Im in Boston, MA. What time, if anyone knows yet, will I be able to pre-order my iPhone 5?
iPhone 5-OTHER
I talked to an Apple Rep and he said that although there is no specific time for the Apple Online store to start taking pre orders he strongly suggested that I check the online store at about 12:01am PST since that is when both Sprint and At&t are starting to take preorders. Which would be 3:01 eastern time.
That is exactly what I was told as well. Hopefully a more definitive time will be disclosed later today.
so does this apply to buying them from the apple onlinestore and being an att customer
I believe so. I explained my situation (current AT&T customer, switching to Verizon with the iPhone 5). They said no problem, can order through Apple, suggesting as shown above when to call.
Yeah because I am a Sprint customer and I am buying the iPhone 5 from the Apple Online Store.
I heard orders can be taken starting at 11:42 AM in Boston, but not a second before! đ

One is not beneficial over the other. Go with whatever route you are most comfortable. You will end up in the same place, but know this: Whichever route you choose on Friday, it will be very congested with purchase traffic.
On Friday, there will be a ton of postings here about purchase difficulties, delivery delays, when do I get my stuff, etc. It's quite predictable.
What time can I preorder my iPhone 5?
