I understand that Verizon customers will be able to pre-order the iphone on feb 3rd, does that mean that they will ship on feb 3rd or will you just be sent one on the 9th and get it on the 10th with everyone else that waits in line for hours?
If you pre order a phone, is it shipped to you with your number already programmed into it or do you bring it in to your local store to have that done?
I have pre-ordered a few times with Verizon. More times than not, I have received my phones before they were available in the stores. Not saying this will happen with the iPhone, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.
You can activate it from home.
Pardon my ignorance, but how do you activate it from home? Do you do it online, on the computer, over the air? What exactly do you do?
The activation process for iPhones involves hooking to a computer and syncing with iTunes. Part of Verizon's "get ready" process includes instructions on downloading and setting up iTunes.
how does hooking up with itunes activate a phone for verizon? Maybe that is something else you have to do but i still think there is something you will have to dial on the phone to activate it
what time does everyone think the preorder will start on the 3rd?
I really wish the Pre-orders would SHIP the 3rd. I will be out of town the 5-12. So if it ships the 10th, I won't be home to sign. I could have it sent elsewhere but that's a pain. I've considered picking up in store on the 10th (I'll be in Las Vegas) but I really hate to wait in line at who-knows-what time and NOT get one!
Didn't they do pre-orders for pick-up at Apple or AT&T for the AT&T iPhone 4???
