hmmm

oh, I'm a bit nervous, but so far only 3 people in line...with 55 mins to go...also I'm eagerly wait for AT&T staff to come tell non pre-order people where to go...i'm hoping!!(there's an apple store real close, so I'm bet that takes some traffic away from this AT&T store)

Not sure why you didn't just go with the Apple Store then. The other thing going around about AT&T is that until 9am it's just the pre order folks.

And if you are set on a 32GB and they don't have it.....

Okay, I have five Apple Stores in range between Manhattan and NJ but I will be calling AT&T first. But only because it's five minutes walking.

I hope you have some good luck bro! :apple:

I believe the 6AM rule is for the entire Domain. I actually just spoke to an Apple employee who came through my place of work. He told me the stores are opening at 7AM for those that reserved the phone and then at 8AM for everyone else. Looks like I will be lumped in with everyone else!

Whew, thank god I did the pre-authorization thing online. Hopefully it won't be too bad. Since I sold my iPhone last night, I won't have a way to post here from the line, but if I am back home before 8 I will give you an update.

They also had 4 guys on a scaffolding in front of the store working on something. I don't think there are any external displays, wonder if the glass broke. Couldn't tell.
 
Absolutely no one at the Enfield, CT AT&T store. Well, except for the one employee that just showed up. Oh two employees now!
Glad I left when I did though since both routes to the highway were blocked by accidents about 3 mins after I cleared the area. There's still no traffic getting through.
 
Liverpool UK

About 30 or so people at 8am. Pretty cold today!

They just took down the old 3G sign and are hanging the new 3Gs one! 18 mins and it looks like I'll be the first in town to own one!

I'm doing at upgrade swap, so I have to go AT&T store..a bummer for sure, but it's 200 cheaper, so I'll survive(even if I have to wait a few days)

Although it's 20 til 7, and only about 10 pre-order people are here...so I'm hoping I'll be hooked before 9(I've heard AT&T will help no pre-order before normal hours is all the pre order people are filled


Let hope!!
 
at the AT&T store in Memphis ten.. Supposedly it's one of the major AT&T stores... Only 4 people here right now... It may be because theirs a best buy across the street and a walmart 2 blocks over... Not sure.. Just sitting in the car right now.. It's not even 6 am Memphis time
 
Gotta say it...

Waiting in line sounds sorta pathetic this year.

Looks like you folks are looking for a line more than looking for a phone.

The 3GS isn't much of an upgrade over the iPhone 3G everyone already has.
Upgrade pricing means most people pay $399/499.
Even if you want it, you could have pre-ordered and gotten it today.

There's no reason to create a line where none is needed.
What was sorta cool in other years just looks desperate.
 
So opted to wait until 7 to come out...mistake! I assumed everyone in line had a pre-order...not true..well still not to many people in line
 
Okay...Update from Memphis ten... Still only 2 people in line.. Me and this old guy... I'm 18, he's about 60....Lol... Theirs two news stations here lol and 10 employees here... By the way I'm at the one on hacks cross for those Memphis people
 
San Jose (Valley Fair). 4am and 15 people in line. I've been here since 6pm. Yes. 6pm. I'm such an iLoser. Ugh. The crowd didn't appear until 230am.

What. an. idiot.
 
I took my dog out for a walk, and decided to take a drive by the AT&T store. There was one guy in his car at 4am, so if anyone is contemplating buying in or around Long Beach, the AT&T store on Bellflower looks like a good bet right now.
 
I just drove past the Meadville, PA AT&T store approximately 10 minutes ago and there were no customers at all there. There were a couple of employees inside. This was the same store I got turned away at last year because they ran out of phones while I was in line. I ended up going to another store to get my phone.
