I got the space grey 16gb! I was torn these past couple weeks over space grey and gold. Besides the fact that the gold models weren't available at my spot in line, I'm happy it wasn't because I probably would've gotten it. I'm happy about that because as soon as I walked in the store and saw it in person on display, I knew I didn't want it anymore. And space grey looks much better in person than in pictures/video!

The touch ID is awesome, love it. The camera is amazing. I can really feel the speed of the A7 and how iOS 7 is truly optimized for the 5s over the 5. Very happy customer here!
 
Had a 5 which I sold about 2 weeks ago and have been using my backup 4. I'm sure that has alot to do with how fast I think the 5S is but man it is lighting fast. Touch ID works great and things are just extremely snappy. Very happy so far and knowing what I know now, I definitely believe its a great, worthy upgrade from the 5.
 
Can't complain about my experience. I set the alarm for just before sale time and used the Apple Store app on my iPad. I was looking at the purchase confirmation within 5 minutes. Back to sleep I went.

While later driving into work, I noticed the AT&T store only had 3 people in line. I couldn't help myself - I stopped and asked what they had left in stock. Apparently the store only received the space grey, which was what I wanted. They said they were running low on 16's, but had decent numbers of 32's and 64's. About 20 minutes later I was back on the road to work, with a 64GB space grey model in hand.

Only complaint was that the AT&T dude turned the phone on and go through the initial prompts. I restored it back to factory because I didn't know any other way to find the restore option. No big deal, it was just a few minutes.

Restore is all done and I'm happy with the phone. I love TouchID. It's very quick and is a great way to skip the passcode. It will be nice while driving.

I look forward to trying out out the new camera, burst mode, etc.

In the end, I am glad that I stopped. I cancelled the order from earlier and saved the expedited shipping cost. More importantly, I won't have to stay home for delivery day.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but let's hope you're not using your phone and/or texting while driving.

You're going to kill yourself/somebody else.

I had issues with the online ordering and by the time I got that worked out it was 7-10 days on delivery. So I went to the Apple Store at lunch all they had were color... so I went to the AT&T store in the mall and they had 32/64 in space gray, perfect I wanted 32... but I did the same thing, I like to set my phone up from the start so I did a restore right away... and that is why I like the Apple store better.

I'm just happy I got it without having to run to every store looking for it, and I didn't get up at some crazy time to wait in line.

Congrats! :)

You just reminded me that I will have to stop in the Apple Store to get AppleCare. Couldn't get it at AT&T.

32GB Space Gray. After having a Note II for a year and then coming back to iOS7 I have found this a nice change :D

p.s The case is made by "Spiegen" if anyone is curious!

Got to the AT&T store at 8:30am. There were about 20 people in line. I wanted the 32gb space grey. Waited about 45min when the manager came out and said they only had 64gb left. Bummed, I decided to bite the bullet and get the extra storage. When I walked in I tole the rep I had wanted a 32gb, so he starts going through the drawer and in the back corner he found the last one.

All in all, took about an hour to get my phone and activated, but got the phone I wanted on launch and didn't have to wake up super early or camp out anywhere.
 
Anyone post some more with cool cases? I love clear cases and maybe link to the item?
 
I like the phone but the new iOS I don't really like. I like all the new features it has but i HATE the look of it.

By the way I bought a space grey 32gb from a verizon store today.
