Assuming that the launch is at 6:00pm I will be there as early as 8:00, anyone else planning on being there.

If you just moved TO virginia beach, clarendon is a bit far (4 hours). The closest apple store to you is MacArthur Center in Norfolk. >20 minutes.

I will be in line at the Clarendon store a little before 6am, FYI.

A friend and I are going to go to Clarendon at around 6 as well. Should be fun!

lermal · Jul 9, 2008, 08:52 AM

I'll be at the Clarendon store as well.

I couldn't get over to Clarendon this morning, but I'd love to hear any reports -- what the crowd was like, how fast (or slow) the buying process is going, what the supply looks like.

(And I'm insanely jealous of you folks who were able to get there this morning.)

was just there... line was wrapped around all the stores... almost 5th avenue worthy

mlvenan · Jul 11, 2008, 02:31 PM

Can anyone give any idea as to how the line is at Clarendon and if they have sold out of any of the iPhones?

UltraSPARC · Jul 11, 2008, 04:05 PM

I work right down the street, I can confirm the line is wrapped around the shopping center and to the crate and barrel at around 12pm. I just called and they told me yes the do have them in stock, and that "the line is about 4 hours deep".

JonboyDC · 05:47 PM

Thanks for the update.

And now (at 5:45) I'm here -- the line still stretches to B&N, but it seems to be moving steadily (if not quickly).

JonboyDC · Jul 11, 2008, 09:36 PM

There are still around 100 people in line, and they say they are definitely closing at 11:00. I wouldn't bet against a riot breaking out. (They are also running low on 16 gig black models.)

UltraSPARC · Jul 12, 2008, 12:32 AM

So I took the plung and I went... 4 hours was an understatement!!! I got there at 5:15 and got out at 11:30. I must say they really needed about twice as many employees but all is well. Was it worth it? HELLS YES!!!! I'm writing this post right now on my new iPhone :-D this thing blow my treo 755p out of the water! The line was still deep when I got in (around 10:30), but fear not everyone that got turned away, they have a boat load of them left. I did not see any shortages what so ever. Good luck! I hope you enjoy your iPhone as much as I am!

hey, this the network ops manager? i was inline with you i believe for most of the time. i had the brown shirt on, my boy was on my iphone talking to att forever about the primary care holder ****.

i ALMOST didnt walk out with one. my fan account was still blocking the upgrade/swap from going through, but finally i had another apple rep call business care and they forced it through.

i would have been livid if i didnt walk out with one after being in line for like 4.5 hours.

you end up getting the white 16gb?

JonboyDC · Jul 12, 2008, 11:43 AM

Heh. I was the shaved-head guy standing right behind you. I got out at 10:40. I was going to come mock you for taking so long before I left, but it seemed unkind. (Did you pal get everything worked out?)

(And yes, the 5 hours was worth it.)

UltraSPARC · 01:53 AM

LOL sup guys!!! Hells ya I got the white one... I know I was a bit up in arms about it, but i like it in my nice clear case... Ya I saw you sitting aroung on your phone for the time being. I was gonna wait around but i was tired man! Next time you wanna wait in line for the next iphone we should meet up agian!!! Right now i still have the second number, but i'm calling att tomorrow to get it switched over. Give me a call on your new *black* iphone, let's get some drinks! :-D 703.346.9348

PS My room mate is jealous! Silly iPod Touch...
PSS I was consulting all day, and the batt. held up well even though i was playing with it the entire time!
