I AM VICTORIOUS!!
I traveled through the depths of Best Buy's horror filled pre-order process, I've dodged bullets with their crappy customer service, and I have emerged a WINNER!!!!
Tomorrow I will be the proud owner of a 16 GB White AT&T iPhone 5 to be picked up The Galleria!!!!
God is good.
Same here, looking for one in CT - there are both White and Black 64 stocks at SoHo, W14th, Grand Central and Upper West Side stores in NYC if you're willing to make the trip.
Think I'll hold out a bit longer and take my chances..
No I didn't. I guess it's because when I did it through the app, I hadn't yet gotten the email for my original reservation because it said at the time the carrier systems couldn't be reached so technically the first one didn't go through (although I did get a reservation #).
Also, my store actually had the one I got already in stock. I don't think they actually sent it to the store after I reserved / ordered it.
Btw, I did this for Sprint.
Looking for AT&T 32 black in CT. Greenwich had them Thursday night but I couldn't check out in time!!
The Apple store near me told me that they do not have any stock for walk ins, apparently they dont get stock for reservations either though. YMMV
I am an authorized user on the account however, thank you!

YESSS!! I'm so happy!
Still no luck for 16GB Black on Verizon in the MD/VA/DC area
You need to start checking at around 9:45 p.m. I made sure that I have the phone and credit card information all in order (i.e., phone in the chart, credit card info is correct). Start to refresh and do a copy and paste on your zip code. I started at 9:45 p.m. and by 10:01 p.m. I was able to secure one at Apple store bethesda row MD. I did this yesterday.
So is anyone else trying this while also holding a preorder through verizon?
If so, what was your strategy going to be? Anyone ditching their preorder in advance in hopes of scoring in the reservation system?

For some reason, they didn't update until like 10:03 here. I was almost for SURE I wasn't getting anything when I saw there were none in the area at ten. There were NO 32's or 64's white on AT&T at ALL.
I did that Saturday, and also had one at Bethesda Row...but I didn't have Express Check Out checked. So, by the time it registered, voila, all gone.
Yea, I made sure my express check out was good to go. After I selected the store it was pretty much "Next, Next, Next" all the way.
I'm mad at myself for missing out on one last night that was a 45 minute drive away. Figured I could get one closer to me.
Question - I am trying this while signinggionfor new service through VZW. So for each I the last 3 nights, I've had to submit all of my info - DL#, SS#, etc. By going through that process, am I reapplying for service each night? Or does the verification process not get performed until after I make a purchase? And, is there a way around inputing that info each night?
