Yes, I bought the iPhone Friday. Although I did not wait in line. Earlier in the day I scoped out both the Apple store and our local AT&T store. Both had lines that actually started on Thursday. The Apple line was longest of the two. I talked with the manager at the AT&T store. She advised that they had not received the iPhone at this time, and did expect to sell out quickly. Now I am not much of a queuing person. So I figured I’d just order it on-line from the Apple store. Well around 8:00PM I decided to run down to our local AT&T store and see how the line was doing. To my surprise there was no line and only 6 or 7 customers in the store. So I proceeded to the counter and asked for an iPhone, fully expecting to hear we are sold out. But no, the sales person said we have 3 left. However, they are the 4 G model. I hesitated for perhaps a nano second, before blurting our "I’LL TAKE ONE". That left only two for the remaining customers. While processing my sale I chatted with the sales person and found out the store received 40 iPhones, which quickly sold out, but were able to acquire another 40. As I walked out the store, I considered myself lucky to get a phone, and a little sorry for the those in the store who would not get their iPhone.

About 20 minutes later I was home and starting the process to activate the iPhone. As with most things Apple does the process was simple and straight forward. It did take some time for AT&T to do their thing. However, my wait was like 20 minuets and not the 3 or 4 days others have experienced. I did transfer an existing AT&T account onto the phone. It was a pleasant surprise to see only a $20 monthly increase for data. I don’t talk allot on the phone, but I send lots of email.

To my amazement the iPhone worked flawlessly, just like the commercials. It is hands down the very best phone in the market place. Without any instruction, I easily figured out how to use every feature. Now in one device we have it all, phone, movies, music, pictures, camera, and the web anytime almost everywhere. One special feature is how quickly it shifts over to an available  WiFi network. This is another hit for Apple and a huge gain for all cell phone users. There is finally a cell phone that makes sense. Verizon, T-Mobile, etc…. here is the clue you have always needed.
