Actually I'm in a LTE market so that alone is huge. Plus I like a lot of the new features as well as the camera and FaceTime over cellular. I travel a lot and always don't have wifi so it's great to see the kids at night. Plus I sold my 4s on gazelle so the new phone only costing me $20.
For some reason, when I was preordering at 3am eastern last night, the apple store allowed me to preorder the iPhone 5 on my iPad, but not my Macbook. Not sure why, but I'm happy I had my iPad on me! My iPhone 5 will be shipped to me on 9/21!!!
Ordered iPhone 5 16GB at the German Apple online store 1 min. after pre-sale was available, went through the ordering without hickups, delivery date October which sucks. Later I erased the adapter which I ordered with the phone. Delivery date came down to 9/21 right away.
Ordered it thur apple.com, at 3:45am EST..np. Sent home, not going to wait in line nor waste my time waiting inline for the phone when I can get it delivered home instead.
ORDERED 1 BLACK & SLATE 32GB THRU APPLE.COM... ORDER PROCESSED AT 3:23AM EST SITE WOULDNT COME UP ON CHROME UNTIL 3:10AM EST... SAYS IT WILL BE DELIVERED ON THE 21ST... HOPING THERE WILL BE SOME EARLY DELIVERIES LIKE LAST YEAR THOUGH :-)
Got mine in at 3am exactly. But was not able to choose pick up at store. It was defaulted to shipping to me only. Which kinda sux cause I've been at release day for every phone/iPad since '07. There's a group of us that camp out. It's kinda become a tradition. And being in line all night and when the doors open is actually kinda fun. They (the stores) pull out all the stops. Catered food, DJ, games. It's actually kinda fun.
Why would you preorder to pick it up at the madhouse of a store? If you were smart you'd get it delivered to your house and if you were a real fanboy you'd take the day off. I work from home so I'm good.

I ordered mine on the website at the end of the first hour of Pre-orders. By that time they had already pushed shipping time to two weeks. (for more visit a5sixdotcomslashnews.
No problem here...got my black 64GB using Apple Store app on my iPhone @ 12:05AM (PST) and a 64GB white one using Firefox two minutes later...both will be delivered on the 21st....
Was placing the order wright after apple store was up at 1AM (before 1am store wasn't operational), it showed that it'll be delivered on 21st, picked my phone, and it shows that it'll ship in 2 weeks plus 5 days shipping:(( Went back to original page-still shows "delivery on 21st". Ordered anyways but hekka pissed.
They screw me as I have 2 address and it was set one as billing the other shipping and I couldn't change it the system made me do my billing address now I have to drive 40 each way to pick this shit up
got 1 white to ship by 9/21 and my other black one which was reserved won't ship till 2 weeks?? wtf i had it reserved within 5-10 mins from it opening on apple. lame..
Same here. No other computer worked to place my order, but my iPhone 4S via the 'apple store' went thru easily after tryin so hard to use other methods. Order places at 12:42 am PST. :-)
