I just ordered my 16gb Black iPhone 3GS + Incase protective case on this past Sunday (6/28). Im just wondering approximately how long it is taking for everyone else's phone to arrive so that I have a rough estimate of when to expect mine...im just really anxious for it lol
I'd like to know this as well, if they EVER begin shipping to Hong Kong. I would love to get a 3GS 32gig if I could get one before I leave in a week but it looks like they will lose a sale. I refuse to buy AT&T. Why? Because I travel a lot and don't want to be tethered to AT&T's outrageous charges. Why have GSM if you are stuck with one provider? Please Apple, start shipping here via Apple Store and please, sell a phone in the US (home) that business people can use. Guess I'll stick with the itouch and a cheap GSM phone. It's Independence Day, think about offering unlocked phones in the US for people like me .....
And yes, I know about jail breaking. Just not worth the trouble. C'mon Apple, lend American business a hand. We could use it right now.
Ordered mine from Apple on 6/26. Still no email update, but just checked my order 7/3 and it now shows "prepared for shipment" instead of "not shipped"
Ordered mine online from Apple because nearest Apple store is over 2 hour drive. Had a big falling out with my local ATT store manager on launch day when their computer system crashed, waited at the register for 2 hours with the new 3gs in my hand, and they wouldn't let me activate at home.
Wow I guess I should have ordered my from AT&T. Who would have guessed that AT&T ships out faster than Apple, but yet the AT&T stores themselve have way less stock than Apple....doesnt make much sense to me but ok
delivery all depends on your location. I live in altanta. I ordered the 3GS on a saturday (after the friday release) and the phone came in on the wednesday after. The manufacture usually ships the phone in 2-3 days but it is the delivery that is what takes longer. My phone was shipped fedex standard overnight.
I ordered mine (16gb black) 8pm (EST) on Sunday and mine also is not shipped.
I wouldn't be surprised if today is not considered a business day since many companies are having 4th of July holiday today. So probably only 4 business days so hopefully it will ship between Monday and Wednesday next week :-/
Update.....ordered mine on 6/30, delivered to store today 7/3 and have phone in hand right now restored and synced. I was surprised that it was delivered so fast, but I'm not complaining.
