There was no doubt I was getting the Black, saw a bunch of people coming out with the White and it looked good!! When I went in the Apple store and had them both in my hands I went with the White.
but, after no less than 11 hours on Friday, 2 hours yesterday and another 1 hour today - I ***FINALLY*** have a fully functioning 16GB White for myself and an 8GB black for my wife...
It took 8 hours to get inside the store on Friday and then 3 hours inside while attempting to port my numbers from Alltel - which resulted in no less than 3 bricked phones. They never could get my ported number to "attach" to a 16GB - but after 2 hours dealing with AT&T and Apple yesterday they finally got them working... or so I thought.
I got home last night and realized that my wife's 8GB was not receiving data - only voice. Another hour at AT&T today and everything is finally working as it should (THANK YOU! Mike at AT&T in Pineville, NC!!!)
It was a miserable experience but the wife and I are both thrilled with the phones!
Managed to score a white one yesterday. Actually, my wife got it for me - she was picking up my daughter from Apple Camp & GarageBand for Kids at our local Apple store and they had just gotten a shipment in. They had been sold out completely for nearly a week.
