iPhone 4 Reservation Confirmation.

If you’re early enough beating the AT&T meltdown, you might already have a confirmation for the iPhone 4 pre-order. I really want the White iPhone 4, but for now I reserved one at the Apple Store. After numerous tries, I succesfully reserved a 32GB Black iPhone 4. For some reasons, whenever I tried reserving the 16GB version, it kept failing.

UPDATE:
Apple has just disabled iPhone 4 Reservation through Apple Store App, citing high demand.

You might have easier time reserving iPhone 4 using Apple Store App for the iPhone.

The Process of Pre-Ordering iPhone 4.

http://buyiphone.apple.com/

Here we go again, another “land-grab” with iPhone 4 pre-order.

Apple Store Online is back and you can start the pre-order process.

What? The iPhone 4 White is not available for pre-order?

OK, I’ll take iPhone 4 Black 32GB. I want to replace my current iPhone.

OK, so you need my wireless number, billing Zip Code and the last four digits of my Social Security Number.

Now I wait…….

…and I’m still waiting.

Then I got this: “Your request cannot be processed.”

So I tried to reserve it.

OK, now what?

$699.00???????

Whatever…….

So I tried pre-ordering iPhone 4 Black 16GB.

That’s more like it.
