I honestly can't believe people still lineup to sign contracts on this network for this device. How long can Apple continue to align itself w/ AT&T's horrible incompetence?
@BrookLynnsFinest Me too I got mine black 16gb at 3AM this morning but i was unable to get it from apple.com as it would not check my account with ATT so i logged in on ATT and order one... I hope I get it on the 24 like everyone else
No love for AT&T, that's for sure. As far as Apple, I respect them, but always feel like they stop about 20% short, you know? They'll put together something great then leave out something obvious. I honestly feel like they've created their own competitors simply by the gaping holes they leave open. i.e., Android doesn't live if Apple doesn't insist on sticking only w/ At&t for that fat subsidy.
@BrookLynnsFinest I went to the AT&T store around 08:40. There was a small line, but no biggie. Sadly their servers were down though. Still waiting on a confirmation that my order for the 32GB Black model went through. Pretty ghey.
@BrookLynnsFinest Finally was able to log into the AT&T "Premier" store, which I have to use since it's a business account. The iPhone is not even available for pre-order in the premier store (premier my ass). I've had it with these incompetent jackasses. We aren't spending several thousand dollars a month for crappy service. As the contracts expire I'll be moving accounts to AT&T competitors. No more iPhones, but other carriers have great android devices that more than make up for AT&T's shitty service and crappy phone selection (other than the iPhone). This is literally the last straw. To cut out their businesses accounts that are supposed to have better access in order to make up for their lack of planning is beyond annoying.
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.
I got mine literally the moment the Apple Store came back at 4AM....
Can't wait!
@angelusp
Times are tough...hope you do have the money soon.
Which type are you planning on getting? Or do you want to get? Me personally I got the 32 GB Black....
@BrookLynnsFinest
ME TOO!!
@BrookLynnsFinest ugg...went to sleep at 3:45, expecting a 5:30 Pacific start...and have been trying like a madman for hours. fml.
@BrookLynnsFinest If I had the money, I would get the black one. White seems elegant, but I like subtlety more. =]
@BrookLynnsFinest did it feel that much better getting it at 4AM than just waiting for like 7AM?
@tu eres estupido
I got it exactly at 4AM though....
I waited till Midnight (Eastern time) then when I saw that it was going down at 4 I went to sleep and set my alarm for 3:50AM.
Was done by 4:10AM. Scarily enough by 4:30 everyone was saying that it crawled to a slowdown...

@steel
So wait are you an Apple Hater or the AT&T Hater?
@BrookLynnsFinest so it was worth it? I'm impressed

@rodtx1976
Did you choose to pick it up in store or have it delivered?
I chose in store since I triple verified that as long as you get there before business hours are over you'll be able to pick up the one you reserved.

@BrookLynnsFinest Where's the, "I'm British, you inconsiderate jerks!" option?
@dan828
Not sure why you couldnt preorder from your premier.
I could order mine no problem this morning. Still having the 23% discount on service
@sycamore714 No Apple products are showing up at all for me on the premier store.
