Trouble Finding an iPhone 3G S?
Posted by admin in ipod news
pI spent all day yesterday trying to buy a new a href=http://www.ipodworld.us title=iphoneiPhone/a 3G S, with no luck. Yes, the Apple Store had them in stock, but they don#8217;t let you buy an a href=http://www.ipodworld.us title=iphoneiPhone/a unless the AT#038;T account holder is present. My dad is the account holder for our Family Plan, but he is over 300 miles away. /ppWhen I was in Miami, the Apple Store staffers told me I could buy an a href=http://www.ipodworld.us title=iphoneiPhone/a 3G S at the AT#038;T store without the account holder present, but no AT#038;T stores in Florida currently have them in stock, including stores in Miami, Orlando, Ocala and Gainesville./ppI spent over an hour calling AT#038;T stores throughout the state. Why don#8217;t AT#038;T employees have the capability to tell me if there is an a href=http://www.ipodworld.us title=iphoneiPhone/a in stock at a particular store???/ppI called an Apple Store in Orlando and asked how I could buy the a href=http://www.ipodworld.us title=iphoneiPhone/a 3G S without the AT#038;T account holder present, and an employee told me the only thing I could do was sign up for a new contract with AT#038;T#8230; um, no thanks./pp#8220;No problem,#8221; I thought. #8220;I#8217;ll order one online.#8221;/ppSo I went through the checkout process on Apple.com, hesitating before clicking Complete and spending $543.36, including an extra $10 for 2-3 day shipping #8212; that is, after selling my 3G a href=http://www.ipodworld.us title=iphoneiPhone/a on eBay for $315. /ppI finally placed the order and received an email confirmation that said my a href=http://www.ipodworld.us title=iphoneiPhone/a should arrive between July 9 and July 13, twelve to sixteen days from yesterday. I#8217;m not willing to wait that long./ppSo I canceled my order, called my dad in Miami and asked him to pick one up for me and ship it up to Gainesville. Hopefully I#8217;ll have it in a few days./ppI think it#8217;s silly that I can buy an a href=http://www.ipodworld.us title=iphoneiPhone/a 3G S on Apple.com without a problem, but if you go to a physical Apple Store, they won#8217;t sell it to you without the account holder by your side./ppHas anyone else had trouble getting their hands on an a href=http://www.ipodworld.us title=iphoneiPhone/a 3G S? I#8217;d love to hear about your experience in the comments./pdiv class=feedflarea href=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AppleiPhoneReview?a=1JhqcEmKnMM:f47YgyovInI:yIl2AUoC8zA rel=nofollowimg src=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AppleiPhoneReview?d=yIl2AUoC8zA border=0 //img/a a href=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AppleiPhoneReview?a=1JhqcEmKnMM:f47YgyovInI:D7DqB2pKExk rel=nofollowimg src=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AppleiPhoneReview?i=1JhqcEmKnMM:f47YgyovInI:D7DqB2pKExk border=0 //img/a a href=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AppleiPhoneReview?a=1JhqcEmKnMM:f47YgyovInI:qj6IDK7rITs rel=nofollowimg src=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AppleiPhoneReview?d=qj6IDK7rITs border=0 //img/a a href=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AppleiPhoneReview?a=1JhqcEmKnMM:f47YgyovInI:V_sGLiPBpWU rel=nofollowimg src=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AppleiPhoneReview?i=1JhqcEmKnMM:f47YgyovInI:V_sGLiPBpWU border=0 //img/a/divimg src=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AppleiPhoneReview/~4/1JhqcEmKnMM height=1 width=1 /
