Yes, it was almost instant. Ordered 15 min ago: 4.7" space grey iPhone 6 T-Mobile, with the pick up date of 9/19.
So I can roll up, mid-afternoon, with a mall pretzel and soda in my hand, walk past all the sad people who don't have phones, and walk out with the one I reserved to get on the 19th!

I don't think they'll let you in the store with a drink!!!
Finally I managed to order two small ones - both 64 gb T-Mobile contract free, one Gold, one Space Gray. I used Chrome (on a Chromebook) and the site eventually came up for me around 2:30am PST, two and a half hours later than expected. The wait was annoying especially since they seemed to give priority to people who want to finance the phone and lock into contracts. I mean, my cousin was able to upgrade his AT&T line within 30 minutes of kick-off using the App directly on his current iPhone. Whatever.
I originally intended to buy one small and one Plus size, but the Plus seems to be back-ordered already. It doesn't give you a ship date until you add it to your cart. It may say 7-10 days on the main selector page, but when you add it to your cart and go to pay it will say October.
Also, I advise everyone on AT&T to have their current iPhones unlocked by filling out the form on their site. It increases resale value by a lot. Or keep it around, might come in handy if you travel and want to use international SIM cards.

I had (on the AT&T web site) the option to buy the AT&T phone at full price (I have the Next plan, but always had full price phones without installments)

Yes
it would let me choose contract, Next, or contract free, but after i would hit the Pre-order button it would take me to a different selection screen that only had contract and NEXT options.
It is Contract Free, as in, you don't have to have a contract to buy the phone, however, it is not Unlocked....which means you can use it on T-Mobile, but this won't be working on Verizon or AT&T without at least 2 months of T-Mobile Service.
Reserved my phones: 64 Silver+, 128 Slate+.
I've never ever paid so much for my phones. Current plan is $70. For the 6, I'm entering $90+ territory.

man i wish Apple would have stuck with their original business model of only selling un-subsidized, contract free phones.
It showed the full price option for me under the NEXT options .... however, I just checked with my son's phone (under the same contract) and there it only shows the installments ... wired (but he is not getting a new one anyway - but it should show the full price option too since his phone was also bought full price)
