No luck for me at two AT&T stores. I went over to a store that I THOUGHT was an AT&T store, but turned out to be a reseller. The guy there gave me directions to a nearby store that was selling them, but I couldn't find the damn thing anywhere. Turns out, it's a tiny store with no sign out front, but I couldn't find the damn thing until I was on my way home. But, I knew where another store was, so I quickly tried to zip over to it and join the line.
I got there and there were about 60 people in line in front of me. I waited until nearly 6 PM, and then an AT&T employee came out and started giving instructions. She wouldn't say how many phones they had, but she indicated a place in line where you "might not get product after this point". I shouted out "What does 'might not' mean?" And she told me that it was unlikely that i would go home with a phone from the store.
At that point I said ****-it. I'm not waiting in line for a couple of hours just so they can send me a phone. I'll just order one from Apple.com. I'll get it in the same amount of time, and I don't have to sit around waiting. It also didn't help that there was a very loud mouth guy in front of me in line that went on about all the things the iPhone couldn't do, but yet he was there to buy one anyway.
Hopefully I'll get a chance to get one online later.
