ME TOO!!!! I hope I'm one of those that gets it a day early by accident!!
I had to call the Apple Activation line to confirm my address. They did not ask for any confidential info and the whole call took 2 minutes. I guess my address was different on ATT's side for some reason.
I was charged the $36 even though it's only been a year since I joined Sprint and I paid full price for my phone! I'm hoping I can get that fee waived.
Good to know that my order will be delivered on the 21st. I ordered around 2am on the 14th.

Thank you for pre-ordering the 16G iPhone 5. You are one step closer to getting your phone. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information.

Ordered through Sprint, online. Looks like I should have it on the 21
For those who were wondering....
The $36 fee, is an upgrade fee for all upgrades at the 2 Year renewal stage (At least with AT&T and Sprint, as far as I know)
I didn't use Apple Store app I used apple.com on my computer and it was not there..
----------
I ordered at 12:02am 1 minute after pre-orders went live and then yesterday afternoon about 5:45PM PST my credit card was charged/authorized but not Processing for Shipment for me :'(
still just at "Processing Items" :'(
iPhone 5 for use on Cincinnati Bell Wireless
I would like some input from someone as to which unlocked model of the iPhone 5 that I should purchase for use on my Cincinnati Bell Wireless account. I have listed below the specifications for the three models that are being released by Apple. Since I have no technical experience, I need help in determining which of the three models that I should order for best functioning on Cincinnati Bell Wireless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

● UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz);
● GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz);
● LTE (Bands 4 and 17)
CDMA model A1429*:
● CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1900, 2100 MHz);
● UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz);

That was easy...
At 2am central time I was ready to pre- order my iPhone 5, I grab my iPhone and my phone is dead! I quickly grab my iPad and download the app store, I then quickly order my iPhone 32gb and by 2:08am I'm done. Within seconds I receive a email from apple confirming that they received my order and it's being processed. In the words of Staples.... That was EASY!*

My tracking info shows my 2 week availability order arriving at my place on Oct 5th. That's 8 days before I get home. I especially can't wait to get back to the states.
Anyone elses' shipping method change to "Holiday Shipping"? Maybe it's going to be delivered with Saturday service.

Yep, I noticed that too. I got my order in by 2:02am. Might be one of the first 10 orders. Can't wait to get my phone.
Mine says preparing for shipment. Apple support emailed me and asked if I would like to purchase Apple Care Plus sine I didn't get a chance to via the Apple Store App.
Do you know how to view your order? I checked the Sprint site but it says I need to use the order number that they'd send through email.
EDIT: Finally found it. Their site is quite a maze of links! Or I'm an idiot.
