How does pre-ordering with Apple work?

For people who have previously pre-ordered with Apple (for an iPad or iPhone) or are familiar with their pre-order process, would you mind explaining the process to me?

In other words, will their website lag due to an overload of orders? Will everyone be guaranteed an iPhone 4 on the 15th? Is there limited availability? Will they be depleted out of iPhones if I order an hour after?

I don't care when I get it, but will I be guaranteed one on the pre-order date?

Thanks!

    I'm on the same boat as you mate. Basically during pre-order Apple just wants to know if you are a new customer, or an existing customer who is eligible for an upgrade. They're gonna ask for your name, address, credit card, and exitsting AT&T phone number (if applicable). Then you will choose between having the phone delivered to you on the 24th or whether you would like to pick it up at an Apple or AT&T store.

    I doubt they can guarantee everyone a phone. I don't know how long it would take for them to sell out of pre-order if infact they will sell out. I know there is a one phone per customer limit so that should help you pre-order one.

    Good luck and hope this helped.
