Ordered on Friday 11th, received it in store and picked up on Wednesday the 16th. I got the 16GB Black.
It was in store credit check and phone number porting, phone was still locked and they told me to go home to sync to itunes. Once i was home, registered/activated via itunes, no problems. It took about 2 hours for the phone number port to complete. I could make outgoing calls, but incoming calls still went to the old verizon phone.
Love the iphone, games are great! The drip game shown from wwdc, and game called "chopper" are the best.
Battery life is ok, but daily charging i required if you use data and play games.
Definately have to invest in a car charger now. Also my pioneer avic-d3 isn't compatible with the charging ability for the iphone, so that is pretty big bummer.
Other then that, no complaints, the phone is a one stop shop and it competes with numerous other devices, I put it on par with a ds/psp for gaming. Pretty incredible, the price paid is a bargain for hat all it does. Now it has a phone in it as well? wow!
