black 32GB, enough for me

[babyknight]

I managed to get in during that first hour too thankfully.  Black, Verizon, went with 64GB as my music collection is getting pretty big…

Was a last minute decision on the black though.  Had been tempted by the white one for the first time with an iPhone.

Exactly what I was thinking.

You guys keep big parts of your collections on your phone? I'm using iTunes match, so don't keep much on my 16GB since I can access my entire library anyway.

Then again, my company pays for my data, so it's never a big concern.

Congrats to everyone who escaped the bullshit (read: creating demand)…

Black 16Gig

I ordered from Apple and it says shipping in 2-3 weeks. Got a black 64gb. Apparently, apple was surprised by the pre-order demand.

there was something in the news that they got 2.000.000 pre-orders in the first 24h…..

I'll stick to my IPhone4 32GB…not feeling the 4S or the new 5...too less updates for my liking so no need to cop a new phone!...

I'll wait for the inevitable 5s next year.

[seawolf]

I might upgrade to the 4s for $99.

Black 32GB. Pre ordered from AT&T store. 2-3 weeks delivery time.

Anyone else download iOS 6?  Apple Maps is absolutely abysmal.  Total embarrassment to their brand…

[urbanwoodsman]

What? Explain please. I mean it can't be nearly as bad as bing's maps…

[GimpKid]

Got iOS 6 earlier. I agree about the maps, actually. Kinda sad. Hopefully Google releases a maps app.

[babyknight]

I don't know how to explain it other than that it is total shit.  There is a 45 page thread devoted to how awful it is on MacRumors.  Examples of problems:  awful quality satellite view; no streetview; directions are apparently a disaster; inaccurate; local towns missing or in the wrong place.  Etc.

[urbanwoodsman]

Fuck. Well hopefully they improve in the next update.

Is the passbook thing supposed to be working? Mine does nothing but send me to the App Store

[babyknight]

there's currently a bug re the app store linking, which apparently you can only fix by going to your date/time settings, turn off auto date set and manually set the date one year in the future.  then go back and the link will go to those (very few) apps which are passbook enabled.  i guess you can then for example buy a movie ticket on fandango and have it go to passbook etc.
