Official waiting for iPhone 5 pre-order pajama party!

[judiphilly]

Received my confirmation for my new iPhone 5 (White, 16GB) @ 3:20 EST. Used Apple Store app, because could connect on my MacBook. Then, was able to order daughter's phone on my PC without any problems, since MacBook still wouldn't let me order. What's up with that?

Oh Apple, I hardly know ye with that kind of behavior!

I ordered mine at 12:07AM and still only says "We?ve received your order" :/

Patience

Pre order on iPhone 4 went super fast like this. I believe they smashed a bunch of sales records that year.

12:08 and got the order processed email in a matter of seconds. Never got any other email but the order status page has changed the state to "Processing items" from "Your order has been received".

i see the process now. thanks!

Not even Android?

lol, show me the worldwide, massive lines of people waiting around stores for an Android.

YUP! I got on as soon as the site was working. Deliver was 9/21. Then I remembered to get the adapter so I went back a page to add it. Then the deliver for the iphone was "2 weeks" I wanted to scream.

But I've seen others with "2 weeks" and still they get it earlier by the official date. This is what I'm counting on. Got to be optimistic

You should have just placed another order... on pre-order nights, NEVER mess with an order once it's been placed.

So hard...

There aren't any... yet they try to ridicule us iPhone users for waiting in line... how's that for ironic?

Got my Email at like 310 my order is being processed. Delivers 09/21

I thought the supply was bigger this time since the rollout was going to be "quicker". Oh well, got a white 16GB from Sprint's site coming 9/21.

For anyone who wanted to know if you could change your shipping address, you can all you have to do is login to your account in the Apple store and edit your order!

 

[Fausty82]

OK, way past my bed time. Good night all... it's been fun... and if you're still trying to get yours, GOOD LUCK!

Only after it is in the "Processing Items" phase.

First order (through Apple site) initially said 9/21 delivery, but the email said 2 weeks. So I went through the Verizon page and placed another order and received confirmation for delivery on 9/21. Phew! Now I just have to cancel the first order

The only other phone i can remember generating any kind of crowd rush similar to the iPhone in recent history was the original BB Storm. But even that was pale in comparison to the iPhone releases.

 

[emozdashietxp]

might the process order be taking longer than usual because they have to update at&t account

i am upgrading...>___> since i had an eligible contract..

 

[dan_es_4]

got mine!!!

it was very easy this year... i remember last year i stayed up til 5 to preorder one because of the crashes... this year i did it in less than two minutes. the only thing that i don't like about preordering is the fact that i can't just pick it up at the apple store on friday... last year they had the iPhone on the truck the whole day but since i live in an apartment complex the ups lady i talked to said they forgot to deliver me mine... so i had to wait coz they even sent it back to the sender... plus i like talking to other early adopters about the phone and i can pick it up anytime i wish...


btw i just read that its already in the "ships in 2 weeks" phase... that was just about an hour.

Apple Site

I'm in the same boat as you. I think us Verizon folks might need some insight from you AT&T folks. This is the first time I've been able to upgrade because the iPhone 4 was released when I signed my last 2 year contract. Any insight guys?

I find things are easier and smoother upgrading through the Apple site. They seem much better with handling the added load.

It gets harder and harder to judge because they've got so many different channels to sell it now as compared to the old days when it was just AT&T.
