So yesterday was the big pre order day for the new iPhone 4, and AT&T had their hands full. I was on twitter for a good part of the day checking out everyones reactions and experiences and it seemed a little chaotic.
First off, some people weren't getting their confirmation email from AT&T for like 10-12 hours. I don't know if that's normal or not, but it sure doesn't seem to be. I can only assume they didn't have a few people writing and sending out the confirmation emails and that it was automated. But 10 hours for an automated response seems a little extreme.
Anyone who was using the Apple store app to order their iPhone 4 ran into some serious problems. Apparently people were being taken to other peoples accounts with the other persons information being available. Luckily none of the information being exposed was credit card details, call history or social insurance numbers. But still, that's not good.
So with AT&T dropping the ball in a major way, it doesn't look promising for everything to get ironed out and go smoothly from here on out. The delivery date has already been pushed back to
July 2nd and it wouldn't surprise me if more things went haywire. Anyways, it should make for some interesting news stories.
