iPhone 4 Pre-Orders Wreaking Havoc On Apple Store

theappwhisperer was one of a surprisingly large number of people writing in this morning to report that the Apple store is having serious troubles taking pre-orders of the new iPhone 4. People are seeing the error page or just waiting an insanely long time to get pages back. Just imagine trying to do this from an iPhone in a major market!

    The only thing Apple can take is several loads of man-juice. Purchasers of superior quality hardware (unfortunately not upgradeable) and inferior software (according to wilipedia and R.Stallman) are known as MacFags (TM, patent pending).

    If this is true ... yay.

    We have the second coming of Windows, and this one will be even worst, thanks to the psycho-egoistic-dictator who is at the helm of the company responsible.

    Looks like the way to get ahead in this world is to take advantage of the ignorance of others to screw them over.

    Well, shit.

    (I'm just joking of course - though I better say it, else someone might mark me "troll" - it's funny.)

    That statement kind of took away some of the humor of the first part of your post. You should have left that out. For every "Troll" mod you got there would have been 4 "Funny" and at least 1 "Insightful" or "Interesting" to counteract the net -1 karma hit for the "Troll" mod.

    That's assuming you really give a shit. I don't. Many folks who get points are so over sensitive or over zealous that they mod like shit.

    Trying to make your product appear desired by throttling your bandwidth must be the lamest trick of them all.

    Right, because all those phones were better than the iPhone, which explains why they changed the mobile landscape so much. . . .

    Pull your head out of your backside and realize your feature list fixation is a stupid way to judge a product. The reason the iPhone has people waiting in line is because of the whole package. Now go back to your shitty 2 year old 5800 and multitask on your high resolutions screen.

    If you don't like the product then don't buy one, but kindly STFU because it gets old listening to stupid people like yourself who pass yourself off as superior but are too damn stupid to understand why this product is so popular.

    What? Correct me if I'm wrong, but T-Mobile and AT&T are also HSPA. Let's not get into the fact that HSPA is itself a WCDMA technology.
