OK, so maybe I overreacted a little in that I may have placed slightly more blame on Apple and less on AT&T than was deserved.

I say this because I was finally able to order an iPhone4 yesterday, but it wasn’t through either the Apple or AT&T Web sites. I took my cue from Gruber and tried ordering one using the Apple Store iPhone app, which apparently entirely cuts out the AT&T process. It worked like a charm, right away. Means I have to burn probably half a day hanging out at the Apple store, but that’s still better than the nowhere I was getting on the two Web sites.

Nonetheless, I still think Apple dropped the ball yesterday and deserved being called out.
