I woke up this morning eager as a bee to pre-order the new iPhone 4. Tech websites reported that the site would launch at 5:30 am PST, so that is 7:30 am Central time. I was up at 6:45 and could access the order site at 7:00 am. I saw a lot of this for the first hour:
Yeah, OOPS! is right, Oops, don't you know that your site should be renamed www.jackedup.com?
We're sorry, you're really starting to make me angry.
I did not get an order confirmation until 8:09AM AN HOUR LATER?!?!?!
Apple is at the forefront of the technology world and they can't even figure out that their site is probably going to get a mass of people trying to pre-order. Figure it out!!!!!!!
Doesn't Steve Jobs know I neeeeed my iPhone 4 with the hot pink bumper cover? Doesn't he know these things? He better not mess with me, or I will cut him.
Did you all pre-order the iPhone 4 today?
Update: It appears as if Apple charged my debit card for the approval amount THREE TIMES!!!!! When their servers were timing out and I was re-loading the page it was charging my card time after time. I have been on hold with Apple for 40 minutes now waiting to talk to someone. Grrrrrr.

I need to see if we are eligible for upgrades, but even if we are, I will be waiting for the white one. I can't wait to hear how you like the phone :)
I've been trying to pre-order all morning and I still can't get it to work. You would think they would have planned ahead...
Ugh, you have NO IDEA what I went thru this morning! ATT site kept crashing so I kept re-entering my request. Little did I know, it was going thru and charging my card EACH TIME. Bank froze credit card, AT&T accused me of fraud (REALLY?!). Then I call customer service and they act like I'm stupid for trying to redo the order process because the site crashed on me.. WHAT?! They're lucky I didn't cancel right then and there b/c AT&T already is on my you-know-what list! They're like "we can help that millions of people are ordering the iPhone this morning..." Umm, really? Do they not know by now to prepare for this by now?! Whew -rant over. I feel better. And my phone *should* be ordered.
I didn't pre-order, but I will be getting one this summer. Please give a full report once you get yours! Mine will be a reward to getting half-way to my goal weight. I'm trying to loose all the "happy pounds" I gained the first year I was married!
I'm waiting a couple of months.. The first batch of phones usually come with kinks that need to be worked out. And I really, really want the white one too! Can't wait to hear your review! :)
seriously drooling over it....i want that new screen!
I finally gave up after an hour :( I'll just wait a few days and let the madness cease.
I gave up too! Then I was informed that the new data plan is $45??? Are you kidding me! With my plan, texting and data my cell phone bill will be $190! That cant be right!! UGH.....
yikes! i'm always very envious of people with iphones- blackberry just is NOT the same- but at least I must have it for work and I can bearly keep up with one phone let alone two- I'm sure the phone will be great once you get it but dang that sucks its been such a PAIN!
I know I will be the minority here but I was never too excited about the new iphone. It might have something to do with my hate of AT&T. And a small touch keyboard.
I just got the Sprint EVO and I am absolutely in love. And my bill including the data plan with 4g less than 60 bucks. Without my discount it would be 80.
i gave up when i saw the white iphone wasn't even available for preorder. Ugh. so annoying.
I ordered mine in the store and it didnt take long at all!
ughhhh
if I don't get my reserved one next week I am going to have you overnight me one of your three! haha
I'm dying for the white one and not so happy you can't order it yet. I guess I'll have to wait.
I can't wait to get mine! I think I am going to have to wait and upgrade with AT&T...you should see my screen on the one I have right now. It is so busted!
Just another couple of reasons to go Blackberry!
