How badly did people want a Verizon iPhone 4? Well, iPhone 4 preorders set a record for the most first-day sales for any device in the company's history...before 5am.

Yes, between the hours of 3am and 5am more people ordered iPhones than had ever ordered any new device on the first day of availability at Verizon. Verizon expects to ship a whopping 21 million iPhones this quarter alone, so yeah, it's safe to say there was some pent up demand there.
