well all i can say is SHIT.

I hit an ATT store at 9am, already a line out front waiting for their SECOND shipment (first had sold out already). Was too hot for me to wait and I had an appointment at 10am so off I went.

Few hours (and one big ass sale by Craiger I might add :-0) later I hit up the Apple store in our mall. The line stretched around the ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE MALL. Seriously, from one side to the other, you couldn't see the end of the line from the store.

So F*ck it, I'll go enjoy the app store on my EDGE model for a few days till this shit dies down.

I'm totally amazed at how many people are out to buy this on day one. It's more insane than the first launch by far.

A friend of mine bought one this morning. He couldn't activate at the store, but he was activated at home after only about an hour of waiting.

good write up of the entire experience here: AppleInsider | Notes from our experience activating iPhone 3G at Apple retail

(but they were near the front of the crowd, and didn't experience too much of an issue with the activation)

personally, I'm torn on if I'm going to get it or not...I hate my current phone, and am going to get a new one...but I...just...can't...bring...myself...to get an iphone...meh, I also hate playing the waiting game for if/when Android comes out, but there are many issues regarding that as well...

and don't get me started on Nokia and SE...while I like both companies tremendously, all of their products seem to have a fatal flaw (whether it be price, design, features, etc)

Joe, go to an ATT store and try one out. they have the kiosks loaded with 3G models. Same with the Apple stores, but you can't get into those without knocking a few hippies in the hacky sack.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I just think the iPhone is probably the best choice right now considering the price and what you get. I'm most likely going to bite.

Welcome to SwitchEasy!

I stumbled across that site looking for cases and pouches for the Nike+ Sportskit. I think you should make some sort of iPhone accessories thread so people can find out the best accessories or at least argue about it

Also, if anyone knows any good Nike+ transmitter/sensor pouches or cases, let me know.
