- I thought there was suppose to be a limited quanity? Just pre ordered mine and got confirmation for it etc. I also noticed people had them ordered before 0300 hrs with success......I wonder if this was Verizon's and Apple's way of not allowing a site crash? Im just happy its ordered after all these years of waiting and reading forum's and blogs on the internet!!!!02-03-2011 07:25 AMLike 0
- I was surprised to see that when I elected to add a line there was a drop box to choose how many line I wished to add. There was at least an option to select 5 & maybe more which AT&T never would allow. You only could get one on their launch. Limited quanity might have been just in case something went wrong or marketing to get everyone on the fence to buy right away.02-03-2011 09:20 AMLike 0
- They say limited quantity because that draws up demand. But like I said a few days ago, no one should expect this to be nowhere near the figures of previous AT&T iPhone preorders. I'd expect VZW to make a big splash on the 10th.02-03-2011 09:21 AMLike 0
- Agree it isnt going to be as big as with at&t for one simple reason: its the same phone that was released months ago so alot of people arent going to jump ship for it now when future iphones come to verizon that will be a different story if they come the same time as at&t I could see a lot of people leaving then. Its all about creating a demand that most likely isnt as high as they say02-03-2011 09:27 AMLike 0

I also think the pre-order quantity is their entire "warehouse" (or whatever you call it) supply. Once that runs out, you go on back-order. They'll fill as many pre-orders as they can. If they run out of pre-orders, you will be on back-order when you order on the 9th unless you can get one in-store on the 10th. If they don't run out of pre-orders, then they'll fulfill orders on the 9th-forward until the stock runs out.02-03-2011 11:06 AMLike 0 - I think it's more of a farce. I agree it's a way of saying thank you to current customers who have been waiting. But, the more people they can ship a pre-order to, the fewer people show up at stores. And Verizon makes the most $$ off online orders ... no commission to in-store sales people
