Lucky... For some reason BofA flagged my Iphone transaction as suspicious activity, cleared that up, and now I'm at the bottom of the line. FML.
Think I may cancel my pre-order and try my luck in store in a few weeks.
Either way, I need to pick up something else to use in the mean time. I've never lost a cell phone before, and man I feel totally crippled without it - I don't know a single phone number.

I also ask them don't they see the many purchases from Apple through out the course of the month, the App Store purchases?? Not to mention, that only one item is being ordered and sent to my address that BoA has on file.

BoA has done that with of my purchases from Apple. They tell me it's for my own good. I tell them they are just covering their asses, not mine.

I order stuff with my virgin america card...if something gets flagged I get an immediate email and phone to approve or deny it. So much better (barclay banks)

One of many reasons I HATE BoA...and its a minor one. I just took a survey from them and blasted them in it. Hell, I only have an account open so I can use my card to get in and use the ATM after hours with my other bank (that reimburses for all atm fees)

You don't need a BOA card to open the ATM room door. Any ATM/credit card should work.

I'm Down Right Fierce!
@Jupiter/Sarlacc
Yeah. I was so fucking pissed cause as soon as I realized I lost my cell phone in Vegas last thurs, I went out of my way to make sure I could get to a computer to pre-order the 5 in the first hour.
Either way, guess I'll have to pick something up at the ATT store for a couple weeks, and then return it when the Iphone arrives in store. Only thing that's even semi-appealing is the Galaxy S3, and it feels cheap.

A "travel" case that no one is ever going to use because no one will ever be able to wrap their cable exactly the way it fits in said case

- "Still pictures taken while recording video aren't shot using the normal 8-megapixel Web cam; they're screen captures of the video itself. The aspect ratio is different, and the image quality's a bit weaker."
- "The camera is among the best ever put into a phone. Its lowlight shots blow away the same efforts from an iPhone 4S."
- "On our standard battery rundown test, in which we loop a video with LTE and WiFi enabled and social accounts pinging at regular intervals, the iPhone 5 managed a hugely impressive 11 hours and 15 minutes."

No shipping notice for me from apple

Received FedEx Tracking # for Friday delivery. My iP5 is sitting at the hub in West Chester, PA. I am going to attempt to have the package held at the Commons Blvd Hub in DE. I can pick it up after work.
Usually, one attempt to deliver package must be made before FedEx holds package at hub. Security reasons.
Otherwise, I have to drive home, wait a few hours, then drive back up. Its stupid when I am 5 minutes from the hub from my employer.

Release time for iOS6 today
iOS 6 lands today and is expected to hit at around 10 AM PST, or 1 PM EST, but above we have a list of estimated release times for all countries, cities, and timezones based on release schedules of iOS 5 and iOS 4. The chart is courtesy of AbsintheJailbreak.

I stopped by the local AT&T store on Monday and asked if they will have some iphone 5's on Friday and they told me that the next two shipments are spoken for.. Didn't think they were allowed to assign them before the release date.

Mine is still in TN but it is scheduled for overnight shipping. It says 9/21 by 3:00 PM delivery time. And I got it sent to where I work, we usually get the FedEx guy around 10:00 AM here.
