Chicago, IL
I decided to check out an AT&T store in Lincolnwood IL, figuring that the Chicago stores and the Apple stores would be mobbed. I got there exactly at 8, 75 people in front of me. About 45 minutes in, the AT&T rep does a count and says they only have enough phones for 70. I decide to stay in line ... the line slowly moves up, no one leaves, no one decides that because they didn't have their favorite phone choice they'd leave.

Only a few people left front of me 2 1/2 hours later, just about time when AT&T is going to start taking orders for future drop shipments, a FedEx guy arrives ... with 10 more phones.

Amazingly enough, I got one ... an 8 gig, which wasn't my first choice, but still incredible luck.
