Hello everyone, first post. Nice to be here.
We have some old iPhones so I decided to order a couple of new phones. Based on the info, it seemed like a good idea to pre-configure a phone so it would faster and easier to order that on order launch time. Well, as many know, the initial few minutes of the launch were very buggy. I could not do much because it said to simply wait. I used a browser and my phone - neither would allow me to do much. I could not even load my previously configured devices for the first few minutes. They simply did not appear under the saved iphone for pre-order page. I had to login and logout multiple times to get the pages to load.
But a few minutes later, after multiple tries, the pre-configured phones did appear and I was able to order them. By then, it was probably around 8:08-8:12AM (EST) or so. So I got the estimated ship date of Oct-3-Oct-10 for the phones. So well past the initial launch delivery date. Not sure what happened but I believe the buggy nature of the order process meant that others got in earlier. Oh well, not a huge deal, but still - that pre-order selection didn't seem to help much with the ship date. Anyway, it's still nice to be able to order the phones.
Looking forward to it. Wish you guys the best.
