I got up at 1:45 this morning to order my new phone (the lock button on my 5 works maybe 30% of the time so to avoid becoming homicidal, I need a new one ASAP).  What a cluster...the Apple Store on my phone had no availability, on my browser it kept saying they were down...finally I got through on AT&T, and it was SO SLOW....I got a confirmation page and they said they would email me the details...well at 6:15 when I got up for real - no email, and the AT&T page still showed I had an upgrade available...so I ordered again.  Then the email for the FIRST order came through 5 mins later....followed by the email for the second one - UGH.  Luckily it was easy to cancel that duplicate order. 

 

AT&T is so unorganized...I'm going on FI's family plan (my contract expires Sunday), and they told him yesterday that I should order my new phone and lock in a new 2-year, then they can transfer my account over to his.  I have my doubts about that, but worse case scenario is I continue paying for my phone as usual.  Hopefully the AT&T person wasn't full of it, it would be nice to consolidate some stuff, plus I'll get more data on his plan than I do mine.  :D

    Not sure when you got your iPhone 5, but they recently recalled a bunch of batteries from the earliest ones released.  Mine is working much better now that it has been replaced.  (It's actually freaking me out, I used to have to charge my battery on the drive home from work so it didn't die before bed.  Now It's at 75% battery at the end of the day with no charge.  I got so used to charging it, it is weird not to have to do so.)

    I checked mine and the serial number wasn't one that was included.  I'm so used to charging mine all the time too!

    Not sure where you live exactly, but it might be better to go into the AT&T store on the 19th. I got my iPhone 5 the day it came out. I waited on a line that was no longer than 20 minutes, and my phone was ready to go within the half hour. I'm also in NYC, and this was in a midtown location, so you would expect huge crowds. I went on my way to work, a bit earlier, just in case the lines were ridiculous, in which case I would just wait.

    My friend pre ordered the 5 and didn't get it until a month later. I'm planning on going to the AT&T store in Atlantic City where I will be next friday and hope I'm as lucky, if not I guess I'll have to wait. I tried to see if my phone qualified for the battery thing but it did not.

    I think I got mine a couple weeks after the initial launch when I got the 5.  I'm okay with waiting a couple more weeks, but it would be nice to have before my girls' weekend in FL the first week of October!

    I switched from AT&T onto Fi's plan on T-Mobile.

    Pro-tip: they tried to charge me cancelation fees for switching over my number. I told them "but I don't want to cancel my account, I just want to move my number." they said "well with no number we close the account." So I told them "well that's your choice. Not mine. If you wish to cancel my account then that's fine, but since I'm not making the decision I won't pay the cancellation fees." And it was all good!

    Surprisingly enough, my new phone should be here on launch day after all.  I guess I got in and pre-ordered early enough to catch the first shipment out.  It'll be delivered to the house on Friday!
