Hurry UP iPhone 5

Seriously hurry up. My current phone starts randomly shutting off when it drops below 80% charge! Sometimes it gets stuck and I have to turn it on 10 times before it stays on, the camera works when it feels like it and the GPS is starting to lose track of me! It also randomly freezes and sometimes sits there frozen and unresponsive for 10 minutes and sometimes I flat out shuts off.

Child moment over. Carry on :)

Do you have an iPhone right now? Those problems sound crazy!

I'm nervous for the 5. I'm an Apple geek and have the 4S and I've heard they're possibly bringing new features to the 5 that won't keep it compatible with the hardware of older models. We'll see! I'm excited too though haha

I had a 3G for a couple of years and loved it, got me hooked obviously! It's so fun opening the box to a brand new shiny iPhone! Even better when it's upgrade time! I don't get to upgrade until next year unfortunately, loving Siri though so I'm ok.

We got one white and one black too!

It's just a pre-order. The phones aren't actually out yet. I think the phones are "available" September 21, but I think that if they're available to stores the preorders will be available as well. Wouldn't make sense otherwise except that a preorder guarantees you a phone.

They definitely did not sell out in the first hour - at least not at my AT&T. I waited until after work to go to the store and put in the preorder because I wanted to keep our current plan (we have the old unlimited data plan)

You're right AT&T did not sell out technically, demand was higher then Apple expected. Pre-order just allows you to buy a phone and not wait in line but instead wait at home. Apple ran out of phones in that they cannot make enough fast enough to ship all preorders and ensure they get to people in a week. This means that those who've preordered after the first hour (as stated in this article and others) will have phones shipped in 2 weeks in many cases. Glad you got lucky, others are stuck waiting.

Like you said, if it's available to stores it should probably go to people who preordered first, I bet though that each AT&T store is guaranteed a certain number of phones to hand out on the 21st and somehow got priority.

When I got my iPhone 4S, it was the most exciting thing to happen to me that month! Ive now had it since January now and I take SOOOO much care of it because of how much money we have actaully spent on it! Its my baby and my most prized posession after my horses of course ;) It took alot of reasoning with mum to get (im only 16 so can't get one myself on a plan) and since getting mine she now has one as well! Opening it from the box was so exciting haha! I won't throw the box out because it looks cool ;)

I don't think I want the iPhone 5. Personally I don't like the look of them!
