I'd rather wait just over a week than fight with the people at the Apple store.
I'll be in Vegas during that wait time, so I won't even notice.
I do have one on reserve, but I was having issues reserving a second one, so I'll just cancel it.

Just took a different road, same as yours.
Heck with waiting in line all day on the 24th.
Mine ships on the 2nd as yours. I can wait until then and save the personal day and frustration.

What really made me do it is what I now read in Apple's site.
It had two options yesterday. One of them is now replaced to show you local Apple stores. Says you can just walk up and buy up to two while supplies last. Why the heck did some of us waste our time making a reservation, to wait in line, to perhaps lose out our phone to someone who just shows up and did nothing else?

Site:
Buy at your favorite Apple Retail Store.
Visit an Apple Retail Store starting at 7 a.m. on June 24 to buy iPhone 4 on a first-come, first-served basis. (Limit two per person.)

I think people who show up on the 24th and wait in line without a reservation are being highly optomistic about getting a iphone that day. :2

Glad I ordered this morning. It looks like they have burned through the second batch of pre-orders as now you won't get it until the 14th.

iPhone 4s have begun shipping from Apple and AT&T. Don't get your hopes up, though -- they still won't deliver until the 24th. The ones shipping from Apple are coming from China, through Alaska, and to regional distribution hubs where they will wait until it's time to move them for delivery. The ones from AT&T are entering the shipping system; but it's believed (based on past years) they won't actually *ship* (i.e., be on trucks) until the 23rd for delivery on the 24th.

It's nice. I've been running it a week and haven't run into any major issues other than battery life has been shortened. (I can only assume from multitasking)

The iOS4 gets released today (just the operating system). The iPhone 4 is released on the 24th.

And just a warning: word around the campfire is that iOS4 isn't so friendly to the 3G. 3GS is looking good (as some of you have already experienced).

I figured that would have to be the case since they said that you must be connected to wi-fi to use it.

Re: iphone 4 just announced.
 
Although mine is ordered and expected to be delivered around 7/6-7/8, I was thinking of taking a ride to the mall on Thursday just for kicks and giggles.
I am curious to see the line.
I figure I will take a look at the line, turn around and go grab lunch at Chick Fil A, then hit the road and patiently wait for mine to eventually arrive.

speaking of "case", will I need a new Otterbox for the 4G or will the old one work?

Sorta defeats the thinner design benefit, but I cracked 2 screens on my 3G

Yep, probably because AT&T can't handle any more traffic. Boooooo

It's a totally new design so I would be surprised if the current gen cases work.

I keep getting error 9006 while downloading the update. I bet the system is overloaded.

Downloading mine now.
Hope it runs OK with my 3G.

Like I said above, you're probably going to see some problems ... particularly sluggishness. But the purtiness should balance it out. :D

Blueface 06-21-2010 05:16 PM

Re: iphone 4 just announced.
 
Just realized, I ordered the 16G iPhone 4.
While downloading the new system, I just realized I only have 5.94 free space on my current 16G 3G.
Perhaps I should have dropped the extra money for the 32G.
I guess I will have to eventually remove some stuff to make room.

Found him messing with the phone and now seems the download is stuck.

mine was sitting for a long time at the "backup" stage and it finally started going again, good luck

I'm just now updating my phone. I downloaded it earlier and waited to come back and plug it back in. It's just finishing the install now.
Lisa updated hers earlier. There's lots of neat new stuff. She even pm'd me a screenshot of her new desktop on her phone. That was wicked cool. :)

May show up on Thursday and if the line is not that bad (yeah, right), I may wait to see if I get in and can always change my mind about the 16G at the store and get the 32.
I just hate the idea of dropping another $100.

floydpink 06-21-2010 06:15 PM

Re: iphone 4 just announced.
 
Supposedly I am upgraded to 4.0 although it stalled at some restoring point and I restarted the synch.

Aside from a little glow under the phone, mail, ipod etc icons, I am not seeing all the new stuff. Am I blind?

Carlos, I am in the same situation as far as storage and will definitely upgrade to larger storage as I keep most of my favorite music with me at all times.

Edit: Ok, my camera has a zoom, and wants to use my current location.

Greg, where are these folders you speak of?

floydpink 06-21-2010 06:34 PM

starting to discover new cool stuff.

If you click on "places" in the camera roll, a Google map shows where you took the photo!!

Over an hour to get to the letter "c" on "backing up"

Pete you can push on an app until they start to shake, then you can move an app and drop it on another then it will create a folder (automatically naming it) and then you can put up to 12 apps in the folder. You can also rename the folder as well.

I guess timing is everything. I updated my 3gs 2 hours ago and it downloaded and installed in less than 20 minutes. I am now updating my wifes 3gs and it is reporting 3 hours to download.

Yea, but it comes with a new two year contract.

I canceld my down load because it hadn't even gotten to the "b" in backing up yet. Just restarted it twenty minutes ago and its to the "k"
