AT&T Online Pre-Ordering...Any Updates?

It probably updates your picture after you activate your phone.

Yeah I tried to order though Apple but it kept saying I would have to pay $599 and there was no way in hell I was going to pay that. When I went through the AT&T site it said it would cost me $399 so I decided to go though them. It sucks because I ordered one on the 9th and one on the 10th and both still just say "In Process" Honestly, AT&T is a pain in the ass. As soon as the exclusive is up I'm taking my iPhone and going to Verizon.

That's a nice thought but you'd never be able to just take your iPhone to Verizon. They use two completely different network technologies. Apple would have to release a new iPhone compatible with CDMA technology, which means you'd have to buy another iPhone. Assuming that's within the next 2 years you'd be paying the cancellation fee to AT&T and the price of the new phone. But hey...it's your money (and I'm actually paying a cancellation fee with Verizon).

I was talking about when the exclusive agreement ends which should be a little over two years if all goes the way it is setup to. Based on how much AT&T sucks (especially when my first iPhone broke) I'd probably be willing to pay to go to Verizon and pay for a new iPhone if they had one. Just my thoughts though. I really just wish AT&T would have my phone ready to ship though. Oh well. Here's to wishful thinking.

At what point does the photo of your phone in your ATT account update? I was thinking ATT would do this as soon as I ordered it as they have done in the past.

PS - This is my first post and I'm glad to be an official and no longer just a viewer.

I also ordered two iphones through ATT on the 11th. I have received tracking numbers for both phones (currently they are in Dallas, TX) and they are scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Given the fact you also ordered on the 11th, I'm surprised your status has not been updated.

[ahayman]

Alot of hit and miss through at&t orders with status updates - apple.com orders prior to 6/10 appeared to have all shipped - I have recieved 8 emails from apple - some saying overnight fee will be credited, etc. I am guessin at&t put all a hault to ups order updates, due to the mass confusion with early delivery dates, etc
