I am currently waiting for 10pm to roll around here in AZ 
. Anyway, I have been trying for the 16GB White AT&T for 4 days, and nothing. Can I add a 16 AND a 32 to the cart to check for availability, and then just purchase whichever capacity is available? I didn't want it to screw up availability because I have more than 1 iteration in the cart. My partner does not need 32GB, but I would rather spend the extra $100 and get it over with if need be.

Thanks to y'alls tips, I got my 5 in 32gb tonight at around 10:15 for pickup tomorrow (pending email confirmation). Many thanks!
Ok not worried or anything but to the people that have done this how long does the email usually takes? Has apple specified how long the process could take thru the night
You already got your email? Wow. I haven't received one yet. Was I supposed to get one right away or does it sometimes take a while to get it, like in the morning? Oh geeeze, I'll be super sad if I was able to check out and I never get an email.

Oh you just answered my previous question. I should have just read the whole thread to the end before I asked. haha. Thanks!
Picked up a black 32gb in Dallas for AT&T and back to back picked up a 16gb as well from the same store. For some reason my credit card did not accept so I just used the discover and it went through like a charm. Just going to wait for email in the morning and going to go by the store and pick up both.

i'm curious to know too, i've been checking with 2 items with different colors in the cart. today i'm just going to just try with 1 item.
Very cool, thank you for the tip. At this point, it is a non issue as far as capacity goes.
Are you manually checking each location?
I guess Chicago ran out because I tried 20 mins ago and none are available for pick up
Finally was able to reserve 2 White 16GB Verizon models here in CO. I've been checking for the past 6 nights.
I've been checking for the past 6 nights.If it helps, last week I got a 64 gig black Verizon iPhone 5 at the Albany store. It was on my first attempt.
I also got the confirmation e-mail that evening, which is a bit different from what others describe.

Manual with 2 browsers and different models to get an idea of inventory, stock, update times and chance of completing transaction. I started with Eastern time zone to get an idea of when to be looking for updates and by what time the "GAME IS OVER" and time to wait till the next day or local in store walk ins.
is the best method just hitting locate over and over?
fingers crossed in bay area
ditto in SoCal

yes keep hitting locate over and over. BUT, that only shows you the first 5 or so stores. the first phone I got, about 3 of my first 5 stores turned green.
but the 2nd phone, had I not went onto the next pages, I wouldn't have scored. so, I would suggest also looking at the 2nd and 3rd list of stores every so often (if you're willing to drive further)
