Thanks for the info man, I found it very interesting. I can’t wait to see more online money making guides.

Somebody walked on my Nokia N95, so I decided to go for a 3G 16GB. At the store, I also decided to make a surprise to my wife and ordered 2 3G 16GB, one blk, one wht. That was Friday 18th of July. On Tuesday 22nd, AT&T was calling me to tell the the white one was in. So I got the white one and I have now to wait 20+ days to get the black one in replacment of the Nokia… Actually, when you have the phone in your hand, you bearly see the color, and finally, the white is not bad at all. So I am going to change my order and try to get a white one as well. Anyway, one day we will find chromed or other nice colored covers.. right Be patient Raoul

It sucks that there are supply issues. But what is ten times worse is when you wait in line for an hour, get to the front door, and then have the Apple guy announce that they have been out of all black iPhones for hours. Someone asked the guy why he didn’t bother to tell us when we first got in line and the Apple guy looked up to the sky, got pissed, and walked back into the store. I feel for the guy, but all the dude had to do was tell us what the fu_k was going on. The people who made the iPhone are geniuses. The people in charge of the distribution and sale of iPhones are morons. A great and sad time in Apple’s history.

What a bunch of Keystone cops!!! Why can’t we order online, pay for it, and go into a store to activate it? Makes too much sense I guess.

@ Reptile

I just got a call from my ATT store (Palm Bay, FL) and they have my 16gb black in. I placed my direct fulfillment order back on the 11th. I was 26th in line and they only sent my store 18. WHAT CRAP, eh?

Anyways, there is still hope! Good luck!

lol. This is already down again. ATT cites an employee error in prematurely announcing it. However, I do believe that its slowly being rolled out at some locations (I guess as a sort of beta testing).

It has been a long, dramatic week. The fun of standing in line with a good group of folks, the immediate sell out in just over an hour and the hope with a Direct Fulfillment order. Now add to it with the pain of not knowing where in queue I am for my direct fulfillment order and if the 7-10 day wait they told me about is going to be more like 10-20.

The link and phone numbers that AT&T gave out are nice but I hope they are more forthcoming with information to level set expectations. As a good utility I doubt that the will unless people start to rock the boat in the media and on the web.

I'm trying to be optimistic and looking at the benefit of waiting. When my Black 16G arrives I know that the activation issue will have been long past, that free apps I downloaded from the App store are more stable (there have already been a few that have upgraded - so the App Store is as advertised) and maybe any bugs in the 2.0 firmware will be worked out with the release of a 2.0.1 release. And by the time my phone gets activated I'll be up to speed on the apps that cost money with reviews right here. So while I'm still using an inferior phone on Sprint I'm not totally frustrated - at least not yet.
