No long lines tomorrow !!!

So if I am having it shipped to my house do I still have to go to an Apple store for activation? Or can I activate thru iTunes like we did with the 2G?

Because it goes without saying that this will be hot. It doesn't bode well for a manufacture/retailer to say "Your iPhone is guaranteed all day.*"


* BUT THE LINES ARE GONNA BE R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S if you aren't in line by the time you got this e-mail YOU AINT GETTIN' 1 HAHAHAHA! LOL TOOO BAD

But maybe i'm wrong.

Also, of course the pick up line is going to be longer than the walk up line, but it doesn't matter because the walk up line is going to be moved to the BACK of the pickup line. So there are alot of different metrics to consider. As a note i'll mention that I actually preoreded two iPhones when I only needed one and they called me up today to ask if I needed two. I told them no and they said they will return the other one to stock, (so someone out there will score a 16 gig black thanks to me). So take the fact that they have sufficient pre order stock, plus an undisclosed quantity for walk ins who knows. I do know that If they run out of walk in quantities and customers are there with cash in hand they will start picking from the reserve pile. Can't turn customers away when you have stock 'set aside' but unpaid for.

Rubbish...I think any one who has reserved one, will get it if they go to the store tomorrow, I seriously doubt that the waiting period in the lines will get longer than 45 minutes, atleast where I am.

I'm still getting there early, waiting in line is part of the fun.

I got my email from ATT saying my iphone is ready to be picked up. I cant wait to get it tomorrow. I am going to go around 8ish.

Got mine this morning with about 30 folks in line ahead of me. 15 Reservations, about 15 non reserved.

There were about 50 or so people in the reserve line and only about 20 without.

Took about 1 hour from store open to get in the store. Activation took about 2 minutes with about 5-10 spend on purchase (I bought 2).

Super fast and easy. Nothing like 3G launch day, where we spent 6 hours+ in the July heat.

PS - If you reserved you were GUARANTEED a phone that you reserved no questions asked. The store had no 32GB Black phones for non-reserved folks.
