A friend of mine pre-ordered one at the same Best Buy that I went to on Wednesday and she got a call today as well to schedule her appointment which is at 12:30.
Best Buy totally screwed me. I pre-ordered with them on the 15th; it was late in the day (5pm) so I asked the guy specifically if I would be *guaranteed a phone. He said yes, that Best Buy has a central database to track how many phones they'll get on launch day and how many pre-orders they're getting -- as soon as they reach the limit they'll shut down the pre-orders.
Fast forward to yesterday and I call them for an appointment time -- they tell me they have limited availability and that I won't be getting a phone. Words can't describe how pissed I am...

Wait it out. I was in that same boat yesterday.
- Pre-ordered right before closing on the 15th at a relatively small store.
- Yesterday I rec'd word that I was actually bumped down the list from 7 to 8 to an undetermined number (wow @ that).
- Rec'd a call 10 mins. ago setting up an appointment for 2 hours from now (the store opened 15 mins. ago).
On top of it all, I ordered the seemingly rarer 32GB in black.
Moral of the story: wait it out.
Good point -- guess I shouldn't have blasted my local Best Buy on their Facebook page then huh? lol
I got mine at 10:15.....my store said they got 60 32g in and 10 16g. All pre-orders were taken care of.
My Best Buy had enough to fill all pre-orders and had enough left over to give everyone (about 30 people) who stood in line all night. The guy said they sold out at about 10 or 10:30.
