    Anyone else pre-order this morning? I had problems with Apple's site, so I ordered online via ATT. Pre-orders opened up at 3am (central time)

    After trying for a few hours on Apple and AT&T, I was finally able to get through on AT&T. It was somewhat of a PITA though!

    I got mine! Black 16G.

    I couldn't use the ATT or Apple site (down all day, also reported some security and charging glitches) so I went into the local Apple store and one of their reps showed me another process.

    She had me download the "Apple Store" app onto my phone. From there I ran the app and set up my preorder right on the phone in about 2 minutes. Worked perfectly.

    Crossing my fingers that they allocated me one physical, manufactured phone rather than a PO that might become backordered!

    Very excited for iPhone 4. The display is stunning.

    From what I understand, most of the features will be available for the 3GS and iPad via a software update next week. What's the hurry to the new iPhone?

    Good question...... [I have the same understanding btw.]

    We do know it supports video chat with the dual cameras. I'm sure many other apps will appear that do bizarre things with *both* cameras....

    Other than that, I dunno?

    Cheers,

    Read the fine print on your acknowledgement.
    If you don't have a specific appointment time they may not be guaranteeing you a phone on the first day.

    The software yes (some upgrades aren't available on non-s phones though) but not for a while, the new hardware obviously not.

    I was going to do the pre-order and have it shipped, but it only ships to your billing address. No way would I allow that to sit on my porch all day while Im at work and the following day Im out of town. Might as well wait till I get back...

    They ship UPS or FEDEX so I doubt it would be left w/o a signature.

    Once I finally got through on the phone my order took no time to place. When I told the rep how long I'd been trying he threw in a free bumper as thanks. Not much, but a nice touch.

    The new software will be on my phone 3 days before you have your new one.

    That said, I really wanted one, but I have to wait until November. :(

    I just got through to AT&T and ordered the 32gb.

    I told my wife I would get her the new iphone for her 30th birthday. I wonder if she will notice if I give her my 3gs instead? :D

    What is the release date?
    The Apple site isn't specific but originally it was due after the new phone rollout.

    Primarily, I need a new phone - my 3G is beat up and the battery life is beginning to suffer. Aside from that, the iPhone 4 has the amazing display, HD video recording capability, video-chat, and it's much faster. Better battery life, glass front and back with a stainless band - I think they really got this one right.

    My 3G feels so slow - I'm very excited for the new device.

    I am concerned about not having an allocation. Did you get a specific appointment time? Here is the fine print below my pretty invitation:

    I'm not going to stand in line for 4 hours or arrive at 3am to pick it up at 7am. I thought I would swing by around 10am (maybe crowd has dissipated?) but if it's first-come, first-served basis, maybe they will have run out of phones by 10am?

    I'll get the latest iPhone in a couple of years. Once the 64GB 6GS model is out :p

    I got my iPhone 3GS a year or so ago and I'll try to keep it another couple of years. It works great and I'm not interested in having the latest tech toy.
