Hey,
I was wondering about pre-ordering the iPhone 4S. I know that no one knows for sure but I would appreciate any tips/info/facts that you remember from past iPhone (or Apple in general) launches.

What time do pre-orders usually start? They said Oct. 7th but like midnight? 4am? What was it like in the past?

Do pre-orders start at the same time in all countries, or for example do they start accepting US pre-orders faster than UK pre-orders usually?

I am hoping to get my hands on an iPhone 4S in the UK (especially pre-ordering one).

And then what about shipping? If I manage to pre-order it how fast does it usually get there? By Saturday?

Would it be better to reserve it for in-store pickup? About in-store pickup, is that only available for October 14th or can I reserve it to be picked up on the 15th? Also is there a time limit to the time by which I must pick it up (noon or something)?

All info (especially from past experiences) will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
