I did wonder the same thing myself, but the number of outlets to get the iPhone from surely means that queues would be somewhat diluted. I was in a queue at an O2 shop with only 10 people in it, and there is a CPW about 300 yards away that had a queue as well on launch night. I couldn't see the same hysteria being generated like they had in the States somehow.
One thing of note is that for us in the UK, we might have to 'buy' ourselves of our current contracts just to switch (no doubt the same applied to the US, but we're a little more precious about forking out money to cancel a contract then actually buy a phone instead of getting it free on contract)
Once we know the weekend figures I think the picture may be a little clearer.
