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

Man I got on the Apple Store, hit refresh about 10x, and the store was lightning fast. Got an error verifying my account, had to restart, and everything was painfully slow. We're good now, though!
 
so easy to order from apple.com this year :D

GOOD JOB :apple:

e-mail confirmation received :cool:
 
Got my phone ok through apple website. Odd thing is on other computer still said apple store down for first ten minutes.

Then had to go get wifes phone and it is reserved because they cant get through to AT&T - "We are holding your reservation"
They will contact me by email when they can get through and to complete the order.
Thats kind of worrying. Not seen that mentioned here before. Will it be ok?

I got that too when I tried to add a new line for my girlfriend. I'm not too worried.
 
What an experience. Couldn't get the store to come up on my laptop, so thanks to those here who said use the Apple store app. I had to go and get my iPad, and download the app. Then it said there was an error processing my request, and I clicked on the "go to full site" link at the bottom of the page on the app. And then I redid everything through the Safari browser on my iPad and was done in like 2 minutes. Confirmation email received.

64GB white for Sprint.

I can sleep now.
 
man its crazy when you think about it. i bet theres already been about 50,000 preorders for the iphone 5 and it hasnt even been an hour. probably more actually
 
Really wish we could pick up in store :(

I always loved that part of the experience and now it'll just be me waiting for the UPS guy :-/

nope. random #'s. someone used this info last year to track sales quantity and apple changed it up for the ipad launch.
 
Got mine in through the iPhone App. 64 in black.

I've had my 4 for 2 years now and it's falling apart little by little. I deserve this. :D

edit: oh yeah, downloaded the app just to place the order.
 
Ordered a balck 64gb & a white 32gb from my iPhone using the Apple Store app. Had to keep trying but eventually went through ok & got a confirmation.
 
I had both Apple and AT&T open in both browsers as well, but it was a no go. Apple store app came through though. My brother was still trying to refresh the sites. I told him to download the app. He successfully downloaded and preordered in minutes.
 
So easy!!

Had my laptop open in ff and ie, and my ipad open on the apple store app...at 11:59 the app store on ipad was working and everything was ordered in about 10-15 seconds!! Email conf. shows 12:00am! Have been checking my pc on app store in both browsers and nothing, so glad the ipad worked!
 
I just ordered a 64 GB black iPhone 5 from Apple, using a regular laptop browser, not the app.

The entire process was nearly painless, much better than last year.
 
Ok hopefully the "your order is being processed" is cool, my card hasn't been charged yet, though.
 
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?

I'm assuming so. I checked during check out the plan details and mine still said Data Plan: Unlimited.

I looked again before I tapped place order and screenshot it just in case Verizon changes it next week.
 
Ordered 32 Black GB for Sprint. =)

Question, can I exchange at the Apple store? Wasn't sure which GB version to get...
 
I still had no luck on apple and att website but from the Apple App through my ipad i got my order in with no delay in less than 5 minutes
