Log on to Verizonwireless.com and I'm sure there will be some sort of advertisement about the iphone 5 on Friday.

honestly...  Better to order it from www.Apple.com.  They will ALWAYS have a larger inventory than the carriers will.  So it'll be easier to end up NOT on back order status going through there.

Yeah but you don't have to face the backorder situation when pre-ordering, that's the point of it, so you get your device before the people that don't pre-order

Yes you do.

If Verizon say they get 100K for pre-order and 110k pre-order through Verizon...  10K people will be on back order.  This happened with the 4S on all carriers the first month after release a lot of people pre-ordered and ended up on back order.

A lot of people were peeved at the fact they preordered, and they were on backorder, and people were walking into stores and getting their 4S' right then and there.  Some people had to wait 2-3 weeks before getting theirs.

How does it work with a Verizon contract (due for an upgrade now) if you preorder from apple? Do you just take the phone into verizon and get the contract activated for the new phone? Or is it best to preorder straight from Verizon?
