stuck on checking eligibility

 

[LyleLanley]

says october 14th for me.

The unlocked ones?

 

[X-Frame]

Wait, we just reserve it from the Apple Store and then we go back in at a later date to pick all the rest of the details?

This wasn't what happened last time ..

 

[Evlar]

OK, just got a reservation number through the Apple Store, AT&T upgrade. Good.

 

[Popstar]

Canadian Apple Store is up. Unlocked black 64GB ordered. Woo. First iPhone (or smartphone for that matter).

 

[Gary Whitta]

WTF is says my phone has been reserved but they'll email me when it's time to complete my order?

 

[Auron_Kale]

Dammit Apple, why won't you let me pick unlimited when I have it?!

There we go...

 

[plainr_]

WTF?!

Stuck on this screen

 

[Particle Physicist]

For some reason it didn't let me pay...

As soon as I clicked continue I got this:

Your reservation number is: xxxxxxx

We will email you at xxxxxxxx@gmail.com when it's time to complete your order.
At that time, you can link back to the Apple Store to confirm eligibility and your iPhone voice, data and messaging plans.
You can then place your order, and your new iPhone will be shipped to your door.
You may check the status of your reservation at any time by visiting buyiphone.apple.com/status

 

[criesofthepast]

got my confirmation email already.

it's not inexpensive, though. might not be worth it to go "maximum geek". their pre-designed engravings actually support the artists that made them. plus, they look fucking sweet. that said, if you really want that design or something similar, go for it.

$0.02

i'm sorry but it's 4 am...where do i click which "pre-designed" case i want?

Edit: nvm found them

 

[Trojita]

how do i get a specific design in the bamboo site? i want that damn gameboy lol

There is an option to make your own custom design. You may be able to ask if you can get that design and point it to them. They advertise it as one of the designs a customer asked for.

Same, can't get past it

 

[Moaradin]

I don't how how Apple does their releases.

Say I want to upgrade from the 3G. Would it be better to get the 4GS or wait for the inevitable iphone 5?

 

[3N16MA]

These wooden cases are nice. I like that they cover the volume buttons:

 

[DarkChronic]

WTF?!

[The Lamonster]

Please decide where you’d like to get your iPhone, then sign in to complete your reservation.

Any recommendations for a data plan and what is apple care?

It's a bit like a rapist whispering 'I love you' in your ear while he does you.

 

[Deadly Joker]

WTF?!

[criesofthepast]

[LyleLanley]

yup but this is from the canada store. $649 + tax. says due by october 14th.

Damn, Why is it such a pain in the ass to buy an unlocked phone in America?

 

[Auron_Kale]

I had it in my cart - then there was an error.

bleh.

 

[TwIsTeD]

WTF?!

Stuck on this screen

[Leona Lewis]

WTF?!

Stuck on this screen

I can't get past that screen either. And when I tried on the Apple Store app, I can't get past checkout after adding the phone to the cart and choosing my data plan.

RAGEEEE

Now I am stuck on the next screen.

Mine popped up after about a minute. It just had a check box to get it shipped... I don't know whether it was searching for an Apple Store near my address to offer as a pick up (there isn't one) or if it's just defaulting to shipping for everyone.

 

[BLagiver]

Whats with everyone getting the 16 gb? You might as well go for the 32 Gb especially since the price of the phone isn't what matters but the price of the plan that occurs monthly.

32 GB black for 249.99 first smart phone ever!!

 

[Aske]

Ah. Finally done. Time to sleep. Happy pre-ordering, all!

 

[seat]

Got an error just as I was checking out...

Also, for those who got their orders through, did anyone see an option for Applecare+?

 

[iNvid02]

i added it to my basket but i cant start checkout, ffuuu

 

[sprsk]

Guys if you want REAL good wooden iphone cases, there's Mokudeji

http://www.gametech.co.jp/collaborate/mokudigi/w_iphone4.html (designed wood)

They also have iPad covers which are so nice.

 

[Particle Physicist]

did my wifes.. got a confirmation for my wife.. and now it wont let me get mine.

 

[MetatronM]

Fucking AT&T is incompetent and has their business account login page completely down. My account is one that Apple can't access directly, and thus can't give me my upgrade. I can ONLY get my upgrade through AT&T, which blows.

 

[RedNumberFive]

So it looks like AT&T is no longer grandfathering the unlimited data plan.

 

[Blackhead]

No AppleCare+ online?

 

[Harry Potter]

FUCK MY ASS

 

[Cheesemeister]

Pre-order is in, as my last contract has expired and I get the 16GB unit for free with a 24-month contract. Of course, my Softbank store had to wait until 4 to even start talking to customers, so by the time they got to the computer, the system was all clogged up. They had to resort to paper reservations.

:roll

 

[IronFistedChampion]

DAMN IT I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE UNLIMITED DATA PLAN OR NOT RIGHT NOW!!!!

 

[ToD_]

And somehow between my retries I changed my mind to white...

 

[TwIsTeD]

So it looks like AT&T is no longer grandfathering the unlimited data plan.

did you order from AT&T or Apple?

 

[criesofthepast]

Damn, Why is it such a pain in the ass to buy an unlocked phone in America?

I don't even think you could buy the phone on contract through the Canadian Apple site. They were only selling unlocked phones tonight.

 

[Particle Physicist]

Okay, has anyone actually paid through Apple's website? Or did they just do that reservation thing?

 

[thechristoph]

God, this is so frustrating. Why on earth is it so difficult to give them money?

 

[Auron_Kale]

Okay securemetrics.apple.com - F U right now...

Same with buyiphone.apple.com.

STOP LOADING!

EDIT: Nevermind...

 

[Harry Potter]

Can anyone else get pass the screen where you select your data usage? Page wont load after i click unlimited.
