That's messed up.

I'd be heated!

Oh i am right now just not showing it. :cool: :D

How many iPhones do you guys think are gonna be in store that morning before they sold out? I live in Queens in a pretty good populated part so I suspect they have a good amount in stock. I guess it has somesay in how many iPhones they have? (The amount of people living in the area.)

Is the system still showing you eligable for upgrade? I checked right after I ordered. I even went to apple site to ck my eligibility which said I had an open order. I refused to go bk to bed unless I was certain. I ordered at 249 am.

Yep, i even spoke with a rep and she confirmed there was absolutely no orders on any line for anything and the lines were eligible for an upgrade.

On the 9th you should be able to reserve one, then pick it up on the 10th in store. I would say that is your best bet to get instead of waiting in the long lines for the first come iPhones.

I know that i can order it again on the 9th, but i never heard about it being reserved, only that it will be shipped to me, not picked up in store. I'm very impatient, and must always have a sure thing.

Take a look here[/COLOR]

Look at February 9th second paragraph. This is only through Apple that I know of.

Dude, that hurts! How in hell did that order get screwed up ? I thought the shipping delays would be Verizons mishap. This is not good business. Well, good luck on the 9th. I feel your pain...!

Yeah thank you, but the problem is since im not the authorize holder my mom has to be with me and the only time she can do it is in the morning. :(

She could add you the acct as one, then remove you after you get your phone. My wife and I have done this on our acct for Verizon. She ordered me an iPhone for my birthday on my acct and had no issues.
