So, I've always upgraded my iPhones on the Apple web site. What's the best method to preorder the S4? Do I need to try to order as soon preorders go live or need to line up at a store? What's the anticipated demand for this beast?
Id go to your local at&t store.
If it's anything like the HTC One pre-order, I'd probably go in store and pre-order. If you're planning on ordering online though, but sure you know what time pre-orders begin just to be safe. Some pre-orders start at midnight of the day.
Demand will probably be high and I'm sure Samsung expects it to be, I don't expect it'll sell out.
What's the advantage of going into the store? It seems like online would be easier. And is buying on the AT&T implied?
Also, another stupid question, whenever I've bought iPhones, whether in person or online, I've been able to unbox and activate it myself. Will I be able to do this with my S4? My friends who have bought Androids were told the sales associate "had to" open and activate the phone in store. True? I just want to do it myself.
I just want them to let me open and activate it myself. Keep their grubby paws off my new toy.
If I order it in the store, can I still have it mailed to my home or would I have to pick it up in store?
There is nothing wrong with a sales person making their commission, if they are helping you out and doing their job then I am cool with it. Besides I like to make sure I can get what I need when it arrives in case there is a problem with online stuff.

AMEN

Making their commission at the expense of giving false information I'd probably have a word or two to say about. But making their commission off of genuinely helping people that may need it, no there isn't. But no sales associate "has to" activate a phone, that option is only there for people that can't or don't want to. OP obviously wants to.
And yeah OP, I'd probably pre-order online if you want it shipped to your house. Just make sure you know when pre-orders start that way you'll have plenty of time to secure a unit in the event you get error messages and it comes close to selling out.
On line all the way! All going to the store does is give you heart burn and you will be on here ranting...Have faith in the FedEx. They have not let me down yet on a launch day! I thought they would miss the June 21st promise for the S3 but they shipped it overnight and I got it on the 21st! It doesn't hurt that thy ship from Ft. Worth just across the metroplex.
have they announced yet when it will be released?
