I did successfully preorder an iPhone 4, but the system wouldn't let me have a different shipping address from my billing address. That sucks because I'm in Iraq and my billing address is in Pennsylvania. WTF?!?
So, I called and asked them to change the shipping address, but they said they couldn't. I told them to cancel the order. Then, I tried to order it from the Apple store,....same deal.
Now I see that any pre-orders (after Tuesday) have an estimated ship date of July 14th. I'm heading home the following week, so there's no way I'd get it in time.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to get one in store by the time I get home (end of July).
BTW, I have a 64g 3G iPad and L-O-V-E I-T!!!!!

Damn, you were lucky to have gotten a preorder in! I wouldn't have cancelled... I could not ONCE complete a preorder. FINALLY it offered me the reservation deal so I took it. Kept trying to order, but finally gave up... By end of July you shouldn't have a problem getting one. Things should calm down by then...
I've never played with an iPad. I suspect I will this Thursday on the 24th when I go to pickup my iPhone.

It was a gamble. They would've sent it to my home in Philly. The Post Office would've intercepted it and sent it to my folks down in Florida (my mail is forwarded there). After a week in the USPS pipeline, my folks would have to mail it to me in Iraq, which means it then has to go into the APO system which could take at least two weeks to get out here. All of that hinges on if they shipped on June 24th like they originally promised. Now it seems that even that date is in question.
I just checked. There's an AT&T store 10 minutes from my house and an Apple Store in King of Prussia (45 minutes). I'm hoping that by the time I'm back in the states that I'll be able to get one in store.
The iPad is awesome! I'm taking it on my future trips and leaving the laptop at home.
