Gonna wait a while

My 2G iphone contract expires in august, thought I'd wait for the dust to settle. Queueing all night outside the store!!!??? Nah, got far more important things to do, like sleep in a nice comfy bed! Besides, iTunes and activation will fall over again just like Wednesday with OS 3.0.:apple:
 
im already in line at garden state plaza in NJ
... lol at 3 I told myself i wasnt gonna do this
just go at 7 am and try my luck at replacin my
htc touch pro with an iphone 3G S black 16 gb.

only 2 others here and several people drive by try the door and leave LOL
 
Anybody know if Tysons Corner (VA) Apple store will be open at 7am? It's a huge indoor mall and I wonder if they will open the main entrance early just for Apple customers.
 
Im at the Apple Store in Soho and I would say only like 15 people are here
 
Stopped by Apple Store (Irvine, CA) this afternoon for my genuis bar appt and there were already 5 guys outside the store on their laptops waiting. This was at around 2pm. The line is probably longer right now.

I wish I was there but I have a FAN discount so it would make more sense to go to an AT&T store.

So here I am now in La Habra, CA waiting across from the AT&T store with a few friends. No one is there except for the security guard who said we can start waiting there at 430am. Doesn't look like it will be a huge line. I wouldn't be surprised if we were the only ones come 7am.

I think they have about 100 set aside for walkins. I don't think they will run out here :p

Time for a nap in the car...
 
You are SOOO in denial.. that or just, well, socially inept.. Or maybe you are in a high school where having the newest thing really is the coolest thing on the planet.. either way, when you finally come into the real world.. you will realize how totally and completely UNCOOL it is.

I mean, I am a huge gadget geek, I admit it. I get all giggly and stupid when talking about some new awesome toy.. but i know it's not cool.. just admit it to yourself.. Be at peace with the fact that you are, well, a geek.. a dork. Someone who really cares SOO MUCH about a phone that you will give up an entire night of your life.. for a phone

I'm a geek.. but i'm not gonna wait in line when a phone is available preorder and delivered to my house. why in the WORLD???

To each is to own........geez!! who pee'd in your wheaties? LOL!! Some people are camping outside a store and some people are camping by their front door, eitherway we're all going to have our iphones today!:D

I can't give you any confirmation but last year I waited at a store that was in a mall. They had a line outside the mall until it was time to buy, and by then some security guards showed up especially to make sure we didn't go running around the mall I guess.

SO anyway chances are, given Apple's clout and draw to malls, the mall will cooperate with the launch. Best bet would've been to ask your apple store yesterday though.

Thank you. I thought no one would answer here so I just started a tread. :p

I was 20th in the queue, but got in early as I had a personal shopping app booked for 9. Someone didn't turn up so got in earlier! Bought at the apple store in Birmingham (uk) Bullring Shopping centre.


/edit forgot to mention post from my new iPhone 3G S 32gb White

Sorry I forgot to Ask, but the queue wasn't massive. There was about 15 people waiting outside when I left at 09:15.

Phone took a while to connect to 02, but it was register before I left the store.

(Contract - 2yr @£34).
 
Here is the tale of my woes.....

I would have pre-ordered, but AT&T would not let you upgrade until your year has come up and mine would not have been till July 11th. So now I'm stuck waiting in line for a phone. I did it last year at the Apple Store in Short Hills NJ. It was a great time! So many people, and we all had a great time. That day I didn't get my phone till around 1pm. I was there at 6am.

So, this week I'm traveling in West Virginia, No Apple store for miles and miles. So I called the closest AT&T store in Princeton WV. Was told to get here early. So here I am, at 4:30 am. Not a soul in sight. I guess I'm first in line. Hope they don't run out.

I think AT&T really screwed this up for customers who bought last year and wanted to upgrade today. Then last minute they changed their minds and said we can upgrade. I can't wait till Apple goes to Verizon. I'll be the first to switch back!

Anyway, time to watch the stars here in Princeton WV! Almost Heaven....
