Uhoh...already crashing?

[cruiz1022]

So I signed into myverizon to update one of my lines to a normal Droid Incredible (since it's gunna come out free for my father) look what I got:



Error 503--Service Unavailable
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.4 503 Service Unavailable

The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay may be indicated in a Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD handle the response as it would for a 500 response.

Note: The existence of the 503 status code does not imply that a server must use it when becoming overloaded. Some servers may wish to simply refuse the connection.


now I REALLY hope this isn't something thats gonna happen at 3AM!!

Just to inform you guys, I loaded it up a second time and it went through... just letting you guys know so you can prepare and know what CAN happen

 

[shipwrestler125]

people worry too damn much. You realize they usually shut down the site for a few minutes to work on maintenance things before a preorder. The way people are freaking out amazes me its just a phone people smh

 

[Blackcash]

I'm sure it's just maintenance to get ready for the launch.

or a server hicup. I've experienced that on a lot of sites.

I'm sure Verizon set up some extra servers to handle everything. If you do experience a crash. Don't panic as that will only make matters worse.

Don't panic as that will only make matters worse.

I suppose next you will tell me that in the event of an emergency my laptop CAN be used as a personal flotation device?
