iPhone
I finally decided that at the new price point and speed, that the nerd in me could no longer resist getting an iPhone. However, I wasn’t feeling up to standing in line for a few hours, so yesterday I went over to the AT&T store at lunch to place an order. (Bonus: AT&T is right next door to Baja Fresh!) They guy taking it said if I express shipped it I should get in the Monday/Tuesday range. I thought, hey, that’s worth $14, and sure beats standing in line.
And then, today I got an email:
AT&T – Out of Stock/Back Order Notification

We are working hard to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. The estimated shipping timeframe for each item is listed below.

Boo. The new timeframe (5-7 days) pushes it back a week or two, and I no longer feel that it was worth the $14. Bastards. I guess I should have just gone and stood in line with the rest of my nerd brethren if I really wanted it immediately.
