A Verizon spokesperson told CNN only that "Dates are based on order volumes so customers have a realistic expectation as to when they will get their new iPhone 5.

An Apple spokesperson told AllThingsD that the company was "blown away" by the response. Eager iPhone fans who simply must get an iPhone on day-one might have better luck with one of the stores offering in-store pre-orders.

Best Buy isn't taking orders for the iPhone 5 online before its Sept 21 launch, but customers can go into a Best Buy location to pre-pay for the device and return to pick it up on launch day. The advanced difficulty level -- standing up, getting dressed, leaving the house, commuting to a Best Buy -- might mean less competition for pre-order units.

Walmart is offering in-store pre-orders for the first time, Bloomberg reported , but it appears the retail giant is only selling the 16GB iPhone 5, not the larger capacity versions. There's also the often overlooked Radio Shack. Radio Shack locations are taking pre-orders in person, but the locations usually only get a small number of units on the first day.

What you want to now do is come up with text shortcuts to fill out common fields as quickly as possible. Now, when the iPhone 5c pre-order pages go live, you can just enter these shortcuts instead of doing a lot of typing.

And judging by the last iPhone and iPad launches, Apple has finally figured out how to build enough of a new device to go around. So a little prayer and superstition never hurts, does it?
