AT&T has confirmed that online pre-orders of the iPhone 4 have chewed through its entire planned inventory of the iPhone 4 for the June 24 launch day. In a statement, AT&T said, "Because of the incredible interest in iPhone 4, today was the busiest online sales day in AT&T history. As of Tuesday afternoon, customers who pre-order iPhone 4 moving forward will receive their device on June 25 or later, depending on when the order is placed. We'll email customers with confirmation once their order is placed, and again when it ships. In addition, we will have devices available on a first-come, first-serve basis in our stores beginning on June 24." AT&T reiterated that there will be some unallocated iPhones on hand that users may be able to get on launch day. Both AT&T and Apple's online ordering systems suffered from overload today as people attempted to pre-order the iPhone 4.

Not unusual for a phone to be sold out on the release date.

I called radioshack and the visited a few sprint stores today and they all told me they are out of stock of the htc EVO, I heard about the lines outside of retailers for the phone on the release day, but the iphone selling out makes front page news? sheesh.
Let's see Sprint sell enough Evos to crash its upgrade servers. Then we'll talk. 🤣
...
and Jobs invented the word
The iphone sold out 600,000 in less than a day without anyone even being able to get their hands on one. Plus there are probably just as many people that couldn't get through to pre order one.

How many EVOs sold all together so far?

iPhone question

To the many voices of phone scoop... I hope someone can answer this question.

I have a 3GS and I am not yet elegible to upgrade. My wife has the 2G and is elegible.

I want to use the new iPhone 4 when it arrives and she would be thilled with my 3GS. Can I easily re-assign my 3GS to her profile and sync the iPhone 4 so I can use it? Is this a pretty simple process? No swapping of sim cards... since they are different.

Thanks again to all for any assistance / insight offered.
We do upgrades for phones used on different lines all the time. Just call cust. care to have the appropriate numbers typed in to the computer.

iphone admiration

I'm probably never going to own one of these things now. I AM impressed at the fact that NOTHING stops Apple from selling these things. NOT AT&T's network deficiencies. NOT AT&T's data plan changes and NOT iphone haters constant ridicule of iphone owners as sheep. The thing just keeps on selling like hot cakes. Unbelievable!

It just shows that investment in an outstanding marketing department can do as much for business success as an engineering department.
...
AT&T's "Network Deficiencies" are mostly a load of bull crap. Outside of NYC and SF I've never experienced truly terrible AT&T service in a major city, and especially in the Southern cities I've had far more problems with CDMA-based carriers.

AT&T Really does Suck

AT&T is the worst for pre orders:
I went in late here at the local store in Arizona and they told me that because I have 2 lines both iPhones I can only upgrade 1 of them and if I wanted to upgrade the 2nd someone else would have to come in...WTF!!!
There under my NAME no one else's. Than they preceded to tell me that they can not take debit cards that it has to be an actual credit card. POS...of course they started to give me this lame excuse about how other people have tried selling the phones and how credit card debited the account and than reauthorized once its actually shipped; and that some people have taken the money out of there accounts only to have the charge declined...as I said to the clerk...do I look like everyone else? Of co...

Last year people complained because of the debit transactions where some banks actually held the funds the day of. With credit the funds arent held. The credit card is checked for enough funds then on the day its shipped the card will be ran again a...

We made some people mad today.

Today it's been one call after another about the website being bogged down. We've been telling people to try again tomorrow once traffic dies down some.


Oops 😁
I never once said tomorrow i told them to just keep trying first come first serve as we were instructed to via MyCSP.

HTC Incredible
Droid (or Droid 2)
Mytouch slide
Aria (sorry att.. I feels bad for you)

In addition to the Devour, Eris, Ally, H...

Clearly Apple people are just sheep

That or the people who call them that are 🤣

Or the iPhone is a dying platform

Or nobody cares about the iPhone anymore.

OR everyone is just so eager to leave AT&T



Please point such individuals to this post. 🤣

Unbelievable but not Surprising!

Good for Apple.
Good for Apple but yet your gravatar is pissing on Apple 😕

This isn't surprising, a lot of high-end/high demand smartphones have been selling out fast. First it was the HD2, then the Incredible, then the Evo 4G, and now the Iphone 4.

Likely Ju...
