iphone 4 just announced. - Page 14

Smokin Gator · 06-15-2010, 06:21 AM

Argh!!! It won't take my order on the web and Apples phone system is down. ATT has a 7-10 minute wait and I have gotten cut off twice after almost 6 minutes!! Very un-Applelike.

newcigarz · 06-15-2010, 06:24 AM

Got it, now the long wait until the 24th!

**Edit - Damn I must have just got in, store is down again!**

The Professor · 06-15-2010, 06:39 AM

Yeah ... you lucked out. Seems to basically be rolling blackouts on the Apple website. Epic fail. The ATT Premier site is up an running with the iP4 finally showing. I think I'll order it from there (though I wanted to order a bumper along with it).

Edit: Looks like the Apple Store is back online for me. Hmmmm....

Yeah ... it's dog slow. So's ATT's site. If you think about it, demand is probably higher for this one than any previous release. The 3GS was pretty high; but a lot of 3G owners didn't upgrade. So today we're looking at 3G folks upgrading, a lot of 3GS folks upgrading, plus a ton of new customers. I bet you anything this is the biggest launch for a smartphone. Ever.

Wait..June 15th.. *checks calendar*. I KNEW "State the Obvious Day" was coming. Some reason I was thinking next week.

Chances are every other iPhone revision will be marked as "The biggest launch for a smartphone, EVER" unless Apple really screws the pooch.

Yeah I'd say your right. I finally gave up on the Apple site and went to the ATT site and it's doing the same thing. I'll probably wait until tomorrow or later this evening till it slows down a bit.

P.S I wonder how much of the site is clobbered by new Mac Mini orders

Funny ... I guess I can't use the ATT site because it doesn't recognize the hyphen in my last name as valid. A**holes. Okay. I'll wait for the Apple site to work, I guess.

Maybe it wouldn't let you order because you did not fax them a permission letter from your wife.

If you look at the very bottom of the page it has a statement. I have cut and pasted it below for you:

"No pants, no service"

Oh no he didn't!

I think I will give up for the day.
This is nuts.
I get to the page asking to know if an existing customer and can't move on from there.

aich75013 · 06-15-2010, 09:14 AM

Just curious about the old iPhone. Can it still be used to play music/movies without being used as a phone?
I haven't tried ordering after reading the comments here. Plus my wife wants a white one.

croatan · 06-15-2010, 09:18 AM

For such a hyped launch, it's pretty amazing that they're failing so miserably this morning. I wonder how many millions of hours of productivity are being lost across the country right now as people keep trying to get the site to work. I know most folks in my office haven't gotten jack for work done yet.

It is amazing.

I have wasted quite a bit myself.
Tried Apple.
Tried AT&T.
Both are locked up and literally crashed.

Tried calling them for kicks.
Neither can take the call due to volume.

I guess there is not much interest in Apple's new phone at all.

newcigarz · 06-15-2010, 09:40 AM

not sure why, but I don't seem to be having much of a problem since the site went live. I do have dsl 6.0 , but I'm sure others have connections that are just as fast.
Also Apple release an Apple store iPhone app today. They said u could download the app and upgrade from ur iPhone
