iPhone pre-orders slam Verizon Wireless website

There are nice information about fashion trends, i found many new things and tips in this blog.

@Jorn - Yeah, I am not sure if your cow analogy really applies here. Airlines offer benefits when you fly miles with them. You get status and so on. Even supermarkets give rewards points. There are surely other examples of loyalty rewards. I've had my phone number since it was Bell Atlantic, then Verizon bought them and I never left. Any person walking off the street tomorrow can get an iPhone from Verizon for $199. If I left tomorrow for AT&T I can get one for $199 I'm sure. But Verizon is nice enough to let me buy it for $399, only if I send back my blackberry (which they will resell) or $599 otherwise. They are so big they really don't give a sh**. How can you blame them? Still seems very lame.

I just don't understand why anyone is getting this phone when the iPhone 5 is coming out in a few months.

I'm astonished by how I'll prepared VZW is despite the ridiculous amount hype surrounding the release of a 6 month old phone (Unfair? Perhaps.)

How is it that consumers fall for this over and over again? Anyone remember 2007, when it took 3 days to get our shiny new iPhones onto AT&T's network? Here we are 3 years later, and virtually nothing has changed.

Folks, these telecoms are playing you year after year. I wonder how many VZW iPhone customers will be back here complaining when the CDMA iPhone 5 is launched right along side the AT&T version in 4 short months?

There's a reason why Apple spends MILLIONS keeping their unannounced products secret. It's all about preventing us from making informed decisions on what and when we buy.

Sorry about the rant, but these annual iPhone hype-nouncements are getting so old. And sadly, we're entirely to blame for our Pavlovian drooling each time Apple rings the bell.

I added a line and purchased for 199 at 11:30am CT. Don't ask me how I did it. lol :)

All these people are gonna be so sad when the iPhone 5 ships in July....

I ordered my iPhones at 2 a.m. CST this morning, and now the Verizon site says my phones have been shipped!

I placed my order at 8AM this mormning with no problems.

"it appears as it things went south around 5 a.m. this morning."

As opposed to 5 a.m. this evening?

I love it. All you D-bags touting how much better Verizon is? Strike one. All those reports from people online who've tested the phone on Verizon's network and said it's great? There are about 4 and a half people right now using the phones on their network. How can you really test it without having everyone else on as well to see if the network still holds up?
