i was all confused reading this thread I was like when did we find out the phone would be released on the 28th? lol then I saw the date.
I already started camping out tonight at my local AT&T store.
Just a few more weeks to go I hope
I wonder why Im getting all these weird looks though......

I had someone tell me this Monday would be a good day to be at the apple store if I'm interested in the iPhone.. I trust him enough to be there that morning.
Why is it almost fact? There wasn't a shortage of iPhones last year. I walked into an Apple Store in the afternoon on launch day, got my 3GS, and was done in 10 minutes. No shortage.
Ahahahaha that's funny s***
I guess I need to remember to look at the dates again from now on

I hope it's because you're reporting for a job.
Heh, mine too. It gets me excited.
I'm thinking about waiting in line for the new iPhone, but was wondering how early I need to get to my AT&T store? If they open at 9AM, maybe get there at 7:30 AM (with coffee and such)?
Nothings been announced yet. IF Steve does announce an iphone release on Monday. I'd assume there should be enough time to drive to your local apple/at&t store.. it's the hardcore geeks like us that will be all over this the moment it's announced. The average person won't hear about it until later on in the day I'd assume.
Indeed. There might be a ten-second story about the release of the iPhone on the national news, but besides us Apple geeks, it'll escape from everyone else's mind pretty soon after they hear about it.
I'm glad I'm an Apple geek.
I saw the date of 28th, and I was like "Wait, people are already camping out for the June 7-11th launch???" LOL

I'm glad I'm an Apple geek and can afford to buy their new products and receive free coffee and water in line.
Are you people crazy? There have been shortages of the iPad, and there were shortages of the past iPhones. Even if you don't have to wait weeks upon weeks, don't expect to have one sitting there and ready with no wait in line. Heck, I even remember that there were lines for the 3G in stores in the greater Boston area at least up until I went away to college.
I'm not saying the answer is to camp, but ordering online is definitely the way to go. Just remember, that Apple didn't offer the iPhone(s) online immediately after launch. Bottom line: be prepared for the craze.

I remember the 3G launch was crazy. I went to the AT&T store in Oak Lawn and got there at about 6ish and was like the 3rd or 4th person in line. I remember the 1st dude who went in to get his couldn't get it because he wasn't authorized on the account. By the time I left up out of the store the line was crazy as well as most other AT&T stores in the area.
Were you there when that crazy HP lady wanted to buy them all up? She was gonna sell them on eBay...LOL. Boy was she surprised to find out there was a limit.

I always go to the Knox Apple store even though I live 3 blocks from the AT&T store (Oak Lawn & Gillespie). The Apple store just feels like a nicer experience and the wait has never been bad even when I get there just about an hour before opening.
Edit: Ooops...guessing you didn't mean the Oak Lawn location...in Dallas.
Edit 2: Just realized this was for the 1st Gen iPhone
This isnt the first time Apple has launched an iPhone...I figure they could probably pretty accurately predict how many they think should sell the first week or so...no?
