So lets see what time most of us are gonna start making the line for the iPhne 3G! :D

Since US ATT stores will be opening at 8 am :D
 
Im going to get there at 11:59 on Thursday since I am 17 and I wont be able to drive past midnight anyway
 
Wait, what? Can't drive past midnight?
I was just at his point a few years ago so I know what he means. With a junior license in the state of X you can't drive past a certain time. I think it varies per state. but for mine you can't drive past 11pm.
 
I will be at my local AT&T store at 3AM. They told me that they sold out last year within the first 20 minutes...
 
Pshh. I'm no Social Sam, but if I had to leave a friend's house in the wee hours of the morning, I just left. Be it 2, 3, or 4, I'd leave when I had to leave.

It didn't really matter, because my town has four cops... and they would have all been asleep anyway.
 
You should have said "5 - 6 am" and then had another option for "6 - 7 am" since your other options were one hour ranges.

I'll be heading over to my local AT&T store around 5:30. Last year they only had 35 iPhones and sold out in an hour. If no one is in line yet, I'll go next door to Starbucks for a little while.

I live in Florida and Im 16 so its 11pm, but who cares? As long as your not doing anything stupid you WON'T get pulled over. And if you did, tell the cop the truth that your going to wait in line for the iPhone 3G :D

how are u 16 yr olds even getting phones? I thought minimum age was 18 to get a credit check and what not? Unless you guys are upgrading via family plans or phone lines mommy and daddy pays for?

man i used to love turning away kids from getting cell phones lol

Im supposed to be at work at 9am, but my boss doesnt care if I show up late considering what I will be doing. He is a gadget freak as well...id rather be getting the phone anyway, then at work.

whoa man take it easy im just joshin ya :D

Thats great you got a job and can pay for your own gadget crazed love, that's how i did it and it's good seeing kids doing the same especially now a days.
 
Meh ide rather be safe than sorry, even if i did drive past midnight where would the fun be? getting there 8 hours before release gives me a good chance to have a good spot in line and better chances for that White iphone, me and my buddy are just gonna bring somethin to play some games on, Ds maybe, and just chill. Starbucks next to the ATT store so wifi for my laptop, a few lawn chairs, and some mountain dew supernova (that stuff is like crack) Ill be set, 8 hours? pssh

I plan on getting to my AT&T Store around 5am. Of course, I will then be leaving the store and heading directly to work. (I'm going to be a little late, I'm supposed to be in at 8:00am. Oops.) Lets just say, friday won't be very productive as I play with my newest iPhone toy.
 
All depends on when the Apple store opens for me.

Has there been an update yet? I thought the 6th was the meeting/announce date.

I am going to take a guess and say some Apple stores open at midnight. A girl can dream! I can then just head to the Apple store once I wake up and the initial crowd has died down.
