For what it's worth, I've seen several references on Twitter tonight that Apple sold out of the pre-orders for next week's phones within 60 minutes. I was able to pre-order mine over the phone with Apple several hours ago, and it should be sent out within 2-3 weeks. Though the wait is a little long, at least I'll be garanteed an iPhone 5, unlike the many people I have a feeling who will show up the day it is in stores and have to go back and forth to/from the store, or from store to store, in order to find one in stock. It will be hard to wait, but at least I can put iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 next week and start playing with things a little.
