Apple Store Renaissance at Colony Park in Madison, Mississippi
Was kind of surprised to see this, but even the Apple store in this small suburb had a long line waiting as of 1:30am:

Hopefully my reservation for a 32GB iPhone 4 will get me in the door quickly tomorrow morning!

If you were born before 1989, I have had car phone, err, cell phone service longer than you have been alive
You are my personal hero...
Me, personally, I agree with you. I waited in line for the 3G, and it was entertaining (and only about 3 hours). I also once did the midnight release of OS X. Again, was fun.
I hope the folks waiting in line get a kick out of it and get their phone.
It is like back in school when we went down the road at 135mph and started thinking I wonder who serviced the brakes on this car last... I would never do that again, but I am sure glad I had the experience
About what exactly? That I am not crazy enough to line up for a phone?
In that case I couldn't care less...
And at the end of the day everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I have mine, they have theirs... And my opinion is that those people are "missing a cup in their cupboard" (German saying).

LOL Thank you. I fixed the before to after! Would have never seen it without your response!
Exactly! They might think that you are crazy because you don't want to stand in line, that you need to get a life, or perhaps, you are missing a cup or two in the cupboard
Another useful saying Live and let live. But, we can always go back to Live and let die... (great song!)
Okay, let's say they have 2,000,000 they are shipping or only 300,000. In either case, there are bound to be some that are not quite as good as others. I don't care what company you are. Go back and read both what I wrote and what I was responding to. Not every unit will be perfect, so don't count on your iPhone 4 having brown spots and this and that problem just because some other people's did. I bet there are more people like me who got one that seems to be 100%.
Still using a G4 Cube daily
I wasn't referring to the amount of bad units their may be. I just think it is funny only 600K in pre-orders were taken so people think that is all they are shipping. Let's think about this people. If 600K were pre-ordered then why are people camping out if those are already spoken for? You would have no chance getting one period if that is the case because that are accounted for.
The only thing that is going to keep someone from getting one today is time because there is not enough hrs in the day to get to the demand. I am pretty sure their is a huge supply considering AT&T isn't doing walk-ins until the 29th which is only 5 days away. You know Apple is going to have their fair share. Yall have fun camping out over the hype!
I love apple along with the rest, I agree, is there nothing else in yours lives than to queue up for a phone, what's the urgency !
I hope that if I ever feel compelled to do something as stupid as standing in line overnight to buy a phone that my loved ones do an intervention on me. I can't think of anything important enough to justify this extreme behavior. Well, except maybe to watch Aliens land their spaceship... but that is an extreme situation.
Note: air conditioned room without a chick and knows keyboards better than breasts... virgin! So glad I didn't camp out at my keyboard instead of getting laid.
And in England the saying is"brick short of a full load" or a sandwich missing from a packed lunch"
Yes, those are good and valid points. You are right, they always planned more than 600,000 because they always planned for walk-in traffic. I probably should have prefaced my comments with "of the pre-ordered 600,000, suppose ..."
Happily, I think we both had good and orthogonal points
Long live the Great State of Texas and where ever I happen to be at the moment!
I already have my phone.. if i was not away i woudl go and sit with people just to talk and shoot the sh**t haha
Happily, I think we both had good and orthogonal points
Yep! I know where you were going with your comments and you are correct. Mine were directed to a different issue.
Fact is I was one of the ones who camped with my laptop in the comforts of my house with A/C and my comfy couch and pre-order on the 15th so I don't have to sit in the heat or rain right now for no reason....LoL
The ones around here were for walk-ins only because they are just AT&T agents. So first come first serve...
So there iPhone 3GS are so crap that they feel the need to queue up and not wait a week or so? Seriously how many of those queuing don't already own an iPhone
O2 in UK looks sold out too
I went to my local O2 store, a queue of 20 people ... the shop hadn't even opened. An O2 sales rep. informed me they had sold out
The nearest shopping centre (bluewater) has 300 units, and a very long queue
It looks like the limited supplies that plagued the iPad are worse for the iPhone4
The UK has multiple Networks selling the phone, as well as 3rd parties (and Apple) .. it does however appear supply is very limited, and the queues long
O2 itself is only selling to existing customers ( http://shop.o2.co.uk/new-iphone/wheretobuy.html )

And to all those critics who said they couldnt believe that the phone was square then Im thinking they will eat their words when they get your mitts on one!

LoL No doubt! If 2 Million units go in one day we got some people with serious issues....
Which is worse?
So which is worse and more in need of a life?
Watching this forum in a lonely room or sitting in line with other people for a just a phone. Hmm... Hard call...
Wait a minute! I am in one of those two groups!
BTW, just what exactly does having a life mean? (That is a rhetorical question, folks.)
Oh well, there will always be people who think their idea is better than someone else's. What is really crazy is thinking other people are crazy because they don't think just like you. What a boring world that would be!
