I'm going to wait outside for Delivery guy!! Nite

I haven't looked at Apple.com's actual store until now... it says it isn't available to ship for 2 weeks now. Has it been saying that the whole time? Or have they sold out of the first batch?

They must be sold out of the first batch. I used the App and my email confirmation said delivery 9/21.
Good luck!

Welcome to the world of the iPhone. You're not going to see this with any other phone.

I've had every iteration in my hands on launch date but this one. Just sucks.

My order is being processed as of 3:01am! Who else can't go back to sleep?

 

[PhxBlue]

I like to carry on conversations with myself.

BOOM! FIRST! (on page 278).

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

They've got more money to spend on it. These type of orders are actually pretty tough on "regular' companies. They don't have the millions to spend on servers/bandwidth for one or two days. Apple's rolling in the dough.

ATT, APPLE, WALMART...not a damn thang

I had the same problems. Used the suggestion off this site and tried the Apple Store App. Took minutes to complete. Delivery 9/21

Used chrome on my iPad. 2 black 16GB ordered for sprint from apple store.

Used chrome on my iPad. 2 black 16GB ordered for sprint.

Congrats! Chrome is pretty good on the iPad!

looks like now on the apple web site if you pre order for any carrier, there is a 2 week wait time for shipment

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.

I remember waiting for the Storm line was 4 people!

no sense in it, have to be up at 5 anyway . Had to use the Apple app and got my order for a white 16GB and a black 32GB in on time for 9/21 delivery. The AT&T store crashed while I was in checkout!

 

[herofromsomeday]

YES! My order has gone from "We?ve received your order" to "Processing Items." Changing my shipping address to my work address and off to bed I go. Goodnight everyone!

 

[Redshirt]

I remember waiting for the Storm line was 4 people!

And how long did it take to get that order completed? I remember buying a phone from an AT&T store years ago and it was like 30-40 minutes...

Grr, still at "received" here and waiting for "Processing".

It's Official on apple site...2 Weeks for delivery.... Great nite with y'all... Nite

 

[m1hoff]

It said 9/21 on the order, but the email confirmation said 2 weeks. Oh well we'll just see what happens; no worries.

And how long did it take to get that order completed? I remember buying a phone from an AT&T store years ago and it was like 30-40 minutes...

It took about 35 minutes, one reason it took so long was they had to find where they put the shipment of phones lol. I work for Sprint at a store and activations usually can take up to 30 minutes, sometimes 15 if you're lucky. A lot of prompts and stuff we sales reps have to go through

 

[cableguy619]

well I am assuming all went well. So will see if they pull full amount out tomorrow from back .. night all !!!
