There’s an ongoing mad iPhone pre order rush, and both Apple and AT&T are up to their necks in shit dealing with fanboys scrambling to get their hands on iPhone 4 barely a week before the gadget’s release on June 24.
Customers can now make their iPhone pre order for the new iPhone 4 on the Apple and AT&T websites. However, as of this writing, only the black iPhone 4, not the white version, will be available for delivery or pick-up on the said release date.
One Apple reseller who experienced difficulty pre-ordering the iPhone 4 blames AT&T for underestimating demand.
“AT&T was not well-prepared for this launch, as evidenced by massive overloads of their servers, and that was just the beginning,” said Simeon Tauber, principal at Simply Macintosh, an Arcata, Calif.-based Apple reseller that has experience selling cell phones. “When I was finally able to prove who I was and actually order my 4G phone, there was no mention of iPhones on their site.
Added Tauber: “It must have cost them a fortune to handle all of the customer service calls, which could have been avoided if their phone system didn’t drop calls after having you hold for 10 to 15 minutes.”
Enterprising individuals are also flooding eBay and Craisglist to pander to the iPhone pre order rush, but caution is advised to those who might buy into such deals.
