Is this a way to guarantee yourself an iPhone on Friday?

Your upgrade wil most likely be used when you order online, not allowing you to purchase it in store.

Is there a way to order full price from AT&T without doing their NEXT program?

3.) Online order arrives. Go to AT&T and say I bought a new iPhone for your carrier at full price. Sign new contract be credited difference in price for non-subsidized purchase compared to new contract $200 price.
?

Not an option. You want credit for that full price phone you take it back to the place that sold it to you and return it. ATT doesn't give device credits etc for such things.

At least those of us in the USA will have a good idea of where supply stands since we are last to order. If the people in Asia Europe etc are ordering at 12:01 am and getting 4-6 weeks for delivery then we know we have a problem.

No need to speculate now. There WILL be a shortage.
