Success at 2:40am PDT. The cure for what has been dubbed the “Apple Hangover” from staying up into the weeeee hours of the night will arrive on my doorstep October 14th!

I pre-ordered the iPhone 4S for my wife via Sprint. It’s replacing her Blackberry 9630 (Tour), which she has had to have replaced 4 times in the past 2 years. I’m excited to get her onto the iOS platform with her phone (we each have our own Macs and an iPad and iPad 2 between us) and see how it improves her ability to get more things done. I’m also very interested to see how the iPhone 4S performs on Sprint’s network. I left Sprint to get the iPhone 3GS in 2009 and might consider coming back if my wife’s experience with the iPhone on Sprint is a good one. But I’ll most likely hold out until the next model rolls out and my contract with AT&T expires.

I was up last night about 3:00am ET to place my order, but AT&T never worked and Apple didn’t get things ready for another 45 minutes. I received a reservation notice telling me it couldn’t confirm my status with AT&T. A while later, another e-mail arrived and I completed the order online without any issues.

I have an iPhone 3Gs and it’s ready for an upgrade. My primary motivation was more storage capacity for media. Since my old contract with AT&T is up months ago, I was eligible for the full upgrade credit.

It seems silly to wake up in the middle of the night, but I just wanted to get this behind me. Next week, I’ll have my upgraded phone. Surprisingly, the dock I ordered with it won’t ship for another week after that.

Do it on the phone, it works there. They may have a separate site.

I was thinking of ordering it until I saw the sticker price for us AT&T customers with still some time on our contract. $649 for the 16GB model (which means a $450 “upgrade” premium). I don’t understand that business model. Why not let us upgrade at the going price, and just renew the 2-yr contract starting now?

Actually, I placed my order on the AT &T site, as both the Apple website and app kept on giving me error messages. What is up with Apple?!
