I have to agree with you there. Some people just want to be the first to have the shiney new iPhone! Then they get home and open up the box and say "WTF its the same as the 3G!".

Had to wait about an hour but they had plenty of 3gs phones.

Now to figure out how to unlock and jailbreak!!

i never had any luck with stuff that i bought that was its first run.. i will wait..

I thought the lines were kinda funny. I pre-ordered and picked mine up around noon after I woke-up. The guy at at&t called me this morning and said my phone was in and to come any time to get it. Silly lines. lol I guess it could be worse though. I mean iPhone fans aren't as bad as Star Wars or Star Trek fans with the whole line-waiting thing. haha

Congrats to everyone that was able to get thier iPhones today, and good luck to those still in a holding pattern waiting on one. Best of luck. -fin

Anyone know when stores will be having more? I had to work today and didn't get a chance to run to the store to get one.

Literately walked into my local best buy at 11am and at 1122am was walking out with 2 32 3Gs phones activated and awaiting Jali breaking.

EDIT: Oh, and haha they were NOT that happy when they took my old 2G to transfer my contacts and saw it was jailbroken hahahaha, it was pretty amusing.

What did them apple people say when they saw jailbroken iPhone?

64GB?
video call? (nah...)

To be honest, 3GS blows. There's already video and audio recording app in Cydia. The speed? its not like ppl would want to run particle simulations or anything...juz the same apps
come on apple, dont withheld upgrades and let it trickles bit by bit and happily watching ppl line up and pay their hard-earned money for every little iterations..limit that to OSX please....juz straight up give us the most powerful phone ever..and not do upgrades annually

As it is, I wont be parting with my 3G anytime soon..
Thats why ppl jailbreak...to squeeze every damn last power that they can from each pricey iterations...

Good for you. Why say all this in these posts? These same people will probably get next years model too. I MADE money on the deal unlocking and selling my 3G so I don't really see how people think it isn't worth it. I guess "worth it" is defined VERY differently between different people.

I imagine nothing as it was not their business really...

[salayyad]

im really close to pulling the trigger on the 3gs but im just waitng to unlock my phone so i can have a better shot at selling it

[grimlock1]

Thats crazy I live up in Seattle and did not have to wait in line matter of fact I went to the apple store @ about 6.30 pm when my wife got home and scored two 32gb black Iphone 3GS I must be lucky

Sometimes there are benefits to living in a small town.
I live in Biloxi MS, there's only 1 AT&T retailer and no Apple store, but I went to AT&T at 7:30 (they opened @ 7:00), walked right to to counter, canceled my preorder (ordered after the 16th), ported my old T-Mobile number over and was on my way home by 7:45 with the same phone that I preordered (white 32gb).
