what the heck is the point of PRE-ORDERING if we have to wait

[himynameiscody]

they should make it up to us somehow. i was expecting it on 10/14, that's what it said when i ordered it......and now it isn't shipping till 10/21


edit: my current phone broke so i'm phoneless till then

If you didn't preorder you would have to wait even longer. So there.

 

[DarkJello]

if you didn't have to wait it would just be ordering

Really? Interesting. How long have you waited? And can I get a ride in the time machine you came back in being that the thing hasnt even launched yet?

It's October 14th?

Waiting IS the entire point of preordering. It provides peace of mind through a guarantee. That's it. Not that difficult to understand.

Hmm, nope...
I will be getting my mobile phone this Friday at the retail store.

a lot of us who preordered won't get it then

Waiting is also what you do after ordering. What is wrong with the kids of today? Do you order a pizza and expect someone to ring your doorbell as soon as you hang up the phone?

A time machine AND a crystal ball! I'm impressed...

Blame UPS, FedEx, your doorman, your neighbor, your GF, you dog, your fish, your hamster, but NOT Apple or the carrier!

No but it would be free if it wasn't here in 30 minutes or less

 

[himynameiscody]

i was told when i preordered it i would have it on 10/14

 

[billsrcursed]

i was told when i preordered it i would have it on 10/14

Then wait until 10/14 before crying...

 

[DarkJello]

i was told when i preordered it i would have it on 10/14

and you're not getting it that day? need a little more info for this to be a valid gripe lol.

 

[wordoflife]

Preorder means you get to buy the phone before they are released.

 

[ZBoater]

Preorder means you get to order the phone before they are released.

There, I fixed it for you.

 

[bushman4]

Pre- ordering better than waiting on line on Friday. Keep in mind no guarantee you will get it on Friday even if you wait on line.

 

[yanki01]

so we wont have to wait in line like everyone else.

 

[himynameiscody]

it says it will ship on the 21st...so i'll get even later

Nah - I tried that once. It's no longer a guarantee, just an "estimate"
