from one of the previous tries) takes me forever to remove it, and after i do that the site goes down and i can't complete the order. Its so amusing

Or that you won't be able to get an apple iPad case unless you feel like being raped without lube on eBay. I have a feeling the bumpers will suffer the same fate. Already looking at a July 2nd ship date.
