Didn't try to preorder the phone. Not because I didn't think I could do it but because I am exchanging my 3GS and I was told I wouldn't get the phone until the 25th. Plan the whole time was to camp my butt off and be the first in line on launch day. Store I am going to is kinda outta the way(other surrounding locations are much easier to get to) so I don't expect a big crowd. Maybe get there at 3 or 4. Unless I'm paranoid, then show up at 12 and pitch a tent.
O and yes, doing all of this over a phone.
