apple's in-store priority list

Went to the Apple Store Fifth Ave to verify the 2-5 day wait the employee told me on Friday after reading these posts and the guy there got really wide eyes and said "I don't know why they would have told you that. The wait is more like two to five WEEKS. I mean... maybe under two weeks... but I wouldn't bet on it."

So... that's good to know... Ugh.

I am so happy it finally arrived.

Legacy Place - Dedham MA
Went on the priority list on 7/16
No word since, still waiting.

are people recieving their free bumpers when they pick up their iphone 4?

No - we'll get them through Apple's website I believe starting tomorrow on the 22nd. They aren't free in stores.

Got my email This past Monday Morn at about 9 am!! I feel like I passed a stone.
It was worth the wait.

yeah, whoever is managing apple store on 5th ave in NYC has a great sense of humor. They clearly told their employees to tell people 2-5 days (or in my case, 3-7 days) and now their only response when I tell them that on the phone is, "I don't know why someone would have told you that, it's more like 2-3 weeks."

Last girl I questioned about it, her answer was simply, "He lied to you. He lied."

Thanks lady!!!

On my 16th day of waiting. Think I'm just gonna buy the 3GS because I can't deal much longer without a phone!!!!

I had thought of buying the 3GS as well, but what happened to the 3GS 16GB black and white on Apple's site?! I wanted to get one sim free!
So now I'm just gonna wait for the iP4 lol.

Go ahead and buy the 3GS so that you have a phone. Use the 30 day return period for your wait for the iP4. Once you are at the top on the priority list, take your 3GS back and exchange it for the iP4 and just pay the difference between the price of the 2 phones. Voilla

I just got an email from ATT that the i4 I ordered 7/12 is on it's way. FedEx says it will arrive b4 3PM tomorrow. So the good news for those still waiting is that I will now drop off the reserved list at the 2 nJ stores I signed up at.
I was wondering whether Apple would beat att and now I have my answer. Yay:)

Awesome.

I actually considered that, but apparently I will have invalidated a future upgrade. Perhaps I can scratch some backs 🙂
