    I was successful in ordering a iP4S from the Sprint side at 12:45AM Pacific. The Sprint site was certainly challenged, but in the end it all worked. The Apple site was responsive at that time but you could only "upgrade" an existing phone line, and not "add" a new line to your account (I have a Sprint mobile hotspot, but not a phone). So I ended up purchasing thru Sprint.I'm not too happy about the GSM not working overseas. I'll be hoping for an Unlock whereby I can use the Sprint CDMA in the US, and a local GSM card abroad.

    its not the difference but people like me have made money out of there old phones ( I had a 3G phone and got $300 out of it) so for me buying the 4s is not about the difference of the 4g (which my wife has) but about a better phone which I like and has a great IOS. I'm not a fan boy that is the only apple thing I have and like. So spending 200 when I can sell it later for a better phone and get $400 its a deal breaker

    I ordered the iPhone 4s via Sprint's website at 5:45 a.m. EST with no problems. Once I logged onto to Sprint and clicked upgrade, it was smooth sailing from there. Let's hope the shipping is just as smooth!

    It can be pre ordered in Australia outright & unlocked for $799 but there are no carrier plans out as of yet as far as I can tell.And Australia's top carrier Telstra has opened a register for customers to be emailed when plans are out.

    Yeah good point this phones not good enough so we'll all wait... Oh you know what the iPhone 5 isn't good enough either so maybe wait for the iPhone 6... Oh no but the iPhone 7 maybe better still... Ok I know wat to do we'll just wait for the iPhone 11........

    Darlings, it's always the way apple do things. They can supply and give out as many iPhones as needed, but that wouldn't give the image of exclusivity. By saying "oh, we just can't cope with the huge demand" makes the item much more appealing and makes you want to try and get one since "everyone's buying them so fast". It's a tactic that's worked well for apple for years. Having said that, looking forward to buying my new 4s, just not falling for the ploy of "exclusivity".

    I just heard pre orders will not arrive on launch day So I checked my order status and even though I got through and ordered at midnight my order says "BACKORDERED" I called AT&T to complain right away that my order will not be back ordered they said they would get back to me. I will see
