How Long Was the Wait?

I went to the store at 5AM, and I was the 6th person in line. I was the 4th preorder in line. I left the AT&T store with my activated iPhone 3GS at 7:15.

 

I waited for 12 hours. I was preauthorized but the master list that they used to separate people between regular folks and preauthorized/preordered folks did not include my name, so I had to wait a little longer.

In hindsight, I should have come in at 2am. The crowd didn't kick in until that time.

 

I got to my ATT store at 930PM last night; was second in line behind my brother; third person showed up at 11pm, fourth at midnight, no more people til 5amish. My ATT store only got 3 32 white GB phones in for non pre-orders, and my brother and I and the third person in line each got one of those, so no one here got a 32GB White phone if they didn't pre-order it

 

I showed up at the AT&T store at about 7:05. Maybe 12 people ahead of me.
I was out of the door with my phone by 7:35, so I was pleased.
