Odds of servers crashing?

[Fausty82]

So to answer the original question: VERY HIGH.

One would think that Apple and the wireless providers would be ready for this. It happens every time Apple releases something.

Since this is Sprint's first rodeo, I guess we could cut them some slack. But Apple and AT&T, shame on you.

How is Verizon holding up? I've seen some positive reports.

I would like to point out the "PLANNED OUTAGE" area.

I am feeling like the last kid to get picked to play sports in gym class. I just want to get one so I can go back to bed and now the Apple Store is busted again...

 

[kilcher]

Maybe w/ Apple not taking orders right now it'll ease things up on the AT&T side...

Finally placed my order on the AT&T site. Just signed in like I was gonna pay my bill and it said that I was eligible for an upgrade and asked if I wanted an iPhone 4S! I replied, "Why, Yes I do!!!" LMAO!!! After 1hour and 30 minutes of trying on Apple.COM! Steve Jobs would be disgusted!!! And heads would be rolling!

Hmm, you cannot add a line through the app.
It only redirects you to find an apple store.

Also the app works.
You just have to fight your way through the errors.

Perhaps that was the Be Back Soon thing while they were updating/waiting for the magic hour. It's still a sucky way to do business.

 

[Bias X]

Possibly

They are taking orders again

 

[MarcGoldie]

Woah, I just got one reserved? Now I have to come back to complete the process?

 

[robertpetry]

Back up on the Apple site and my upgrade, AT&T preorder (reservation) went right through. Finally.

 

[Bias X]

Ahhh, completed my add a line
Two of them
Accidentally
hahahaha

 

[kilcher]

Got to where I could select device on AT&T...
