iPhone 4!

[swordpath]

WTF... Maybe it's at the discretion of the store to make that call, or depending on how high customer volume is at each store. I can understand if they don't want lines rapping around their building of people wanting to pick up their phone. Anyone wanting to go in just to buy a phone charger for their blackberry wouldn't be able to do so, which reflects poorly on the company.

Anyways, I got this confirmation email which states that I could get my phone via mail by the 24th (this is their aim). At the latest it says the 28th (not the 5th of July, like the rep at AT&T said).

Thank you for ordering iPhone 4 from AT&T. Your device has been reserved. Today was the busiest sales day in our history. Because of the incredible volume of orders we received, there is a slight chance that some customers may receive their devices between June 25 and June 28. Rest assured, we are doing all we can to ship devices to customers for delivery on the 24th. You do not need to take any action at this point.

Interesting. It could be that I just ordered mine before the retail stores sold out, and you did not. I know I kept reloading the apple store (between 1 and 2 am) until it worked, so I probably made one of the first orders.

I'll be fine if I get it any time in June. The anxiety of reserving an order was the stressful part. Waiting for it to arrive is smooth sailing, for me.

Yeah, I am wondering if anyone is taking this guy's calls

Unfortunately, as is the norm with apple products for me: I dislike the closed ecosystem for applications, the closed hardware, the lack of choice and as a result of it, it continues to be missing a number of functions I'm in need of.

- I'm not really allowed to fix the hardware myself and it's made to not allow me to. Working in a physical environment often, this is unfortunate. I can replace a blackberry screen for $20 and batteries are $5. Even with the best cases, I still break screens, too much shock on them.

- Touch devices do not work well with the gloves I have to wear, and are expensive to replace when the above happens.

Limbo sucks.

Come onnnnnnnnn Thursday!

 

[swordpath]

I still don't have a charge on my credit card for the phone, but I got the email from AT&T a week ago saying that I had successfully pre-ordered. Hmmmmmmm.

 

[swordpath]

I just got an AT&T email with my FedEx tracking number, though it hasn't been activated yet. So, I expect it will ship within the next day maybe?

 

[disregard]

Mine has the status of shipped as of today. I would expect a charge tomorrow, but maybe it will be on Thursday.

 

[swordpath]

Has it made any movement yet (shipment pinged at any other location)?

I'm just curious. Not obsessing.

 

[disregard]

Nope. It officially ships on the 24th though, so I don't really expect any info to be available on FedEx tracking yet.

Mine was picked up today in Fort Worth, TX by FedEx and has an estimated delivery of tomorrow (23rd) by 16:30.

Apple Now Storing and Sharing Your Location With Others

 

[swordpath]

If this is the feature I think it is, that is an option to you personally whether you want to share your location or not. I've had a notice box pop up asking if I wanted to share my location for the sake of making searches easier, etc. but it wasn't mandated.

Well pfft.

I hope mine arrives tomorrow, as I have today and tomorrow off. I reallllly want to be there when my package arrives!

 

[JocktheMotie]

Nope. You can't opt out. Apple stores location information and offers it up to advertising partners for the location specific iAds. Pretty sure Google does the same thing though.

Why bother, it's already outdated.

Why bother, it's already outdated.

The iPhone 4 is the antithesis of an out-dated product. It combines at least 6 of our generation's "must-have" technologies into one product and you call that?

Why not say "I don't care for the new iPhone"?

 

[onceuponatime]

Honestly I could really care less. I think it's a fine piece of technology without a doubt. But just like any other technology it's already being improved and next month you will be out buying a iPhone 5.
