More than 600,000 iPhone 4 units pre-ordered. AT&T pre-orders are temporarily suspended

The first iPhone 4 pre-order day was almost a fiasco within the US, with a lot of problems plaguing the pre-ordering procedure.

Still, Apple seems to be pretty happy concerning the whole thing, because it has just announced that greater than 600,000 new iPhones were pre-ordered (not just in the U.S., but additionally within the UK, France and Germany), representing “the largest variety of pre-orders Apple has ever taken in a single day.”

Apple apologized for the malfunctions appeared yesterday, hoping that frustrated customers who didn’t be capable to pre-order anything “will try again or visit an Apple or carrier store once the iPhone 4 is in stock” – and that i assume that’s exactly what they are going to do.

In the meantime, iPhone 4 pre-orders at AT&T are suspended. The carrier says here is as it needs “to fulfill the orders already received”, however it’s probably also as it desires to make certain there’ll be not more problems.

I think Apple’s new slogan for the iPhone 4 – this changes everything – is truly well thought up. It even changed an easy pre-ordering procedure right into a nightmare that, in accordance with some customers, lasted for hours.
