Ordered my iPhone 3Gs - how about you? Apple is now shipping

**Jeremy** · 06-08-2009, 03:46 PM

Ordered my white 3Gs direct from Apple just now. Curious how many are going to take the jump....?

**jamesus** · 06-08-2009, 03:54 PM

I'm waiting until July 11th, as that is when I am available for an upgrade discount...

**redbeard** · 06-08-2009, 03:57 PM

AT&T says I'm not available for the upgrade until January, so no.

**jstrickland** · 06-08-2009, 03:57 PM

I seriously doubt it. I still have a year left on my current contract. I might as well wait and see if next year's line of iPhones offers enough incentive to upgrade. I really want video, but not enough to pay full price for the new iPhone.

Yeah, my upgrade shows the 12th of July. So no special iPhone early upgrade like last year?

BadAsh, what did it cost you?

**msbaylor** · 06-08-2009, 04:05 PM

woot! just checked, I available to upgrade! I can finally get rid or my 2G/4GB iPhone! lol...wonder if my case, will fit it...

**shutter** · 06-08-2009, 04:09 PM

Eligible in August.

**blackblood#im** · 06-08-2009, 04:11 PM

Absolutely not!

**hermdog** · 06-08-2009, 04:14 PM

I'm upgrade eligible 7/12. Going to shoot for a 32G. I hope they don't have shortages. For those of us who have to wait to upgrade.. at least we don't have to wait long for the 3.0 upgrade which is June 19th.

**vanishingvision7** · 06-08-2009, 04:18 PM

I personally thought that I would be upgrading for sure.

After hearing what AT&T is doing, I'm very turned off by it.
Waiting for MMS is something I don't like but I can deal with, but no tethering is something I cannot.

So................................. looks like I will be jail breaking my iPhone just for tethering.

Hi! I have been lurking for quite some time, but have never registered until today.

I just ordered the 16g 3GS from Apple direct. I got early upgrade pricing, so I was somehow able to justify the expense to myself.

I know that I am going to have questions when my new iphone arrives. I currently have the 8g 3g model since February. When my new iphone arrives will I activate it through itunes? Will I do a restore from the backup of my current iphone?

Okay, I guess I will come back if I can't figure it out on my own, but now that I have ordered it, I have realized that I don't know what to do with it when it gets here.

**big9erfan** · 06-08-2009, 04:52 PM

Can't move from T-Mobile till August, so I'm waiting ( but not long ). The 3GS is more or less as I expected...I just need to decide between 16 & 32GB.

I don't really intend to use it much as a music player, so how much space do people find is taken up by apps, texts, email and the not too often web browsing?

Do you have a url? Did they indicate when they will ship?

**DRLyman** · 06-08-2009, 04:57 PM

Ordered mine, too. I went with the 16GB white one.

Thats what I have sittin in my cart right now,, still cant justify the $200 upgrade ,,,, did you choose Next Business Day shipping ($16) and does it mean you will have to wait till 22nd??

My understanding is that 3.0 is available on June 17. Do you have a url?

**gludington** · 06-08-2009, 05:06 PM

Tempting, but not enough to justify the $499 they want for the 32GB one.

Next time.

Yes I did. It said that for me, too. I guess we'll see what happens. Hopefully it will be here the 19th.

**PirateNinja** · 06-08-2009, 05:30 PM

not too impressed with the upgrade, and no MMS when 3.0 launches?

i can wait for a complete redesign

Heard this from other people as well. Try calling in your order.

**Neutrino** · 06-08-2009, 05:58 PM

Not eligible for an early upgrade until December 12. Like others, the added functionality/storage capacity doesn't warrant a premium upgrade. I'll continue to monitor and make a decision by December. Who knows. By that point, an iPhone may be announced for VZW.

So basically here in the US, we don't get MMS for 3.0, that's misleading, more like around when the 3.2 update comes out..

**Mushy2012** · 06-08-2009, 06:01 PM

Just walked into local att store and ordered my 32gb! The rep said they might open early on the 19the just for peeps who preordered. Its nice tpy know I can just stroll in and grab one. I guess this is a new thing att is doing this year.
