I skipped the 3GS and 4S, and if this new one looks like the 4S I won't, I upgrade to get something new not this same exact phone with a few tweaks :/
Same story as OP. I remember waiting in line for like four hrs & getting updates from the manager on what size everyone wanted & them letting the front line people know their size would be a sure thing etc. Fun times... Until the preorders, man did that make waiting in line seem horrible. Lol
I've had every single iPhone on launch day with the exception of the 2G because I was in a coma following a car accident, but it was waiting for me as soon as I got home from the hospital.... True story
I got the original iPhone (2G) the week before the 3G came out, when the O2 shops were clearing them out for £159, to make way for the 3g.
I stuck with it until the 3GS came out and I bought a friend's 3G as he was upgrading to a 3GS.
I stuck with that until the i4, which I got on release day and I bagged a free 4S in May this year for converting my 1 month rolling SIM Only contract to a 2 year contract.
I'm with 3 and had no plans to leave due to the unlimited data, free tethering and 2000 minutes allowance, so I thought I might as well take advantage of the free 4S and lock in.
I had it unlocked by 3 immediately and will be selling it and getting an i5, again SIM Free and unlocked from Apple.

Does not count.
This counts - glad you are out of your coma.

I am not in this club, but I've had an iPhone since day 6. They came out on June 29th and I was one of the on the fence people. I was at work and called an Apple Store on July 5th and they had enough in stock that I would get one if I went straight there. My wife thought I was nuts, then about 2 months later she bought one. 
I skipped the 3G and pre-ordered a 3GS. Pre-ordered a 4 and skipped the 4S. Very excited about this new one!

Yes. Every one first day - except this one. The thrill is gone (mostly due to leaks) trusted or not. Went with the S3 this time, due to the WIDTH.
I hope the phone is exacty like the leaks because it sounds like so many people like it. I just want somthing wider and new.
Taller was not going to get it for me. Ill get the new one if its wider and larger than 4.3" - then weigh the differences between the S3 and the new iPhone and sell the lesser product (Im availiable for two phone line upgrades anyway). Just dont think apple is going to up the size any time soon.
Still exciting to see the excitment here.

Nope, I bought the original or "classic" as I like to call it, in February of 2008. Then I got the 3GS on launch day; stood in a short line for it. Then last year I pre-ordered the 4S and had it delivered to my home on launch day. Essentially, I just go for every other one based on my two-year contract cycle.
had every iphone and ipad generation. the 4, 4s and ipad2 and 3 all from launch.
apple deserves customers in a big line

Yes but I returned my 4 for antenna issues, and went back to my 3GS. That 3GS has had incredible longevity.
Yup. Me and the GF share a family plan that I pay for. I use whatever upgrade is available, she gets my old phone and I get the new one. She's happy because she never pays, I'm happy because I always have the newest one.
