I tried all day yesterday to order. After maybe 30 attempts at going through the buy process on Apple's site, I got to the final page of it and it said it had to ship to my AT&T billing address. Which happens to be wrong now. For the rest of the day I tried to log into AT&T's site to change it. I was never able to. Now trying to log in on it gives me a 404. I'm an app developer, and I need the phone for testing as soon as possible. Update. I got one ordered. It will arrive by July 19. I predict we'll get deluged with negative reviews.

It sucks that Apple's secrecy makes it difficult for legit third-party developers to have access to proper testing hardware and infrastructure so their apps, which Apple touts as one of the reasons to have an iPhone, are ready to go on the day of release.

  We've got it working in the simulator, but the device is always different. For instance, before the iPad there were four possible device orientations. Landscape left and right, and upright left and right. They added two, face down and face up. So any code that if blocked between the original four broke. A lot of apps were thrown by that when they got the device.
