Anybody else pre order iPhone 5 @ Best Buy?

I went to Best Buy around 12:00PM CT Friday to pre order my iPhone 5. All they had me do was buy a $50 gift card to reserve my phone. I asked if it will be in the store on the 21st for me to pick up and they just said that I will receive an email when it is there. They said it should be on the 21st, but I was just wondering if anybody else did the same thing I did and when I should expect to get my phone? While I was in the store they had also just received a shipment of iPhone 5 cases already!

On the topic of BestBuy, would anyone know if BestBuy can give Verizon upgrade prices?

Thanks! Sounds like that might be the way to go vs waiting in line all night!

I have always purchased my phones directly from Verizon, but have heard that Best Buy is the best way to go because of their Black Tie insurance plan. So I figured that I would give them a try and preorder my first iPhone from there. I will be very happy if all goes as planned and I get my phone on the 21st!
