New 3G Shipping Date

[traylorc]

I see some pending charges on my CC...looks like Jobs and company have come calling for my money.

 

[Big Dookie]

Yeah, mine was charged this morning as well.

This is my second time actually. They charged me once way back in March, getting my hopes up that they were shipping the 3G model early, and then credited the amount back to my card. Never was I so disappointed to be refunded $880! I'm glad that I know it will stick this time.

Omg, this wait is torture

My charge just appeared also -- $880 + part of my soul to Apple = iPad bliss

 

[urbanrunner888]

Yay!! Mine too! I can almost taste it!

The iPhone has become such an integral part of my life that I'm compelled to have the iPad -- I know that it, too, will be used often on a daily basis, sometimes supplanting my iPhone use and ultimately enhancing my experience.

I ordered the Apple iPad case. However, as a frequent conference speaker, I have lots of "cases," some quite elegant, if not precious. This morning I identified four that I am looking forward to using for my iPad. A week from tomorrow.

I get to pay with "Apple dollars." In fact, the value of my little bit of Apple stock has gone up more than enough just this week to pay for my iPad.

I try to drink a little champagne every day because I would not like to die without having my share. No one promised me tomorrow, much less next Friday.

OOOH! I wish I had some Apple dollars. I paid for mine with eBay dollars. Basically, unused gadgets and other stuff in my possession that were serving no purpose. They quickly all started looking like iPads to me

lol Wish I had thought of that.

Interesting. I got a survey from Apple recently about my experience purchasing an iPad. After I detailed my not-so-good experience with ordering/purchasing an iPad and the run around all the customer service people gave me both online and in person, I hit submit and felt better that at least SOMEONE would know I was ticked off.

However, this morning I got a voicemail AND an email from someone at Apple wanting to talk to me about my survey response. Just called her back, but she didn't answer so I left a message.

Hmmm. Cool. Better response than even I expected, and I'm a stinker for good customer service.

You think I can get something free out of it? lol

Interesting. I take that as evidence that they are trying.

Sometimes success is difficult to manage. The announcement of the IBM/360 resulted in a surge of orders for configurations that would not even work, much less meet the customer's needs. People just wanted an early order date. However, the plants were using those bad orders to decide what to build.

Yeah, I'd have to agree.

I'll let you all know what happens after I am able to speak with her...

 

[VLennert]

Well, I had a long chat with the Apple lady. She profusely apologized for all the run around I got and said they will work to improve the issues I experienced, which are documented.

Oh, and she is sending me a free case for my trouble

Nice score on the free case! Although now we know they are overpriced and they don't have much overhead in them. hahaha. But still --- good for you!

 

[MNofsinger]

Great news about the free case!

 

[BriDroid]

Exactly one week from today my new iPad 3G should be arriving at work and I'll want badly to take the rest of the day off.

I actually am taking the day off!

Well, I had it off anyway (I'm on a 9/80 schedule), but even if I hadn't I still would have taken it off.

 

[MNofsinger]

I am also taking the day off! I just hope that Fed-Ex show up early!
