I have never had a problem selecting row 1 before upgrades start clearing. Once I tried to give a friend (non preferred) row 1 in advance and the agent told me it was reserved for preferreds.
I log in right now and do a dummy booking in F - I can't select row 1 (I'm lowly SP), was never able to nor could I after being upgraded until 24 hours before departure. Maybe on the phone they can place me there but I don't think so. Two recent award bookings and the agent put me into row 2 on the US segments.
Every time I've been upgraded all of 2008, I've always been placed in row 1 at my window if it was available. I could move myself out of row 1 but could not move back until 24 hours prior. This was the case for PHX-SFO and PHX-MCO round trips last February so for me this setup goes back at least that far.
