Also the black iPhone 4/4S is thinner than the white. You want to have the thinnest iPhone possible.

I thought that had been debunked?

Steve Wozniak is actually waiting in line for the thing? Damn, he seems like such an awesome guy.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

So how can I tell UPS to not require a sig? Or, failing that, can I stick a piece of paper in my door and have the driver get a sig from my neighbor?

That's what I'll be doing (UK here though).

The Hundreds is releasing this new case/thing tomorrow to coincide with the 4S release.

I'm gonna try to get one to compliment my Incipio Feather. Will be available at their stores in LA/SF/NY and online shop.

 

[Cheesemeister]

On my way to Softbank now. They have to hand it over in 12 minutes.

Japan is doing in-store pickups? Nice!

Any word on whether Siri is even on the Japanese models?

I'm not sure if it was but my post was a joke post anyways. Anyone who wants white most likely would not care.

Do they do a case that will hold my keys as well?

I'm assuming it'll be on there in English.

He waits in line for every major Apple product. It's actually easy to meet him because of knowing where he'll be.

Don't forget to put your GAF Gold account pw in there!

 

[Cheesemeister]

The store's opening for pre-orderers, and I'm the first of three lined up. Piece of cake.

So if I'm activating my new phone and porting a number from AT&T to Verizon tomorrow is it a pretty simple process? I ordered the phone through the Apple site and inputted the number I wanted to carry over. But I've never done a number transfer like this before, is it a fairly automatic process?

It's pretty straight forward. It might take some time for your phone to update to the new number, and if it doesn't seem to be updating, try a hard reset, but other than that, it's pretty smooth.

 

[omgkitty]

Just had something weird happen. I had $300 charged to my account last week, and even though I was annoyed by it, it wasn't that big of a deal. Well now it's disappeared off my account. Kind of strange considering it shipped 2 days ago. Anyone else have this happen?

That was proven wrong plus it's the iPhone 4 not the 4S

 

[Trojita]

I can't find the perfect case for my White iPhone 4S, so naked it is!

 

[Gary Whitta]

Seems like the 4S will be opposite of the 4; with most people opting for white black becomes the choice of the non-conformist thought leaders! Black is the new white! #thinkdifferent

 

[MiniKelly]

My apple.com order has arrived in new hamshire. Cant wait till tomorrow.

Come on Gary, you want it in white. You know you do.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Come on Gary, you want it in white. You know you do.

I'm actually kinda committed to black at this point as the gf is definitely going white and since neither of us like using cases the phones are just going to get mixed up if they're both the same color. This way we are a two-color household, all bases covered! I'll get the 5 in whatever wacky optional color they decide to do.

(still not looking forward to all the sexy white phone photos that will be flooding this thread in the next 24 hours)

 

[KHarvey16]

I'm gonna bet you won't regret black in the long run. Also...phone arrived in Windsor Locks, CT! Tomorrow will be a good day.

 

[woober]

I think I'm going with this case for the white iPhone:

Anyone have other suggestions that are similar to this or have this case?

 

[Gary Whitta]

Well, that's one way to make me feel better about not getting the white.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I still haven't seen a case that doesn't ruin the beautiful look of the iPhone. The bumpers look the least offensive, but I still can't get on board with them.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Grass is always greener? I like the white and gave it thought but I think in the long run I will be a lot happier with the black.

Good idea on the diff color'd phones... Wouldnt want her spying on your text msgs and stuff heh

I think the incase snap, or something similar, is about all I could see myself using.

Well, that or I was planning on this one (Atomic Hybrid which is $60 and would rather not spend):

 

[bbagwell]

My switcheasy duo arrived this afternoon and it is freaking awesome. Best $18 I've spent in a while. Think naked, with an awesome trenchcoat.

 

[amrod]

According to macrumors Woz is on line at the apple store in los gatos on his segway. He is also the only person online. I wonder if he checked in on four square.

Not my pic

 

[Kermit The Dog]

Just got my white 64gb iPhone! Rolled up at 7:45 Australia time, doors opened at 8 and I was 6th in line. Was out by 9am. Easy!

So far the phone's marvellous. Siri is fantastic, and I love her Australian accent.

More impressions soon.

 

[KHarvey16]

Both my phone and my coworker's phone will show up at the same time tomorrow. I want to see if we can get Siri to talk to herself.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Well, that's one way to make me feel better about not getting the white.

Black one is better because the proximity sensor isn't visible. Also, the white one looks a lot better in pictures than it does in person. Plus, your focus will be on the screen (after the first week or so when the new 4S smell wears off). Tell me which one is more distracting in that regard (answer: the white).

Compare:

It ain't even no contest, Mr. Whitta.

 

[woober]

I've had a black iPhone 3gs and a black iPhone 4, so a white 4S was a no brainer to me. I got tired of black.

 

[sprsk]

I hear the lines in Tokyo are pretty crazy.

 

[Gary Whitta]

<3 Woz so much.

 

[duracell017]

phone has arrived in ca. woohoo!

 

[Cheesemeister]

Well, leave it to Softbank to not have the server load capacity to deal with it. Had to do the contract by paper and fax, leaving me waiting for the data entry people to process it.

This could take another hour or more.

Sounds a lot like my experience with the first iPhone, where I thought I was being smart by going to an AT&T store instead of Apple. Never again.

I am half-tempted to drive the fuck out to Los Gatos and get my picture taken with Woz.

With Siri integration, I think I am finally going to give up on my Google Voice number. I've used it exclusively for the last 2+ years, and while I love having voice mail transcribed and sent to email and text messages sent through email, I think I am done with it. I really want integration with Siri, and since Siri can't read email, I can't reply to text messages verbally. Also, I can't do voice dialing, and I can't get the hacks to do voice dialing (GV#,2,NUMBERCALLING#) to ever work.

But, if I get rid of Google Voice, it will be the last google service I use, outside of search. I have my own email domain now.

Does anyone else think this is a smart decision? Anyone else use Google Voice and an iPhone?

Edit: I should also add that I don't text very often, or at least I don't text to non-iPhone users or people outside of my business plan very often, so the allure of free texting is meaningless.

 

[JackEtc]

I still have to find a case. I want a minimalist case like the Incase Snap or Incipio Feather or SwitchEasy Nude or any other good one like that, but I can't decide which one is best.

I want something that will 100% have no camera flash problems, and some "lay flat on table" protection if possible.

Help?

Incase Snap Smoke. Has a very subtle matte surface that feels great in the hand and will help it from slipping out of your hand. Definitely no camera problems.

The Snap was my original pick, but I'm really having a hard time with it being $35. Is it worth it?

I'm assuming you have one. Any lay down on screen protection?

Sprint allows the best of both worlds, as you can link Google Voice to work automatically with your sprint number

http://www.google.com/googlevoice/sprint/#
(Option 1)

No need to dial all the GV crap, and you can get your texts sent right to your phone like normal

I'm the head of a business account and I can't move everyone's phone to Sprint. This isn't an option for me.

$20 on ebay. Make sure to get the updated ones that was redesigned for Verizon/4S.

 

[RaidenZR]

My Sprint tracking declares it is in the nearest big-city neighbor now. So cloooooseeeee.... All I have to hope for now is that the UPS truck rolls into my apartment complex tomorrow at a decent hour (before the office that signs for packages decides to close). Otherwise I get screwed.
