Update, got mine through the Apple Store app on my iPhone.

Now, the options confused me a bit, I didn't make any change to my plan, so my unlimited data plan should just carry over, right?

Confirmed.

Order number

I had to place two orders separately, one for each line - just a few mins apart - I noticed the order number incremented by over 1,600,000 in just a few mins - is this some sort of indication on how fast they came in? Wow if so!

Order #1 W47023XXXX
Order #2 W47369XXXX

Had to use firefox to get through the apple store. The website kept showing the maintenece message with safari.

Yeah it looks like either we needed to clear cookies or something. I had firefox refreshing but eventually tried chrome and went through without a hitch.
 
iPhone 5 64GB White & Silver (GSM), AT&T
Available to ship: Delivers 9/21

I had success with the Apple Store iPhone app. For me the Web based Apple store is still not loading. Process was really painless with the Apple Store app. I just went a bit back and forth with enabling the express checkout. I just wanted to make sure I was grandfathered in my data plan. I was able to confirm that while doing a regular checkout. Perhaps the express checkout would have also shown me this. Who knows. All in all, between waiting three or four minutes for the Web Apple Store, finding about the Apple Store app working fine and doing the deed I was done around 12:11, that's the time on the successful order e-mail. Thanks everyone, in particular those who shared about the Apple Store app working fine for the iPhone reservation
 
I used a friends account and his upgrade to buy the phone. I ordered using the iPhone app. The shipping address is not his billing address on his Verizon account and I used my billing address to process my debit card... Is my order going to be canceled?
 
Could not access apple store or ATT websites through PC. Got right in through Apple Store App on iphone; Ordered (1) 32GB in Black.
 
Got 4 iphones through the Verizon website!!

2 - black 16gb
1 - white 16gb
1 - white 32gb (mine :])
 
I keep trying to order through apple.com or the iphone app - it keeps saying I need to reset my password but then wont allow me to do so - any ideas??????
 
I'm in LA and apple.com has been down since about 10.30 PM. Ordered my 32G Black through the iPhone app, so much easier than my iPhone 4S midnight experience 11 months ago.

Wanted to have it shipped to an address other than billing but that was not an option. Also could not use my Apple gift cards as it defaulted to stored Apple Store CC. Oh well, may have to drive from LA to SF next Friday to visit my brother, a beautiful City, and pick up my new phone!!!!!
 
Pre-ordered 4 separate phones for different family members, all from the Apple website. Pretty much all went through without a hiccup! A little slow but none of the processes took more than 3-4 minutes. Very happy with Apple!!
 
Black | Slate 32GB for me. Pulled the trigger on the Apple store iPhone app as well. Initial crush as expected, but got thru finally after 20 minutes. :p:apple:
 
I was getting frustrated at first, but that was definitely an easy preorder! I ended up using safari on my phone and thats what did it! for some reason my macbook pro and ipad still say "We'll Be Back" when i refresh them
 
Tried ordering through the app but it wouldn't go through.

Jumped online. Store was down for a few extra minutes. Once it was up my order went through online painlessly.

Ordered:
Black 64GB unlocked iPhone 5
Lightning cable
Lightning adapter
Apple Care

Confirmation email received at 3:20am (EST).

This was my first time doing it online. For all other iPhones (except the first one, which didn't come to Canada) I waited in line on launch day.

m&c
 
I got it ordered with the iOS Apple Store app, white 64gb pre-ordered!

order mine also from app store!! so much easier and it let me ship to different address other than billing. Should work b/c I've done this before.

Check out Email confirmation!!!!

I have a question... I guess I'll ask here since my thread is getting buried.

I just ordered 2 iPhone 5 devices for different cell phone numbers. When I got my email confirmations, I was a little confused because it said both of the orders were for the same phone number. Is this an issue, or should I not worry about it? I don't want 2 iPhones to arrive and have one not work for me. Thanks.
