It's Almost Time! Who Else is Getting an iPhone 4?

[SowFam]

well, I got ONE pre~order at 4:30 this morning and I went back for my second one and the site just ...died! so many people trying to pre order. I have to do the second one later today at the mall! But I got one!

I wish I had known that pre-orders were starting that early. I guess it pays to do more research because all the websites I visited quoted a 5 AM PST / 8 AM EST launch time. So I get up at 7:56 AM EST and the website is down but I figured it would be live shortly. Then about 8:30 AM EST it went live and I've been trying ever since with no luck.

Hopefully I will get mine pre-ordered before I have to go to work.

I didn't realize it was time, till I found this thread. I would gladly order one, if I could get to the order page! I can't even get past the page that will tell me if I'm eligible.

Where is everyone else getting hung up?

Does anyone know when the white one is going to be available? I called att and they gave some story about order it now then they send you an email and ask what color you want?

I preordered mine at the store this morning, when I couldn't get through the ATT site. The funny thing is, even their instore ordering system was down! They are just doing orders on paper and will email me a receipt when their system comes back up.

There were about 10 people in line in front of me when I showed up, but it went pretty quick.

Can't wait till the 25th!

Well I have a pre-order, but I wish I did not.
DD dropped my original, 3 1/2 year old iPhone on a hardwood floor and it is deader than a door nail! Everyone has tried everything and that sucker is not coming back to life.
DH went to the AT&T store and he was 2nd in line at 9:45, and the store did not open until 10! DH had just gotten his order complete and then all the systems crashed, but I am still in thatnk goodness!

I think I ordered from ATT but not sure. I got a conformation number, but no confirmation email and the order doesn't show when I look it up.

But then again the site crashed so many times when I was trying, I might be the Octomom of iphones.

This is what DH did... it's so old fashioned, I don't trust it. He has this circa 1985 reciept... no confirmation number, no nothing. Hoping for the best!

Unfortunately not. I got my iPhone 3G last fall, so I'm not eligible for the discounted pricing. While I read online that I could get a small discount, it's still too expensive for me to justify getting the new one. Especially since my 3G is still working great.

Here's what I read online about the pricing for the 16GB iPhone 4:
$199 - Price if you're eligible for an upgrade
$399 - Price if you're not eligible for an upgrade, but upgrade early
$499 - Full price if you just buy it without extending your contract

If the service is a problem in your area the Sprint htc EVO 4G is awesome!

After 10 hours of trying unsuccessfully to place a pre-order I've decided to stick with Verizon.

I really wanted one but my DW made an excellent point. I could take the $200 I was going to buy the iPhone 4 with and pay it on our Disney package. So that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Congrats to everyone who actually got the system to work. Enjoy your new iPhones!

ok, I had known about Radio shack doing a buy back program on the iphones, and being I have mall connections I also knew that I could give my name and what I wanted (after they checked my account) so after work at 1 30 today I am happy to say I snagged a 32g in black for myself and a 16gb in black for daughter.
ATT here was only letting one per person. and I needed two, so as a backup I did have Apple, but only one there also.

I was planning on upgrading my iPhone 3G for the iPhone 4 today....of course I am dead set on the white version and there are no pre-orders! I'm so disappointed, but I am going to wait until the white is released. Ugh!! I want my white iPhone and hate waiting!
