Ready for iPhone 3GS
Apple’s servers were overloaded as usual today from all the WWDC announcements, so it took me a few tries to reserve a new iPhone. But I finally got through, so I’ll be picking one up 19 June at the SoHo store probably around lunchtime. The confirmation e-mail said that it would be available anytime during store hours, and that I should be on the lookout for concierge staff wearing orange t-shirts to help me checkout. Maybe I should take a half day or something.
This was really good timing for me since I partially shorted out my 1st gen iPhone from the rain in the Five Boro Bike Ride last month and have only been using it as an iPod.
Also, my predictions came true for the Snow Leopard upgrade priced at $29. I was betting that it was going to be made free, excluding S+H, but this is close to it.

I never got a confirmation email. Just a “Thank You” page that came up after saying “Thank you for reserving your iPhone.” Strange.

You should’ve got another e-mail right after the initial one that said:
“Dear xxxxx,
Thanks for starting your iPhone purchase online.To finish the process, come to the store you selected and look for a Concierge in an orange shirt. We’ll help you complete your purchase, activate your new iPhone, and set it up for you”
