The Apple Stroe App came online exactally at 3AM EST, which makes sense since Apple is on PST. I have been told some folks have gottennotification from Apple that their delivery dates have been moved up from a few weeks to the original 21st of September.

Then, when I tried about quarter till six on Friday morning, I was indeed given the two week time frame. And, well, grin, as I mentioned on another list, seeing as this meant I wasn't going to be able to get the phone delivered on the first day folks could receive them, I promptly put the money I had gotten out of my savings account back in there and decided to wait a bit longer. Out of curiosity, when I checked again Friday night, I was given a two to three week time for the phone to be shipped, and that is the same time frame I'm being given as I check now on this Sunday evening. Now, when I pre-ordered the iPhone 4S last year, I was able to do so on the Friday evening after I got home from work, and get it delivered on that first available day. I recall trying to order it that morning before I went to work, but I was kind of rushing and just wasn't quite doing everything correctly. ----- Original Message ----- From: Wayne Merritt <wcmerr...@gmail.com<mailto:wcmerr...@gmail.com> To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Date sent: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 22:45:54 -0500 Subject: Re: A Tip for A T & T Wireless Customers Who Are Thinking AboutUpgrading to iPhone 5 For what it's worth, I've seen several references on Twitter tonight that Apple sold out of the pre-orders for next week's phones within 60 minutes. I was able to pre-order mine over the phone with Apple several hours ago, and it should be sent out within 2-3 weeks. Though the wait is a little long, at least I'll be garanteed an iPhone 5, unlike the many people I have a feeling who will show up the day it is in stores and have to go back and forth to/from the store, or from store to store, in order to find one in stock. It will be hard to wait, but at least I can put iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 next week and start playing with things a little.

In fact, I think there was more negative reaction to the 4 and 4S among the people I know than the 5. I think that we really sometimes miss the point of these releases because we naturally look at the accessibility features over anything else. Take Care John D.

Somehow I knew I wouldn't be but I just wanted to confirm (Smile). Not that it matters as I have decided to purchase iPhone 5. I was amazed at the fact that the store was jam-packed with customers. While I no longer frequent the A T & T Wireless or Verizon Wireless stores as much as I used to, I visit enough to have been truly surprised. There was a waiting list to enter the store. I asked the receptionist why the store was so busy and she said it was because of all the people who are pre-ordering iPhone 5. It would appear that not everyone was underwhelmed by Apple's keynote presentation. After leaving the store, I decided to go over to the Verizon Wireless store and, it too, was jam-packed with people preordering. All I can say is that there appears to be something magical about the Apple-effect, as I have come to think of it. By the way, I decided not to wait at the A T & T wireless store. The receptionist reminded me that I can check to see if I am eligible for an upgrade by doing the following from my iPhone: 1. Open the Phone App. 2. Switch to the Dial Pad. 3. Dial *639# 4. Tap the Call button. By the way, 6 3 9 spells the word NEW. You will receive a text message stating your eligibility status.
