What is amazing is that Apple will probably sell a lot more "old" iPhones than "new" Android phones on Verizon's network....especially when everyone knows that a new iPhone will come out in 4 months. What will happen to Droid sales this summer? Prob fall off a cliff.

The fact that another iPhone will probably be announced this summer didn't concern me at all. There will be no 4G in my area for god knows how long (very rural). By the time 4G does roll around, a new iPhone will make sense. I don't see it coming to my area until about a year and a half though.
 
i want so badly for someone to post that they received shipment notification by sometime tonight. fingers crossed
 
Same reason's here. Ordered mine and the misses this morning around 3am CDT for pickup at Ridgedale (Minnetonka, MN) on Thursday sometime.

Coming from T-Mobile we have to setup the family plan at the store but would have waited until the 18th if that's what it took.

We have Verizon iPhone and ATT iPhone, and when looking at the costs for the 2 senarios:

1) breaking contract with ATT, Get new verizon phone
2) finish ATT contract then get new verizion phone

We could save a few hundred by switching the ATT phone, but I would be stuck with 2 year contract.

I plan on completing the contract with ATT, unless Verizon gets the 4g iphone - In that case, I will eat the termination fees and jump.:)
 
Ok...so, I'm pretty sure I reserved 2 iPhones for Apple store pickup tomorrow (did the process twice). Apple sent me 2 emails, each saying 1 iPhone reserved.

No confirm number in the emails, which I think is odd. I guess I'll just assume I'm good to go.
 
If someone was selling you a phone and told you, but you only get signal 80% of the time and even when you do you will drop 70% of you calls is that is ok???? That is what some people get with AT&T. Even when I have a AT&T data signal the transfer rates are horrible.

It isn't just in NY and SF that people have lousy signals and coverage.

AT&T sucks in the Atlanta metro area too.
 
Waiting as well...

Hello y'all.

I ordered this morning from apple at 1AM MST. I too have an estimated ship date of the 18th, and i'm really hoping that is not true.:mad: I pre ordered on the first day, then cancelled my order because of the out of contract price differences between apple and Verizon (Verizon is trying to screw everyone they can with this phone). Hopefully I will get this really soon. I'm tired of waiting :/ My bumper and dock are showing ready to ship, phone is showing Not Yet Shipped :confused:

I didn't get any reservation number either. Just two confirmation emails. Though I had to long in via my iTunes account and I'll bet that's how they track it.

Did you reserve the same two models (eg 2 16gb), or two different (1 16g and 1 32gb)?

Same two models, both emails say "Reserved Items: 1 iPhone 4 32GB : Verizon"
 
I was gonna order this morning when I saw the ship date of 2/18. Think I'll just walk over to the Apple store this weekend and pick one up in person instead. Hopefully, there's no long line.
 
a friend of mine who is apple-obsessed and apple-smart gave his opinion on the situation. his words:

considering wal-mart is getting physical units on launch day, i don't think supply is that constrained and they'll ship earlier than that.
 
gosh..it's already over 6 pm est and no one has posted they got a shipping confirmation email...why couldn't verizon give us option for store pick up :(

You could have done it at the apple store. But good luck with those lines...

Just heard that the shipping is going to be the 18th for about the 27th delivery. Apple site will allow you to RSVP to pick up in Apple store only though. (I got mine last wk) Just thought I would shed some light on some of it...maybe. I hope it gets to you sooner. It's awesome thats for sure! Best of luck! :apple:

I bought it from Verizon at 3am EST, and my order confirmation says:

(1) APPLE IPHONE 4 32GB +$21.00 tax $299.99
(1) FEDEXSTDOVERNIGHT3PM $0.00

If it is actually shipping on the 18th, I would still expect it by the 19th if it's FedEx Standard Overnight 3pm.

Seeing that though makes me think it'll ship on the 10th for delivery early on the 11th.

Here's to hoping
 
So it says "We've received your order and it is in process." Everyone else have that message too when they check their order status? I've noticed they haven't charged my card yet either.
