I ordered at 830am and my order just changed from "we have received your order" to "processing items".
Still have 21st delivery date :-D *relief*

EE keep saying on their twitter feed, and in the email they, Orange and T-Mobile sent out, that if you get your iPhone from Orange/T-Mobile then they will make it easy to switch. So, I should think you will be able to, not confirmed word on cost/term (all they will say on that is details "soon", so I wonder if they haven't decided yet).
this is how mine looks and i got the order in at 8:07 and paid about a hour later as bank put a block on it [natwest]
and yes i accidently orderd 2
the one i cancled went through at 8:15 so thats the one i dropped.

I spoke to vodafone and they told me no nano sims yet call back in a few days and ask then
Worst case, cut sim??
If they are all taking pre-orders, the nano sims should be available too.
T-Mobile pre-order
I can report the T-Mobile pre-order service was pretty painless today (for once). I called just after 8, the price I was quoted was around £50 cheaper than the website (long term customer on tmobile). All you have to do is go to the cancellation department, and keep on going through until you can talk to somebody.
Once you get through just tell them you want to pre-order the iphone 5 (it appears that all of their staff are briefed to do so). They will take you through contract options, I got my same tarrif..The full Monty and a 32gb black iphone on pre-order for £150.
They are reading out some blurb about waiting up until 30 days for the handset at most. The lady said I was the second to speak to her so would most likely get it very early. But I'd say get in their early to avoid a long wait.....she said they have over 200 calls on hold!
Viva la iphone!

Just ordered 64GB on the phone with Three. Amazing deals. Not had any confirmation email or that yet. Did anyone else get this?
I dont think you can cut it down. The nano sim is thinner i think looking at mine.
just got a call from natwest saying did you authorise the payment of £1, to apple blah blah... i already did all this down the phone! god i hate banks somtimes.
One of my phones needed re-authorisation- I had made two orders so they blocked my card on the second and refunded til I phoned (Clydesdale) and had the block lifted
Which resulted in both being processed again grrr
Still same delivery date though
My fault for making separate orders duuhhhh. Last year it was fine as one transaction

I upgraded as soon as my three was up, got a email and text telling me about them texting me on the day it arrives with a time slot. O/
They allowed me to upgrade before the new lines page went up, so I was one of the first through the upgrade site. It came online brief after the iPhone 5 page appeared on their iPhone listings, but that page had error. ^^
Just ordered the 32GB black from Vodafone.
£149 Upfront.
£42 a month
Unlimited Minutes
Unlimited Texts and 2GB of Data and 3GB of Wifi (never used it on old contract.)
Could have got a better deal but stuck with them as they do seem to have the best signal. Interestingly i asked about 4G and he said they are rolling it out on that 1800 mHz frequency very soon (though he said slower than EE and Orange) as i was trying the whole going to leave thing.
They also threw in a "use your minutes in Europe thingy" which could be good when i go on holiday ^^
But condisering im upgrading from £36 quid a month for a 8GB 3gs with 500mins and 500MB data i think it a pretty big jump lol

I'm liking the look of the same three contract with the 32gb black.
I shall be queuing next Friday morning to buy one at my local 3 store.
I've got an iPad 3 with them and have never had a problem in the 4 months I've had it, nor have I ever failed to get signal even where my iPhone 4 on voda gets no signal (like where I am typing this on the iPad now).
Mines the same, one said despatched but after my card blocked and I re-authorised its back to processing
