Today I checked with the T-Mobile store to see if I can get my hands on one of the new iPhone 4 models. Sadly, there weren't any more available. I thought I did make the reservation quite early but I guess it wasn't early enough.
It's strange how things go: My first iPhone I got without prior planning or anything. Until the day it was released here, I wondered and pondered if I should get one myself, and then on a whim I simply decided to head to the T-Mobile store on that day in the afternoon (!) and I actually managed to get my hands on one of the last 16GB 3G models they had available. So no prior planning, no early reservation, nothing. And I got lucky.
This time, I actually informed myself and tried to get a reservation early - to no avail it seems. "We'll call you when the iPhone for your reservation arrives", I got told. Fair enough. I can survive alittle longer with my old one - the only hard part will be trying to avoid all the hype out there atm. I'm still curious what's different this time. Maybe the hype over the new model is bigger than the one over the first iPhone? Hard to believe. Perhaps it's because this time, we really got the iPhone 4 very early here in Germany - the first one took a while to reach us.
Perhaps I'll try another store later today - probably in the afternoon hehe - and simply ask them if they have any iPhones left. Maybe I do get as lucky as 2 years ago.
