You call your local Apple store, and ask them to put you on the "Reservation list" for the iPhone 4, and once they get to you on the list, they will send you an e-mail notifying you that your iPhone 4 is ready to pick up. However, you have 24 hours within receiving that e-mail to go and pick it up, otherwise it's gunna go to someone else! Also, you don't pay a dime until you pick it up 🙂 So reservation list is free!

I just got off the phone with the Knoxville, TN Apple Store. The Apple Store employee provided the following information.

-The Knoxville store is absolutely not selling any iPhone 4s to anyone who is not the priority list.
-Folks are waiting two-to-three weeks from the day that they were originally put on the list to get their iPhones.
-The employee was not aware of the "your moving up the list" email. The person said that this second email could be something that Apple was doing that he/she was just simply not aware of it.

I was put on the priority list on Monday and never received a confirmation email, I called the store Tuesday and asked about the email and the associate said there was no confirmation email. But she said she would check my status and I wasn't on the list! She added me and after that I went into the store to check that I REALLY WAS on the list this time and I was. I'm just a little confused why nearly everyone posting here got a confirmation email but I never did.

Is there anyone else that didn't receive a confirmation email?

Hey it's nice to see someone else who is familiar with woodfield mall. I used to live right down the street and loved that mall. Anyway, I am in dallas now and I went to my apple store in frisco to be on the priority list and I haven't received the second email from them but what I did two nights ago was I walked into a best buy store just to look around and I asked one of the phone reps if they had any iphones and she said yeah and I purchased my 32 gb iphone that day. Although I am still on the priority list, I have my iphone. I would suggest going to third party stores.
