Grand central told me that they received "hundreds" of iPhones last night so it is going to take "hours" for them to go through them all
Got a tip for us?

Well I am on my way down there. If it isn't ready by noon something's wrong and I'm going to be one of those a$$hole customers I had to deal with for 3 and a half years. 14 hours to process an in store pickup is plenty of time. All the other stores are on top of their game
They told me "over 100". But you can't tell me that 5th didn't get a similar number of orders? They seem to have had the emails sent out in under an hour after the order was placed. The ICSs at grand central have most likely been there since at least 8am. That means their lazy. Reminds me of an ICSs I knew by the name of Andrew. . . Lol
Southern CA -- Well, I was able to order a Black Verizon 32GB last night at 10pm and received the "We Are Ready for You" e-mail at 7:30 this morning. Since they don't open until 10, I assume they aren't really ready for me at the moment, however it appears that the process works well! 
Just got mine at 10:58 while the train was stopped in Katonah. About an hour til I am there. Going to watch The Expendables 2 on the way down.
Got a 16GB Black reserved in Whitehall PA, and got the order ready email this morning. Two questions, please:
1. I have until they close today to pick it up, correct? I won't get there from work until like 5:30 PM or so.
2. I can pick it up as an authorized user as long as I have my CC, ID and know the account info, correct?

I just received my email stating they are ready for me and my phone is at the store. My dilema is this....I work graveyard and I am super tired Will they hold it for me until this afternoon or evening when I wake up??

Yes. As long as you pick it up today.
I am nervous about not picking it up this morning....lol! I know I know, a little paranoid. I don't want them giving it to someone else! But I am sooooo tired
I was able to get one reserved...I still need another tho, so I guess I have to play the 10:00 game a little longer.
Thanks. I'm in a similar situation where I work until 5. I will be heading over right after.
So I've been following this post all week. Decided Friday I was going to try the lottery. I decided to call some radio shacks far far away.... Lo and behold a RadioShack in centerville Va has the 16gb white!! They asked me if I pre ordered and I said no but started to put on my charm..... few hours later I have my iPhone 5!!!! Guys think out the box!! Call radio shacks in the middle of nowhere
So I cannot do the reservation because I'm on an AT&T business account. But, do you think I'd be able to open a personal account to get the phone, and then switch it over to my business account without any problems? Or will that cause a lot of problems money-wise?
You can switch phones any time, so in theory if you opened another acct and got the iPhone 5 and switched it I don't see why not....however then you would be paying for the other line though. With the family share acct, its only $9.99/mo so fairly easy to handle.
I think you might have to wait one billing cycle, but you can merge after that.
Yeah, I got a 32GB black. I was going back and forth between the colors, but I figured I would be happy with either one. Grats on your iPhone!
You would be paying for it on the business account. It would be canceled on the personal account, and the ETF would be waived since it was because the CTN was moved.
Oh ok. Last question I promise lol. So I would be paying the amount from the personal account (which is way overpriced for an individual line) and it would just be transferred to the business account? Or would I get the business account pricing?
Once the CTN is moved to the business account, it would get whatever discounts are allowed per the FAN contract.
I ordered a 16gb AT&T last night. Picked it up this morning at the Tampa Apple store. They were handing out cards for people waiting in line asking which phone they wanted. I heard a couple Verizon cards go to people, but they didnt have those in stock through pickup when I checked the last couple nights. The person who helped check me out said they got a shipment of AT&T and are still going through it.
Can one of you guys who picked up vzw phones verify that they are unlocked? They store manager told my folks that it's device-only but locked. I was pretty sure all vzw phones are unlocked regardless. But it'd be nice if some of you guys can confirm. Thanks.
