Most news feeds are saying if you didn't order within the first 3 hrs (approx, one said the first hour) you should be receiving it about 1 week after the launch. Not surprised, it was crazy like this with the iPhone 4. I was up at midnight and got my order in & email confirmation within 10 minutes but it will only ship to my billing address (even though I have a default shipping address to my work on my account). So now I'm trying to get my order to pull up or talk to Apple support but I keep getting error pages or getting hung up on because they are too busy.
Got a tip for us?

New iPhone 5 Pre-orders Through Verizon Slip to September 26 Delivery [Update: AT&T at 14-21 Days]

I committed cellular suicide by sticking with them when the 4s came out. Won't make that mistake again, jumping ship to verizon.
Hmmm...I ordered around 5:30am East when I woke up. My email states 9/21/12 delivery date. Wonder why...I am sure it will all work itself out for all.
I went to my local ATT store when they opened at 9am PST. I had called in at 7am PST, but they said their order system had crashed and couldnt take orders. By the time ATT opened, they said delivery dates were already 14-21 days.
The person that helped me out said that 14 to 21 day estimate was from today, but I highly doubt that will be the case.
I was also informed that LTE for AT&T will go live in Portland by the end of this month. They just announced it in their meeting before opening today.

I can't believe people are stressing out over getting a new phone.
IT'S A PHONE, NOT AN ORGAN DONATION!

I was also told that not many people are ordering the 64GB versions or the whites as much as the black and smaller drives. I was told mine would most likely ship sooner than later.
I really think ATT is just trying to be conservative with their delivery estimates. Apple has been pumping these phones out for months.

I agree.
Great news, glad I decided to stick with AT&T. Did they provide any more details about the LTE rollout in Portland?
Verizon Billing Question
Does anyone know if they bill your credit card when you pre-order or does it bill your card later when it actually ships?
Thanks in advance...

But can you get a donated organ for $199.99 with a two-year commitment?
I ordered from Apple at 6:30am ET, and it said delivering on 10/5. Since I set up a trade in with Gazelle for my iPhone 4, I cancelled that order (which took forever since no one could get through Apple support) and went to Radio Shack and pre-ordered there. Not sure if they'll have it on the 21st, but they said they should have them between 21st and 26th for pickup. Hope that holds true...
They just said it will go live by the end of the month, and that if you have a LTE enabled device, such as the iPad 3 or new iPhone, it will automatically connect to it. I heard that you will get 5GB of LTE as part of your plan if you are on unlimited data, before it is throttled.
Accessory incompatibility?
So no one will be getting the adapter on the house. Then again, even if you got the adapter for free, it seems like a lot of accessories will be incompatible because video out/ipod out was dropped. Actually, I have a question. Is it just the adapter that doesn't support video out/ipod out or is it also the connector? If someone has a USB port in their vehicle, will they be able to see their playlists/artists on the touch-screen and be able to control their iPhone 5 from the vehicle's touch-screen/steering wheel or only be able to play music/charge through the cable? Do people have to wait for Apple to release another adapter? I read several online articles that just seem to add to the confusion.

Just Talked to an Apple Rep after a 30 minute wait, All the orders from 3:00 am to 3:45 AM EST has delivery guaranteed on the 21st. Any orders after the 3:45 am mark are on the 2 weeks shipping (Business days) 21+days
Also if anyone forgot like myself, applecare can be eaisly added by taking your SEALED iphone to an apple store, (you can take it opened just will be a longer wait) that way the genuius bar wont have to look over your phone with a magnifying glass And you wont need an appointment this way!

Placed my order this morning at 4 am est on the apple store App on my Ipad.
Screen this morning (should have done a screen shot) said "Available to ship: September 21". After a crazy day at work I pull up my order status online and it says "Delivers Oct 5 via Standard Shipping".
Customer support at apple only knows how to read the prepared script "What you see on the website is your correct shipping information. There were lots of orders ahead of you".
Had the app not screwed me over I would have just ordered directly from ATT, they were still doing 9/21 well after 4 am.
Why does Apple try so hard in turning loyal users into haters?

I ordered from the Apple site around 3:20 AM EST. How do you know if you got in the first batch of shipments?
