maybe Apple should have waited to release the 3Gs until they had sufficient stock to meet the expected demand.

I ordered the 3G S on June 11th by adding another line to my account. I pay $50 month for unlimited internet and text, and you can get the iphone date plan and text for $44 a month. With the $10 a month fee for adding another line, its only $4 extra dollars a month for the 3G S. Totally worth it, try it if your not eligible for the upgrade and can’t wait.

I’m not sure when I will receive it, bout it from AT&T. They said it was in progress. I got a feeling I won’t get it by Friday. What do you think?

Ok, I got the final answer. If you preorder the iphone 3G S from AT&T after 6/13 and in the 7-14 days window. You can not cancel the preorder. But you can order from Apple store online (You can still get it on 6/19) first. Then when the AT&T store gets your order, you physically go in store then cancel it. (No extra charge).

So, if you can’t wait 7-14 days, then go to apple store online to order one now. And cancel the pre-order later at AT&T store.

I also upgraded my 14 days old 3G to 3G S yesterday. But was noticed that I have to wait 7-14 days AFTER finishing the pre-order process. Then I went to apple online and use my number to preorder one. The problem is, then I went back and want to cancel my AT&T pre-order, they won’t let me do that. They said I have to wait until get the item in store then I can “refund” back to them but can’t cancel the pre-order.

Is it right? I never heard that the pre-order (hasn’t shipped) item can’t be canceled…What Can I do now? (Apple store can be cancelled) Should I cancel the apple store preorder and wait 7-14 days? Or get the iphone from apple first, then when I get the order from AT&T, don’t open it and return immediately?

The question is, how come they allowed me to pre-order in two different place but using the same phone number?

AT&T’s network is slow, the iphone can’t multitask and is very slow compared to the pre switch to sprint and get a pre.

I got notification from Apple.com that mine shipped this morning, shipping UPS and it’s shipping from China.

@X: Easy, game the system. My line wasn’t eligible without paying $200 more, and as much as it’s been defended I don’t wholly agree with the amount, $75 – $100 more seems more reasonable. So I used another line on my plan, to get the 3G S and will be using my old 3G on that line. Then when the “next” iPhone comes out, I can then use my plan to upgrade to that.

So let me as this question…How does someone (like myself) that got a 3G iPhone back in October get the new 3GS, seeing how I signed a 2 year contract and am not eligible for an upgrade discount until at least my first year is up?

I ordered my 3GS from the Apple Store the day it was announced. I’m supposed to receive it before June 19.

I have to say that verizon has a great network here in the greater boston area, and mediocore phones. That is why after ten years this summer I will be leaving verizon and getting a better phone, the iphone 3GS reserved it today at best buy.

i wonder if at&t is going to do a step up like they did with the Gen 1 iphone, that would rock my iphone 3g is looking a bit rough.

Best Buy charges for a reserve price, but I did get 2 50 dollar gift cards so that was kinda nice, it won’t help the price of the phone any but selling my 1st gen for 150 (I could get more on ebay but I told my coworker that I would sell to him, and this way I don’t have to pay ebay fees or paypal fees)

Reserved is not really reserved via pple online. It’s still first come first serve at the Apple store. You need to read the fine print on the pre-order screens, at the bottom it states that pre-ordering does not guarantee availability. Which is no surprise since they do not ask for any credit info.

I literally just pre-ordered mine via Apple. They sent me an email saying it’ll be ready for pickup on Friday at my local Apple Store.

The compass has more functionality than that! It will show you what direction that you are facing in google maps and Tom Tom gps. And I know this is going to add a whole lot of value to a multitude of application developers out there. You just watch.

O man you all haven’t learned have you? Steve Blow Jobs has millions of these made. Apple and att do this shit everytime to make you fanboys think you just have to have this phone “I mean come on mom, you have to by me this phone, they already sold out. If we don’t order now it will be a month.” bravo apple you have done it again.

There will not be near the herds of wanters like it was when the original iPhone came out. The only panic to buy come from within the flock!

It has no keyboard!
