Soooo who waited in line today to get their iphone?



I showed up at the store @ 3 oclock and was #20 in line, at about 4 we found out they were arriving at 5 oclock.



at about 5:15 there was maybe 50 people in line, the guy came out and announced that they received 40 phones, 30 were 8gb and 10 were 4gb.



lets just say 10 people were MAD PISSED.



They only allowed 4 people in the store at a time, locking the door everytime one entered or left.



After the first 4 people the entire ATT computer system crashed due to overloading the system, so we waited for about 15 minutes then it came back online, there are now maybe 60 people in line and they wont believe anyone that there are only 40 phones (wish i could see there faces when the phone is sold out before they even get close to the door)



finally after almost 4 hours of waiting i got in bought it and got a bunch of accesories.



About to activate it over itunes right now.



This was the first time i actually stood in line for something being released, didnt even do this for the Wii or anything.



oh and i put a downpayment on an evo IX today in gunmetal....thats gonna rock too. so far im having an awesome birthday....well belated birthday.

yea all the evo's are '06s for now, there is no '07 and the next one is the '08 thats gonna have the restyled body but its gonna be like $40k+, im getting mine for around $30k in graphite gray pearl....i wanted electric blue or black but the dealer couldnt find one.



i pick it up on monday, wooo!



oh and the phone is hot as hell, charging it up now, when you first plug it in the time says "4:20" on the screen, found that funny.

the iphones look sweet. Too bad there have been phones with the same capabilities on the asian and european markets for 2-3 years now...some even run on the US networks.



marketing is a bitch
