I pre ordered mine today, after hours of trying online with Apple.
Only after hitting enter on the shopping cart realizing that they had one letter wrong in my ATT billing address (the one they use to ship to) and ATT is still having so many slow site issues that I still can not fix it.
I guess I will have to try again after things calm down a bit, which probably wont be until late tonight.
There was so many people ordering online from Apples site after 1AM this morning, that eventually after many slow responses and OOOops! statements from Apple, the site crashed. Most of it was the shopping cart portion of the site which caused peoples orders not to continue through. As far as the authorizing that Apple cross checks through ATT's system, that all seemed to be working, slow, but at least working. Eventually Apple closed the site down for repairs/updates around 4AM.
