Was anyone able to reserve T-Mo jet black for pick up?

I'm curious if anyone out there was able to reserve a Jet Black iPhone on T-Mobile for In-Store pickup via the Apple Upgrade Program.

I wasn't slow but stock seemed non-existent for In-Store pickup... I was able to buy one outright for shipping in 2-3 weeks...but I don't think I'll be able to get that one converted to Uograde Program payments by returning and re-buying :(

I'm sure there are people who were able to reserve a jet black iPhone from T-mobile. Hopefully, those that were able to will reply soon.

I am with ATT but could not get a jet black for in store. I was on the system right at release time and couldn't swing it. It was frustrating.

A coworker of mine was able to at least get an AT&T Jet Black shipped on release day, but he isn't doing the upgrade program. I have a feeling AT&T stock is much larger than T-Mo though.

I talked to a customer service rep at Apple and they advised me that I could indeed bring the shipped phone to the store, return it and rebuy it on the spot. I have my doubts about that but I have the chat transcript saved in my email...

I'm probably going to end up camping out for 18 hours (something I thought I was done with!). At this point I feel like I need to have a script run to reserve the stupid thing because a human seems inadequate. At least I'll be able to buy two phones that way on release day and hopefully turn one around for profit...

I'm chatting about this with my coworker now actually and he said the date for a jet black was late October, early November so he went with the regular black.
