I did.
I started trying to order about 5 minutes before midnight PST. I was on the business site. I could have ordered a new line, but every time I would get to the choose phone option for an upgrade and would try and change from the blackberry page, I got an application error screen after about 3 minutes. I finally gave up around 1am.
I tried again this morning around 6:30 PST and was able to upgrade both lines, but I still got application errors on pages a couple of times.
FYI, the Apple website seemed much faster, but didn't recognize that my lines were upgradeable. It probably doesn't work with business accounts.

Ended up working out well for me. I jumped on a little before 3AM and everytime I tried ordering through Verizon I kept getting a Server busy error screen, needless to say I was frustrated.

I jumped onto Apples site and did the same thing, when I attempted ordering, THAT site went down.

I played around with refreshing Verizon for a little bit again, went back to Apple put the order in, and all was good to go, I was VERY happy I was able to save that $50.

Can't order

I keep trying and trying to order the iphone. I got the email from Verizon
saying I could order today. I keep getting the same 'a error has occured' message. I tried to order through Apple but then I get a message saying that iphone reservations are not available. Help!!! What on earth do I do?

verizon's website kept getting stuck on the shipping page, so I just went to apple's website. It was a little annoying that I had to order one at a time on apple's page but they are ordered now I just need to wait

The exact experience I had....tried and tried Verizon and then went to apple. Went back to verizon and then to apple and was able to place order. I was also trying to order on Verizon about 1:55 central time.

It seems to have worked just fine for me. I heard a few friends had a problem. Can you not also place a pre-order via the phone?
