They're definitely filling in order from the oldest to the newest, and that intermingles online and in store preorders. The numbers given were more than likely done by the associates who printed the preorder lists starting at the top to the bottom. I know we did as well, but we also didn't give that information out to our customers since it's danger close to leaking stock numbers which is a big no-no.
Same here. Got my text notification at 11:30 p.m. EST. Also picking up the Apple Leather Case too.
Ah, mine also did this within the last 12 hours or so. Could that mean...

Any additional updates on this? I had that status change but all else is the same. Still "processing." Credit card charge still "pending." Will I be able to pick-up today!!??
Good moaning! Hehe. At least to my USA peeps.
Just got my BB email saying ready for pickup. I didn't even stress on it because I actually worked up to 9pm and got tired once I got home. Before I fell asleep last night, I put my T-Mobile sim on my iPhone SE and got rid of the Dasher apps on my LGs. I feel like they have wakelocks. Battery drainers.
Just going to have to wait on the phone calls asking when I can pick it up. I can't wait too long for this because my Verizon account is activated but no phone attached to it yet. Don't want to waste money and time for a service I'm not using. I can't believe Best Buy pulled through!
2 for 2 launch day successes for me!

Made it out of BB. They didn’t open it or anything. Just let me pick it up and leave which was awesome.
I’m on AT&T and when they brought it out they broth a SIM card with it which I found weird. I assume the AT&T model would have had it in there already. But I also got a little excited. Am I getting an unlocked device?
Got out to the car and they did give me a model a1865 instead of the expected a1901.
I’m pretty stoked. Unfortunately I don’t have a VZW nanoSIM at home because if try that first thing. My fear is that if I stick an AT&T sim in to it that it will lock to AT&T (or T-Mobile because I have a TMo sim I can use).
Regardless - even if it does lock I still get the broadcom modem and Verizon/Sprint compatibility.

I woke up to use the #1. When you reach your mid-30's, you are always going to use the bathroom every few hrs to take a leak. Had a good 6 hr nap which is pretty normal for me. I barely can hit 8+ but as a lazy college kid, I could sleep 10-12 hrs after getting stoned. I'm probably going to sleep some more for an 1 hr or two.
Just keep your phones near you and make sure loudest volume when it rings. BB is going to call you before or around the time it opens (10am). A BB employee is going to ask you what time will you pick it up? Just be ready. They give us 8 days to pick it up before it becomes void.
Smoothest launch day just like the iPhone 4. If I can pick it up before 11am, I will work until 2p and then try to catch Ragnarok for a 3pm showing at Cinema City, Anaheim Hills. Enjoy your day...

^ Best launch day experiences ever for me and all thanks to Best Buy. Like macOS and iOS, smooth and seamless!

You crushed it! But you do need to activate it for the first time with a verizon sim to unlock it for good. Your ATT sim will lock it to ATT.; Regardless, you got the right phone. Both CDMA and GSM capabilities. If you paid in full, you can activate with your ATT sim and use the ATT unlocking portal online to request that it be unlocked.

Waiting for my phone to ring...
Yes, got the email saying it's ready for pickup. BB even called me last night to confirm it'll be ready. You should be getting yours today I'm guessing as well
