The cs agent told me as of today they were not allowing phone orders either. We went through the whole rigmarole. Cheers if you were able to get in in the last hour. I am not looking back at this point.
I'm really sick of people like you shooting off their mouths when they have no clue what they are talking about. Unless you have actually done it, and can prove it, SHUT UP.
If I could have, I would have. I have an Apex account with a personal rep too, who really goes all out to do what he can for me.
