Managed to snag myself a pre-ordered iPhone 5.  Apparently the first group to be shipped sold out in an hour.  So proud of myself 

[rocket]

ordered one as well, will see when it will show up, servers are down or slooooow over here, but got at least a order confirmation email…

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

black 32GB, enough for me

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.

@rocket:

Exactly what I was thinking.

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)…

Black 16Gig

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.

there was something in the news that they got 2.000.000 pre-orders in the first 24h…..

I'll stick to my IPhone4 32GB…not feeling the 4S or the new 5...too less updates for my liking so no need to cop a new phone!...

I'll wait for the inevitable 5s next year.

[seawolf]

I might upgrade to the 4s for $99.

Black 32GB. Pre ordered from AT&T store. 2-3 weeks delivery time.

Anyone else download iOS 6?  Apple Maps is absolutely abysmal.  Total embarrassment to their brand…

[urbanwoodsman]

What? Explain please. I mean it can't be nearly as bad as bing's maps…

[GimpKid]

Got iOS 6 earlier. I agree about the maps, actually. Kinda sad. Hopefully Google releases a maps app.

[babyknight]

I don't know how to explain it other than that it is total shit.  There is a 45 page thread devoted to how awful it is on MacRumors.  Examples of problems:  awful quality satellite view; no streetview; directions are apparently a disaster; inaccurate; local towns missing or in the wrong place.  Etc.
