Looking forward to my upgrade. Worked out a deal with my dad he goes to the Apple store 2am on the 21st and I buy him an iPhone 5 for waiting in line for me. My iPhone 4 home button has been broken for months.

Guys, try this fix for the unresponsive iPhone home button. Worked a treat for me
From time to time, the iPhone Home button can become less responsive to clicks, and pressing the button will either result in a delay, lag, or sometimes complete unresponsiveness requiring multiple clicks. While this could be symptomatic of a hardware issue caused by moisture damage or dropping the phone, sometimes you can fix the response problem with the following sequence:
Open a default iOS application, such as Stocks, Calculator, or Weather
Press and hold down the Power button until the “Slide to Power Off” dialog appears, then release
Now press and hold the Home button until the “Slide to Power Off” screen disappears, force quitting the application
Why this works to fix the buttons responsiveness isn’t entirely clear, because the procedure actually just force quits the application you launched in the first step. This procedure supposedly recalibrates the Home button. Whatever is going on behind the scenes, it does seem to work and definitely has made mine seem to respond quicker.This should also help the iPad and iPod touch home buttons as well. If you try this and still have problems with the home button being unresponsive, you may just need to get it repaired.
Also, there is a "spare", on screen home button in your settings if this is a hardware fault.

Thanks, Mega. Seems to make my Home button work better.
I've got some issues going on with my headphone jack, but my phone's a work phone, so I'm subject to the company's upgrade policy. Grr.
This is why I haven't put my iPad on the company plan.

That is the correct time. Good luck, fellas.

Yeah I was just on site. Will order mine today at some point. Which one did you all get?

I managed to get in during that first hour too thankfully. Black, Verizon, went with 64GB as my music collection is getting pretty big…
Was a last minute decision on the black though. Had been tempted by the white one for the first time with an iPhone.

You guys keep big parts of your collections on your phone? I'm using iTunes match, so don't keep much on my 16GB since I can access my entire library anyway.
Then again, my company pays for my data, so it's never a big concern.

Congrats to everyone who escaped the bullshit (read: creating demand)…

I ordered from Apple and it says shipping in 2-3 weeks. Got a black 64gb. Apparently, apple was surprised by the pre-order demand.
