Hey all, just wanted to say I was able to order one at 10pm tonight (Sunday, 10/7) in Indianapolis. 16GB Black / AT&T.
I've never gone through an online store checkout that fast in my entire life.
So, it does look like Sundays are definitely days to order as well...

I am FURIOUS right now!! I just had a 32gb black verizon in my cart and available for pickup at 2 stores in the city, but the order never went through!!! Tried to check out for the first stores pick up but by the time i signed in they were all gone!!! Tried again for the other store and for whatever reason, Apple's site made me sign in again, and I MISSED THE PHONE!!!!!
Can someone please explain to me why the hell they made me sign in a second time?!?!?!? I don't understand how my information wasn't already entered and why in gods name I had to do it a second time.... Apple literally just lost me my phone....

Ah, I saw them too! W 14th st & Upper west side right?
It looks like it got updated a little early tonight.
No dice over here either...
Looks like they have every AT&T model available sans the 32GB black here in Indy.
Sorry east coasters.

Didn't see any black Verizon 64's.
Does anyone know if your upgrade gets used when you order one for delivery? Or can you do that, and keep trying to reserve one/find one and then just cancel the order for delivery?
I've added numerous iphones checking pricing and availability during this week inputting my number and account pin or w.e and nothing will happen. Just don't go through the check out process, simply adding them to your cart will not trigger anything.
Edit - OH sorry you mean actually go through the checkout process and then try to find one. Sorry I don't know but if I had to guess I'd say it would not until you go there and activate it, but double check!
I ordered one last night at 9:57 PM at The Grove in Los Angeles.
Got the email AND text message that my order was ready for pick up at 7:37 AM.
Got to the Apple Store at 10:30 AM, got in line which I thought thats where the reservations were, stood there for like 8 minutes, walked up to the lady at the door and asked her if I was in the right line, she asked if I bought it online already, I said yes, she said to go ahead inside to the back and I will be helped. Was out the store at 10:54 AM.
So be sure to ask! My wait would have been shorter if I would have just asked but oh well.
LOVE my new Black iPhone 5!!

I got really lucky tonight. I was able to purchase eight, count 'em 8, 32 gig iPhones in black. One for me, one for my girlfriend and one for each of my 6 kids. The secret is to have everything saved and ready to go for 10pm. I had 8 different browser sessions with everybody's info already filled out prior to 10pm. This seems to have made the difference since after I placed the orders I tried ordering another just for clowns and frowns but the store was already sold out. That was at about 10:03 PM. Good luck everyone.
They were in stock Friday evening in MN. I think Fri during the day a lot of stores got a decent shipment of VZW phones. Good luck.
The store pickup option will be available around 10PM EST, but the stock will be updated around 10PM local.
BOOM!!!!
finally found one. North Alabama. It was updated right at 10 local. Black 64gb VZW.
checkout seems to have went fine. Waiting on confirmation email
