Verizon iPhone 5 Pre-Order - apple.com or verizonwireless.com?

I'm planning on signing a new contract with Verizon (not currently a customer) and pre-ordering iPhone 5… Will it be best to go through apple.com or verizonwireless.com at 3am, or is there no difference?

Do it through verizon because Apple will just hand you the phone and then you will have to go to verizon to sign a contract and activate your service on the phone, when you can just pick up the phone at verizon and sign up at the same time.

  • Why does .verizonwireless keep raising the price of cell phone service? They wanted to charge me $ 60.00 for singleline? And like $ 1000.00 for for a iphone. The phone company use to charge $ 20.00 a month. Why does a verizonwireless phone have to cost over $ 1000.00? It can be in china for about $ 20.00 dollars. Why are their phones so expensive?
  • When the heck is apple going to let people pre order the iphone 5? What time do you know that the will open it? They were supposed to at midnight and I've been waiting for 31 minutes now.
  • Should I pre-order the iPhone 5 online or wait until the launchdate? Ok so here's the problem, I'm looking to get the iPhone 5 on a new 2year contract with Verizon & I have no credit backgroundd cause I'm 20 so I heard they would charge me for the phone & I guess like $400 cause I don't have any credit. I'm not sure how this all works or if I should wait till it comes out & go purchase it at the store but not sure if they would do all the same? Lots of answers with detail would be awesome! A deposit of what? How much?
  • Should I pre order the iphone 5? I figured this was a no-brainer, but when I went to pre-order it, they said it will be shipped in 14-21 business days. So I would be receiving it well after the September 21 release date. Will I be able to get my hands on one on the actual release date, or are they going to be sold out everywhere? I would probably be going later on in the day because of work if that makes any difference.
