Thanks man!

Coming off android and the first thing I miss is the swype style keyboard and also the notification screen. Otherwise seems pretty solid but my bank balance is crying.

Online at an att store in nyc. I'm 7th in line, pretty confident.
Fuck. Guy just came out and said they didn't get any and to try a store in a big mall... Would have lined up elsewhere if I'd known but I think I'm probably screwed

At an apple store? They'll all get one.
Fuck dude! I'm so sorry.
Manager just showed up here; they have 5S's, just no Gold. He seemed to indicate he's got more than enough for the 6 of us in line. You could probably book it up here and be ok dude!
Of course, I couldn't personally promise anything. A wave of people could show up anytime.
Edit- 8 people in line now.
Edit- 11 people in line now. Here they all come...
At an Apple Store? In California no less?
They probably have like 300-500. I'm sure that whole line is fine.
Come to think of it, probably 1000+. What store on Earth would have a higher priority than a Californian/NY Apple Store? lol

Called the Apple store in Stockholm and they were like "herp, derp iPhone 5s? Derp, no... sorry, but herp, you can buy iPhone 5 right now if you'd like that! Derp"
You really think a Cali apple store has less then a 100 iPhones? The apple store is the main reason the carrier stores are getting less.

Yikes, was actually about to hop on the subway and come up but it looks like I'll be too late. Wish the communication from Rogers was better on this one

I just ordered a space grey 5S from my carrier, gold and silver didn't sound good in terms of stock becuase the woman on the phone said "oh good, you're lucky, space grey can be delivered on Monday" and their site just says "slower delivery times" for the other two colours. Feels good to be boring!
Three UK, if anyone else was looking to upgrade after work or whatever.

I don't know why you're surprised by that really. It's been blasted everywhere that 3/4 of the first batch was space grey. I know this, and I don't even own or want a iPhone.
14 people now. It seems to have slowed but I imagine a ton will show up at 8am.
I can try and see if he'll tell me how many they have in stock.
Yes. It's 1GB like the original iPhone 5.

I'm not surprised. I knew it would happen, and that's the worst part. Nobody in line believed me. I knew I should have ordered online. I still might.
1gb of slightly faster LPDDR3 DRAM.
yeah it's a tad faster. Least it's something!
Berkeley here. 3 hours till ours opens. I should go get in line soon... waiting on roomate to wake up
Order it, don't settle for what you don't want if your dropping that kind of cash. Yeah you'll have to wait longer now but you'll enjoy it more in the long run.
Shit, awesome. What kind of shipping delivery time on that?
Got off work at 7am and drove by AT&T about 10 people and Verizon easily 2or 3 times as many people waiting there. So glad I went ahead and preordered from work at 3:30 I will have to wait a few days but zero worries about securing a silver 32gb and I'm home and prepping for sleep.
Pumped for this since I'm coming from a iPhone 4.

If I can't get my gold 64 today or tomorrow, I'm probably just going to pass altogether.
I suppose Apple won't have the Genius open today I can't schedule an appointment for today.
I can't schedule an appointment for today.Giving up so easily?
Ah, shit haha. Might head up there now and try my luck, nothing better to do today

I work 60+ hours a week and only get Saturdays off. I'm going to go to a store or two and try my luck. I'm not going to devote all my free time to trying to buy a phone.
Eh? Why do you need to devote all your time to buying a phone?
Order online and wait. Sorted.
No need to go to 100 different shops every day for a phone.
Exactly. What he said above is irrelevant when "online ordering" is an option.
love dat icloud. makes switching so easy.
since i'm setting up an all-new account, my biggest worry is what carrier to use... i think i'll go with AT&T, I don't know what advantages there'd be with Verizon. I'm in the bay area btw, if anyone wants to give me some last second advice

So glad I can dodge any headache by getting the space gray 64gb. Probably one of the least in-demand configurations
Shipping times on VZW's website were the same for 32 and 64GB, at least two weeks to ship. 16GB ships Tuesday. I went 16.

I ended up canceling my Apple Store order since my Verizon order seemed to be shipping sooner (by Monday). I've always had good luck ordering from them in the past. We'll see...
You underestimate Apple ship times.
I've been calling a few Rogers locations around the city, and I'm getting all sorts of answers.
"Only X and Y locations have them."
"No one has them."
"The X location probably have it."
"The Y location doesn't, but the Z location might."
I'm tempted to just place a reservation at the closest store here, but that's an extra $40.
