When do you reckon (from experience) I'll get the phone.

You see, I don't want to pre-order if I'll be waiting several weeks..

1-2 weeks
or
2-3 weeks

If you do it early enough before they sell out, you'll get it on launch day.

Edit: Misread his post. Yeah, probably 2-3 weeks.

I dont have the money to preorder until next week..

So do you reckon it would be better not to preorder, and then just buy instore?

Will it take even longer if I don't preorder, and just buy after the release date online?

no one knows how many will sell on preorder tomorrow. they could sell out on preorder and shipping times could be 2-3 weeks...this has happened before.

I doubt the iPhone 5 will have a near-instantaneous sell-out later tonight, but my guess is if you don't submit your pre-order within a few days, you'll be waiting at least two weeks if not more.

Pre-ordering will stop at launch next week and then you would just order and expect a delay due to constrained supply since in addition to the 9 countries that get pre-orders starting on 9/14 other countries will begin pre-orders in the coming weeks. The delay time could be 5-7 days or even 5-6 weeks, we don't know today but we saw those types of delays last year depending on the specific carrier / model / color.

In addition these additional roll-outs will impact peformance on the Apple systems just like the crunch we will all see tomorrow and when iOS 6 is available for download next week.
