Price should not differ depending upon who you order from. All other things equal, one prefers to do business with Apple.I haven't read the whole thread, so it is possible that I missed the possible answer to my question.
I got my 3GS on launch day last year and am eligible for the upgrade pricing with an extension to my contract with AT&T. My question is this: Can I preorder with either Apple or AT&T to ensure the correct pricing? Is there an advantage/disadvantage to having it shipped to my house instead of picking it up in the store?
