No, the iPad Nano (i.e. iPhone 5).

Thank you AT&T for once again fucking up my iPhone pre-order experience because your servers can't handle the volume 2 minutes after Apple opened up the gates late at night. I'm sure it will be much better during normal daytime hours. No!

I saw that episode of Southpark a few days ago where Cartman freezes himself to avoid having to wait for the new Nintendo - which he has to have imediately!

Seems somehow familiar.

But to be fair some of those Samsumg connectors are for its pneumatic drills & kango hammers.

Being a massive fanboy has its privileges. Here’s a just a couple.

I was able to complete my iPhone order 5 hours after I started it because AT&T’s servers were fucked. :D

As a result I won’t be getting my iPhone on the day of release but instead it will be shipped in 2 weeks. :D

If it does ship in exactly 2 weeks and it takes more than 3 days to arrive nobody will be available to sign for it on the 3 delivery attempts because we will all be out of town. :D

For what I assume is security reasons you can’t change the shipping address. It has to be the address your AT&T bill is tied to. :D

I got charged tax based on the full unlocked price (an extra $30) instead of the subsidized contract price. :D

My monthly bill looks like it will be an extra $20 because it made me pick between a per text charge or a $20 unlimited text plan. My error for thinking my existing plan would just carry over. :D

But I am now part of the ELITE 8 million WINNERS expected to order a new iPhone in the first week. The steaming load Apple just shot into the back of my mouth is extra salty. :D

Why not just buy from the Apple site? I didn't stay up with the intention of buying a new phone, but when I realized it was midnight, I jumped on Apple site and had the process complete in like 45 seconds. ATT customer here too.

I did use the Apple site.

I knew somebody would chime in with "no problems here". :x

But I'm glad it was you, if it had to be somebody. :P

I never have any of the troubles other people do with this stuff, while my wife gets all of them it seems. Just lucky I guess. Looks like if you didn't order in the first hour, you now have to wait two weeks for delivery. Glad I bought asap, since I pre-sold my iPhone4!

congratulations beats! :D or should i say: sorry beats :cry: ? i can't tell. it seems that having the same phone as 8 million people is more awesome if you and a million of them have it first.

i just got a call from Tarekith, he says: i'm getting mine on the first day
i was like: no way
and he was like: yeah
and i was like: whoa
and he was like: poor beats me

it was so cool, and a bummer.

It always seems to be the people who couldn't care less who happen to be in the right place at the right time who have no issues.

The :D of the new iPhone delivery was supposed to offset the :x of dropping $1,500 on getting my car repaired yesterday. Now I'm more annoyed about the iPhone transaction than the $1,500. :x
