@Smart People Play Tuba no... they had a paper with the option to choose a black 16 or 32 or a white 16 or 32. they told me i would get a call when my phone arrives so im keeping hopes up
@ivanova1011 lady at the best buy i preordered at said "white is a 50/50 shot of arriving in white on launch after an official statement by apple saying end of the summer for white was released" but yeah, i saw the paper... i think people that picked white at best buy are in for some major oops-age
@ivanova1011 So they had a paper that said white or black and they said they'll call you when it comes in? That's not a pre-order, that's an old-school waiting list. I wouldn't expect that call on or ever near the 24th.
Yeah, Best Buy is not taking pre-orders; they're taking reservations. They don't know what they'll be getting yet per store, and what they get won't be dictated by what reservations they take. If they only get ten back 32GB models and you had the eleventh reservation, you're SOL. I ended up going with it though, b/c there was only one person ahead of me that wanted the same model (black 16GB).
@ivanova1011 My Best Buy told me that even though they had the SKU for the white ones on their pre-order form, they will only be selling the black ones on release day.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
so... i was able to pre-order one from best buy... i white 32gb. I wonder how that will go...
@ivanova1011
I thought the white ones weren't available for pre-order. You sure you didn't get swindled into taking a black one?
