Where Are You Pre-ordering from Tomorrow?

[Geckotek]

Normally I would reserve @ Apple, but if the Bing cashback turns out to be an option, I'll go that route.

 

[Ntombi]

apple.com for pickup, only because I enjoy the in-store experience. Especially when I'm in the shorter pre-order line.

 

[zizo79]

Apple.com for the first time because I do not want to deal with the rudeness and lack of knowledge of AT&T's reps.

Apple, now

Apple.com and having it delivered on the 24th, don't like going to the at&t or apple store

 

[pawo]

wow.. whats the difference between pre-ordering at apple vs att? other than the 25th pick up date @ att.

I'm going to att. I have a line on a business plan, and I think its just going to be easier setting everything all at once in the store.. seeing how I'm not the owner of the plan, but I just got authorized to upgrade and what not.

I am ordering through Apple and then picking it up in store (either San Francisco or Pleasanton)

 

[Chupa Chupa]

For now, Apple for delivery. Tried and true. Plus I have no incentive to order anywhere else and possible get lower service. Now if BB offers 3x RZ points I may reconsider. Otherwise Apple it is.

 

[Apple...]

Majority rules: Apple's online store.

Apple!

Wow... thanks for posting that. If I was even considering either reserving one at AT&T or waiting in line, I won't now. Definitely Apple.com for me all the way. Now to decide Black or White, 32GB or 16GB, delivery or store pickup.

Apple! This way i won't have to deal with stupid COR reps.

Maybe I've missed this in other threads, but the rate plans on the Apple site don't include the Family Plans which I use with my spouse. It says "AT&T FamilyTalk plans are also available for up to 5 lines. (FamilyTalk plans are available through Apple Retail Stores and AT&T)"

Does this mean I have to order my phone through AT&T or will it default to my current plan?

 

[makefunnyfaces]

I would like to pre-order & pick mine up at the Apple store (due to friendlier employees), but I'm doing an upgrade swap with my mom. Would I be better off pre-ordering from AT&T because of the swap?

 

[Siret]

The Shack for me.

The Shack for me too. I actually already pre-ordered two 32GB iPhone 4s(one Black and one White for the Mrs.) by giving the RS store manager my credit card info which he will enter first thing tomorrow morning.

I am traveling to the East Coast tomorrow and I cannot go to the RS store to pre-order.

The RS store is also taking my 16GB 3G for trade-in and giving me $20 discounts for any accessories.

Sweet Deal!!!!!!

Oops. answered my own question by reading the FAQs.

"Can I use my current rate plan with an iPhone?
Yes, if you currently use iPhone 3G or 3GS, you can keep your current rate plan. "

 

[griefrev]

I wonder how the lack of white iPhone availability will affect the preorder volume.

 

[bub]

I'm preordering via the apple website but I don't know whether I should pick it up at the store (Soho, NYC) or have it delivered. FedEx is somewhat notorious for lying about attempted deliveries so that I never get anything on time.

I'm wondering how long it will take if I show up a little after the store opens and the lines are moving.

 

[frozencarbonite]

AT&T unfortunately. I have to sort out some account related issues.
