If yes, do they open the shopping entrance early only for iPhone buyers? Anybody remember last year?

I went to the launch last year at Willow Bend in Plano, TX they made us all stand outside at the entrance by the food court in a line and let us in shortly before 8am they had it pretty well organized only letting in like 10 people at a time to form the line inside the mall. I kinda miss not doing it this year just reordered online. boring.. :p

Thank you. Nice pictures. :)

I am guessing there may be less than 50 people by 7 am, and with so few people, the mall may not open its doors early this year. I don't know.

You should show up between 5-6am. I got there at around 6:15am and that pic of the line is looking back. In front of me there were about a 100 people already waiting. But rest assured if you're waiting in line at an Apple store you can pretty much be assured they will not run out of iPhones on launch day. And I think this year things will go much smoother, I don't think they are trying that in store activation crap again and they aren't releasing a new OS and mobile me service on the launch day like last time. AT&T store that's a different story regarding the amount of stock they have.
