Just got back, a few hours ago, from the Apple Store (Kenwood Mall) in Cincinnati. :apple:
There were more than 100 people in line. I was #5 : )
The Apple employees were very nice. Not only did they hand out bottled water (came out frequently to pass them out too) but we got Apple key chains with a flashlight. Checkout was speedy and efficient. Iit was a very pleasant experience and the iPhone is GREAT! I'm very pleased with my purchase and considering I paid $499.99 when the Razr came out . . . this new smart phone was well worth the price paid :D

I agree, Apple Northridge here in SoCal got me in and out in minutes (no line Fri @ 10:30pm) and sent me an email receipt. Smooooth
 
That's where I got my iphone!! I went around 11pm opening day, since they were open until midnight. They had plenty of phones left lol.
I ended up coming in July 1st (my bday) and was given the phone as a present. Didn't have to wait in line or anything!




The wait for the iPhone is almost over, and fans are beginning to congregate at Apple and AT&T stores. The line here at the Apple Store Clarendon began at 8:15pm last night and has grown to a couple hundred people.

I got here at around 12pm today after an anxious work-morning (I didn't get too much done). Just a few minutes ago, Apple closed the store and began preparing for what is sure to be a fun night.

Apple has also been aware of the crowd, and has graced us with bottled water (which may be a moot gesture, as it has started to rain).

We have heard that the iPhones have indeed arrived under armed guard (as rumored). All in all, the excitement is building towards when we will all get our first iPhones.
