Well, we have it. We are now the proud owners of an iPhone. The experience was truly unique. As iSaid before, JP paid his cousins to wait in line for him today while he worked. They showed up at 9:00 am and were the 7th ones in line. At 5:30 pm iShowed up and relieved JP's cousin Erica of her post. There was just an ocean of nerds waiting there. JP wasn't going to make it on time, so iGot to have the experience of actually going in and buying the phone. The first 20 people in line had "special honors" and got to go into the store first.
20 minutes to go - the black curtain that was covering the store was removed.

Israel waits in line, overwhelmed with excitement

We were on FOX 9 News

As we were waiting iSaw a girl coming down the escalators who looked out over the sea of geekness, and iSaw her mouth the word, "Why?" :) Because its awesome, that's why!
The moment was approaching, people were getting excited, nerds everywhere were getting sweaty palms...it was intense.
Finally the countdown began and the floodgates were opened.

OH. MY. SWEET. GOODNESS.
As I read your post, I was watching the report on Fox9. I was waiting to see someone in line to be wearing a giant apple costume or something comparable to the Star Wars geeks in line for the midnight showing of Episode 1 several years back. I can't believe you were there! hehehe...that's one expensive phone!
iSheesh.
Second or third generation, I'll pick one up. When it drops below the cost of an Xbox.
Or a car payment.
I so wanted one, but...no integration with Wells Fargo email...so...I'll wait...until I can get my work to pay for it.
