if you in dallas, where are you getting your phone, at a apple store, (highland park, northpark, and willowbend)? or at a cingular/at&t store?

jossshr · Jun 18, 2007, 01:29 PM

I'm going to go to an at&t store. Probably the AT&T Experience store in Northpark. But if I was going to an Apple store, then I would go to Northpark also. That way you don't have to wait outside if you get there before 6:00, unlike the one on Knox

So they let you into Northpark at 6am? If thats the case then we would camp at the Apple Store in there. Northpark is so nice anyway. I would be perfect. I just have to make sure my girl doesnt lose her spot in line to the Guess store

i think he probably meant 6pm. but you can get in pretty early (mall walking old ladies)

damn. looks like there's gonna be some competition here in dallas. i was hoping not.

retrospects · Jun 18, 2007, 01:40 PM

hah yeah northpark is nice, i think willowbend is nice too an its like 5 min from me, and its really big!(the apple store) may be bigger than highland park-knox

I meant 6pm (since that is when it is released. But I imagine if you plan on camping out all day, then you could get in the mall pretty early. I think they open it early in the morning for employees and mall walkers. I would definitely prefer to hang out inside northpark, rather than outside at Knox. Plus if the apple store runs out, there is an AT&T store inside the mall too.

kalamus · Jun 18, 2007, 01:30 PM

Trying for the UP location on Knox. What are you thinking? My girlfriend said she would wait in line until I got off work

. I really dont want to camp at AT&T for sure. I dont want to have to deal with them at all. I currently have Sprint on a contract for another few months and I despise them. My Sprint phone will be going on "vacation" until its contract is up.

retrospects · Jun 18, 2007, 01:34 PM

depends on how my day works out there is a cingular store on beltline in addison that is right next to the tattoo shop i will be at that day, there or a cingular store on preston by my appt. so everyone is going to the apple store huh?

clevin · Jun 18, 2007, 01:36 PM

no money for it, knox/north park are equally far for me.

cmschmidt · Jun 18, 2007, 01:37 PM

not sure yet where i'm gonna go. theres a few corp stores near me (downtown). and the plethora of apple stores helps.

What Apple Stores are you talking about? I only know of 4 in the DFW area. Knox, Northpark, Willow Bend and Southlake.

Im thinking about buying online as well. Depends on how bad the line is at the stores.

i didn't even know about southlake. but 3 apple stores in such a small area i would consider a plethora. especially for not really being a HUGE city like new york or LA.

jossshr · Jun 18, 2007, 02:12 PM

I doubt southlake will be too crowded. Doesn't seem like the type of people who will camp out for the iphone are too prevalent there. Of course you have to drive to southlake.

You would be surprised. Southlake is like a mini-plano

jl234 · Jun 18, 2007, 02:33 PM

I'm going to be at the apple store in southlake starting around noon. I think it's better than the downtown stores because everyone commutes out of there.

mrowl · Jun 18, 2007, 03:25 PM

I will be at Southlake, because it is the closest. And I bet it will be packed. Its the only store that serves the west side of DFW.

retrospects · Jun 18, 2007, 03:50 PM

i can spit on willow bend and its the biggest i have seen up here so far!

cdewitt · Jun 18, 2007, 05:13 PM

im thinking of going to northpark.... although i live in fort worth. i figure since its in the mall no camping so i wont have to lose sleep lol

irinestine · Jun 24, 2007, 07:16 PM

I'll be camping at Willow Bend. I called the mall management and was told that the doors to the mall will open at 8AM as usual. We are free to wait outside the Apple store as long as we don't obstruct the mall walker path.

Get this. I contacted the Apple store and as of 2 hours ago, they STILL have no idea what the plan is as far as crowd control, line inside/outside, etc. I'll be there at 8AM. That's what vacation days are for!

Being there at 8am wont be necessary all that will do is cause people to get in line earlier because they will think they are losing out. Plus, it is being said that Apple stores wont allow folks to line up too early. I guess we will see but lining up that early, by all accounts so far, will be silly.

Lets not make this a PS3 launch were ebay'ing fools will be in the lines early because someone lined up at 8am.

ToddW · Jun 24, 2007, 09:39 PM

i will pick mine up in southlake if there are no rebates associated with AT&T that way i can get my corporate discount with apple.

EdwardG87 · Jun 24, 2007, 09:59 PM

I'm not sure what I'll do yet. I haven't read all of this topic, so maybe doing so will give me some clue as to what most people will be doing.

Northpark sounds good to me, but that's mostly because I know how to get there quickly (I'm new to the area, mostly) and there's an AT&T store nearby. However, NorthPark could get really crowded, as to where other apple stores might not.

appletipper · Jun 25, 2007, 06:52 PM

I work at the AT&T store in Denton, TX off 288.
we just got 250 of the iphones today, they came in a brown box and stored in the safe.
