Got it!
After over an hour and being locked out of my account on ATT i finally got through. I originally got to the payment page right off the bat then got booted as the server bombed. Then after an hour of trying I got it!!! Keep trying and good luck to all of you. BLACK/SLATE 32!

iPhone 5 ordered. 
Switching to Verizon just gave me problems, so I'm sticking with AT&T for now. Ah well.

Changing Shipping Address
Moto - You should be able to go in to your order in the Apple.com store and change the delivery address while it is in the "Processing" stage. Just do it quick before they move it to "Prepared for Shipment"

Why oh why did they have to make it even more expensive? I mean the competition is stronger than ever, so a little discount would have been great...
680 for a phone (even an iPhone) is simply too much
I guess I'll have to stick with my 3gs for yet another year...

I got mine, but not without difficulty.
The Apple and ATT sites were down, so I used the app. The app was easy, loaded quickly, and never gave a problem with checking upgrade status etc... but it wouldn't let me change the mailing address from my billing address to my preferred mailing. I finally got into the Apple store website to see if I could fix the address. This took 45 minutes. The Apple site kept telling me there was an error with my address and wouldn't let me check out. I went back to the app and completed the order.
Not the end of the world, but annoying.

PO Boxes
For those who have a PO Box associated with they ATT accounts, you will have to change that address in ATTs account management before placing your order! The Apple store pulls it in from ATT and tells you that it cannot place your order because they do not ship to PO Boxes.
I managed to change it on ATTs site and within minutes the Apple Store pulled it in and allowed me to order.
I was amazed the updated info was pulled into the Apple store so quickly - given all the server traffic going on with both ATT and Apple.
Now its just waiting until the phone arrives next Friday.
Going back to bed now....

MAN WTF.... how it go to 2 week in a matter of seconds... It would not let me order 2 so I ordered them back to back and one ships on the 21st the other says 2 weeks... i hope this is wrong because mine was the second one ordered that ships in 2 weeks while my son ships o the 21st,
Ooooooo, ok I just saw, BIG RED letters so I did not saw anything besides it will not deliver on 09/21.
No issues with the Apple UK store, had my iPhone 5 32gb white ordered in less than a minute
Still not a big fan of the taller screen but everything I have is Apple and I'm invested in the ecosystem. So I'll see how it feels in my hand as to whether I keep it or not. It may grow on me

On the Apple.com store, you can't order more than one Verizon phone if you are starting a new account. How does one order 2 phones to transfer over from AT&T?? So after I inputted my info and Apple's servers checked my credit, I canceled and went to Verizon's page to order. No issues. But now it seems like they need to do some more checking since their servers already got an eligibility/credit check from Apple's servers. I really hope this doesn't delay my order!
I see others have received an email confirmation from Verizon already. I have yet to get this...

Did you do that after the order was "Processed" because I'm still under status "Just recieved your order" and can't seem to be able to do so.
Reserve online for in store pickup?
It will not let me select in store pickup- the bubble for that is grayed out.
Last new phone for me was iPhone4 when it was brand new, and reserving online for in store pickup then was easy and no problem....
Am I doing something wrong this time?
Have they not made that option available yet?
I know 8am starts in store preorders, but I was hoping to reserve online to only have to do the in store frenzy once on pickup day, not twice with reserving in person too.

The same thing happened last year and I think Apple let pre-order people add it without going to the store.
Pre-orders are sold out!
It delivers in two weeks now... glad I was able to order mine in time for Sept 21st!
