I've always gotten black as well. I'll probably get the 32G, I guess thats the middle size? I don't need tons of space. I dont keep my music library on it, just certain playlists & once I listen to podcasts, I delete them. It's mostly my picture storage device, and once that gets close to full, I make sure to transfer it over. I'm ordering one next week. Switching to Sprint, so I can keep unlimited everything. AT&T has been slowing down my service (DONT GET ME STARTED) since I'm one of the ones grandfathered into their unlimited everything from 2007-8 I think? |

I assumed the slowness of my phone was the fact that I dropped it into a mop bucket a few months ago.... |

I haven't been around many wifi areas or places I have internet service (work, etc). So I was using my phone. I don't stream videos, just regular internet. Saying it made me mad was an understatement. I'm also switching out of anger. I don't want to give them my business anymore, if this is what happens when I've been a customer since 2003. |

My biggest decision is what color and what size. I'll admit I'm a fan of the black...never understood having the white one. I prefer to add color via case. And I always get the largest one. :D I can understand that. I love the white and aluminum. It matches my MacBook and my MacBook Pro. I managed to order this morning from Verizon's site for delivery next Friday. The Apple Store was a bit overloaded this morning so I gave up going through them. |

Resident Curmudgeon 25290 The Road Back Gold member | Subject: RE: I want one! I'm hearing that orders are booming, that initial stock from Apple for release day delivery sold out in less than an hour. If you haven't yet ordered delivery will be "in two weeks" rather than the initial 9/21/12 delivery. |

If you haven't yet ordered delivery will be "in two weeks" rather than the initial 9/21/12 delivery. I'm trying to figure out what they mean by "wait two weeks". Wait two weeks from the 21st? Or two weeks from when you order? I haven't ordered yet because I want to like to the Apple Store through Discover to get the 5% cash back bonus, but that method was blocked by the government server for some reason. So I was going to wait until I got home to place the order...but I NEED to know when it will ship. Because I don't want Fed Ex to attempt delivery while I'm gone for two weeks for Kona....all that will happen is they will end up sending it back to Apple which doesn't help me! Edit: I mean, I can hold out until after Hawaii if I HAVE to, but I really wanted the updated camera/speed for the trip! I guess I'll just go online tonight and see what I can get....

Master 2538 Albuquerque | Subject: RE: I want one! Ordered mine this morning through Verizon. Not worried about the "new" plan, all of the calculators say I'll actually pay a little less per month overall for our two smartphones. I HOPE Verizon will have all of their allocation still available like they say and mine will arrive next Friday. But we'll see. |

Champion 8766 Evergreen, Colorado | Subject: RE: I want one! Well, I gambled and ordered one. The apple store said "2-3 weeks" and 5 business days of shipping. If it's on the long end of that I won't get it before I leave. If it's on the short end I will. Crossing fingers.... |

I'm trying to coordinate the new phone with transferring service on to my aunt's family plan so I have to wait until then to do it. Hoping for soon but not sure. |

We are grandfathered into the unlimited data plan (since we bought our iPhones in 2007ish). Are we going to LOSE our unlimited data plan if we upgrade? I stream Pandora CONSTANTLY while at work. It helps my kids stay calmer in the classroom, so it's a HUGE bonus to have the unlimited data. Am I going to lose that? -Joel |

what service? But yes, you will with Verizon unless you buy at full retail. But do you not have wifi you can stream it from? |

If you ONLY use your UPGRADE credit, approx $150 (if they still do this), you can get the phone without signing a new contract. Considering you have a 3GS, I'm going to assume you have had your contract over 18months. They want to keep you, so they give you a 'credit'. You can also pay full retail with AT&T or Apple store and you won't change your existing contract. I need a new phone, my iPhone 4 is broken (I'm terrible with these things). I'm strongly considering moving to Sprint since I've had horrible service with AT&T and don't want to give them my money anymore. Sprint is still offering unlimited everything! |

Good to know. At the prices I could buy a couple of each of the items I would want to replace for the same price at the Apple store. Then if one goes out I've got a back up. |

I'm actually thinking this might be a good time for me to get a 4S. I currently have an older android pre-paid phone, and would like to get on a better network - the kids are ready for phones now too, so it's probably time for us to move to a family/shared plan... Now I just need to decide which network to go with... |
