Can't handle differing opinions?

No it's just that he is obviously just looking to stir up trouble. This thread is on a Mac site and is specifically about preordering the iPhone 5, it's for those that want to discuss the specifics etc an are excited about it. To come in this thread and start trashing the iPhone before its even released is trollish behavior. If someone wants to have that legitimate debate, start your own thread don't hijack this one.

Should I get white or black? 16GB or 32GB?

im gonna try an get the black 32gb. now that apps will have to be updated for the larger screen size and more pixels, they will prob take up more room in your memory. i also think the 2 tone black looks pretty sharp.

The 32gb seems like a must with everything being such high quality (apps, pictures, etc.) And I agree, I love how the apple logo looks like the glass on the black.
 
the next 2 hrs and 39 mins are gonna feel like a year! Then waiting til next friday will seem like 2 yrs. Im currently toting a GS3, thinking id give it a try, but im ready to go back to the iPhone and the iPhone 5 looks and sounds awesome! I cant wait!
 
Just wanting to make sure:
Sprint offers in store (Sprint store itself, not Apple) pick up of pre-orders, correct?
(I am uncomfortable shipping it to my dorm so I have to do it through the store)

and also, can you go in starting at 8 am on the 21st to pick up the phone you preordered?
 
Damn, I gotta get up @ 6:30am for work. I think I'll just wait until the morning before I take off to work to get my pre-order in. But, I do have a question. That's 4/5 hours after the launch time for me, so is there expected to be a delay in arrival if I wait until 6am to get my order in? My launch time is 2:01 am. I've usually ordered mine right when the minute struck, or in the iPhone 4's case, after their 2-3 hour delay from their servers crashing.

We have a business plan, same thing as family, and we use other lines to get the "upgrade" phone. When it comes in, we take it to the ATT store and have it activated on our number, no charge. The only thing it does is for the number the phone was ordered on, it resets the period in which you can upgrade that line again. We do this every other release almost.

okay, but how do the plans work out? my mom's currently on an iphone (original) and i dont want to mess with her plan, but will i have to upgrade her plan (i'm unlimited want to keep that unlimited (At&t)).

So if i buy the phone with her number, do i have to upgrade her phone?

***2. is the most important step. DO NOT MESS IT UP.

I called ATT today and the lady told me this:

1. you type in the number of the phone that is eligible for the upgrade to buy the new phone.
******2. when you get the new iphone DO NOT ACTIVATE IT. (This will disable her phone and cause you to have to go to the ATT store).*******
3. call ATT and tell them the situation, they will have you read IMEI numbers and then they will tell you that you can now activate your new iphone. The phone will now know to use YOUR phone number and not your mom's.

That is how you use somebody else's upgrade. Quite simple unless you **** up #2, then you have a mess.
 
Booooo! Just got to the SoftBank store near my place. No customers in there for preorders but turns out they've been handing out reservation tickets from midday. Even though I went in yesterday and they said from 4pmand nothing about tickets from midday. So now I'm 9th in queue and 6 of the people have put down for a 64gb model which I also want. Rubbish!
I just have to hope that they all don't show up at 4 and I can get in first...
