OK, not awful. Both orders in and confirmed for 9/19 via the Apple Store app at 12:37 PDT. Mobile apps 1, Web 0.

Bummer, only one iPhone per order.

So the Apple Store app does seem to be the secret. Web store still not up yet.

OK, one phone in the shopping cart. Can we make it to 2?

Or at least it was working until I started getting server retry messages.

Apple Store app now up and working here.

Are we having fun yet?

I felt a grave disturbance in the Force. It was like the sound of millions of customers refreshing and gnashing their teeth all at once

PSA: it’s 315 am EDT/1215 am PDT. Do you know where your phone order is?

PSA: friends don’t let friends order phones drunk. No one likes waking up in the morning with a phone you don’t even know the name of.
