What the fuck.....I preordered mine at like 12:30 PST..................FUCK
Mine went through at 3:35AM (time stamp on confirmation e-mail). It was a white 32GB Verizon model......did you order one of the more popular 16GB models?
No, the 64gb model through the Apple site.
On apple.com? I changed my shipping and billing information this morning on my order I placed at midnight.
Maybe they made less of the 64GB models......not sure what to tell you.

I was able to change it this morning, 4-5 hours after I placed my order.

I keep trying to via apple.com and it says I can't right now and to try again shortly. :|
Ouch. Never mind then. Maybe it's time for a cross border shopping trip? Put those powerful loonies to work.
I did. After i ordered i went into account setting on apple.com and into view orders and edit my shipping address to my work address.
I was able to change my shipping address just now (after getting an error earlier). However, I now need to update my billing info. Between pre-ordering two different Wii Us yesterday and this iPhone, a block was put on my card (thanks to all the $1 test charges). I fixed that, but it isn't processing my new charge yet...
My sister is getting the same error yet i can go in and change it at will.

When people go to their order on Apple (AT&T), what does it say for rate plan? Mine just says 2GB $25, even though I had a $30 3GB plan. Also, that's all it says; nothing about minutes or texting.

Do they change you right away or when it ships?
As soon as you place the order, Apple charges you for the phone.

I just checked my order status and my 32 gig black AT&T phone still says that it is slated for delivery on the 21st. My confirmation was time stamped at 3:23 am eastern time.
wtf, you cant make calls and be on lte at the same time on the verizon iphone 5. that sucks
you cant make calls and be on LTE at the same time on AT&T either. you drop to 3g
Tesco Mobile have just said on Twitter that their tariffs will be released before the end of the weekend.
Just need to hope I manage to get one now, from what they've said on Twitter their stock seems more limited than I thought - the person on live chat seemed to think there was a good chance of getting one, but their Twitter is saying upgrades are prioritised and stock will be limited. Crossing my fingers.

That's not too bad though, at least you have data connectivity. For me at least I'm hardly using my phone for calls, especially extended ones that may require data, so I'm not even sure the Verizon limitation would even be that big of a deal
what happened?

Real talk. I will never upgrade more often than every two years. Ever. I've gotten more than my money's worth out of my iPhone 4 and this jump to the 5 is fucking megaton for me and my needs. I tether daily. On the way INTO work. At work. And then on the way home if there's work I can knock out. I literally live on my phone and I have to. It's a part of my livelihood. LTE + First class apps + The apple "ecosystem" I'm already invested in (itunes, itunes match, icloud, apple tv, macbook...etc) it's a huge upgrade.
it's not. I don't think anyone even realized the limitation existed before AT&T made a commercial about it
Well, they said that I can't change it to in store pickup and they apologize but due to demand I won't get it any faster than Oct 2....blah blah blah
For me it's because I already own tons of stuff in itunes (games, movies, music) and Im just used to having apple everything.
I also like mobile games and while phones like the Galaxy 3 may be up there in terms of performance, no games or apps really take advantage of it like they do with the iPhone.
Ive never liked Android (Ive only owned the original Droid and a Droid Incredible before getting an iPhone 4s) as there phones always seem really sluggish. The Galaxy 3 is different though and feels smooth to me...but it just doesn't have the apps and games that Apple has.
Why not just cancel it and wait in line on the 21 if you want it on that date. Waiting isn't bad either because time flies by very fast.
Most definitely.
3GS to 4S was a huge jump (replaced my 3GS last year with a 4S).
4S to 5 is a pretty decent jump.
Huge jump + decent jump = mindblowing jump
I'm definitely not camping out at the store....I'll just wait. It more pisses me off because it initially said the 21st when I spent the $430 and now it changed.

From Apple? You have to wait for the shipping confirmation first. And it's a slip of paper that you fill out and put on your door.
