Ruh roh. It looks like AT&T has put a kibosh on iPhone pre-orders for the time being. This should come as no surprise to our readers, or anyone who attempted to pre-order Cupertino's latest handset yesterday. The braniacs over at the ever-reliable Boy Genius Report managed to snag the following internal memo sent out to AT&T employees earlier today:
Pre-orders for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS 8GB are Temporarily Suspended
Effective close of business on June 15, 2010, the ability to place pre-orders (new activations, upgrades and exchanges) has been temporarily suspended. There is a special team that will be manually working all pre-orders from June 15th that were held in a pending status. Under no circumstances should new pre-orders be attempted in the system.
This suspension impacts Phoenix, Premier, OPUS (COR), and System X (DMDR).
Please stay tuned to future bulletin communications for any updates.
Rest assured, we'll keep you up-to-date on this story as it develops.
