Verizon Wireless and AT&T have pushed back shipment dates on iPhone 5 as pre-orders continue to pile up. AT&T's Web site says every configuration of the iPhone 5 will ship in 14 to 21 business days, which means some orders could arrive as late as October. Verizon says the phone will be delivered on September 28. The shipment delays follow similar messages found on Apple's own Web site. They underscore the continued demand and appeal of the iPhone 5, even if some critics have considered it a disappointing upgrade. Sprint Nextel, however, isn't seeing any delays, and is promising an iPhone 5 by launch day next Friday. The frenzy over the iPhone 5 will continue into next week, with Apple fanboys and gadget enthusiasts lining up at Apple and carrier stories to get their iPhone 5s. The carriers should all see significant growth in device upgrades and new customer contracts signed as a result of the new iPhone. But they will also take a financial hit for the subsidies they pay to Apple.

^ great. That means my BF (who has Sprint) will probably get it before me (who has AT&T).

Just put in my pre-order this morning! I've had the same phone for the past two years and it was starting to lag, so I was due for an upgrade. So happy that my upgrade eligibility coincided with the new release.

Me too! My contract on my iPhone 4 ended last week and my home button is starting to go bad. I think I'll wait to get it at the store instead of pre ordering.

I thought about pre-ordering this morning and decided against it. I got the new ipad when it came out this year and I love it, so I'm apple-satiated at the moment.

I do intend to get the 5 later, maybe for christmas or my birthday. I have a droid x and it's 3g, but it works fine so I'm okay with an old phone.

I preordered my white 64g iPhone 5 from VZW Order was completed at 3:05est time. Expected date 9/21. I ordered my 4 and got it 2 days before the launch date. So we shall see!!!

Can't wait to get it!!

I preordered my iPhone 5 at about 3:20 est from apple.ca and as of this morning it says "preparing for shipment" as well as "holiday shipping" instead of the standard shipping method. Also, "delivers: 9/21". I'm so excited to get it!! I just have to go pick up a nanosim somewhere now!

Awesome it is very exciting!!

Can't wait to get mine!

I'm so excited about the iphone 5 I have been waiting forever for this phone to come out so I can switch from blackberry. I have a question though, if I order it online it says expected delivery 3-9 oct. Do you think I should go ahead and order it online or would it be better to just go in the store to buy one? How long do the crazy lines at Apple last for a new iphone - a few days? Lol

found this interesting ... anyone upgrading to an iphone 5... and is debating selling their old one ..

On my way to work, I came across crazy people with no lives, already lining up at 5th avenue Apple Store in NYC

^^^omg!

After almost 3 years on Android I finally upgraded my phone to iPhone 5. Anybody with Verizon? My order status hasn't changed since the day I pre-ordered it on Friday, with estimate delivery by 9/21.

^^^Just checked mine and it has no info whatsoever.

What cases are you guys getting???
