Hahaha… well maybe tomorrow.

I decided not to rush to get the new iPhone, and instead of being a rediculous fanboy, I chose to swing by there at 10 or so and see how long the line was.

A guy in the middle of the line said that he has been waiting for 4 hours (he got there a bit before 7), and the lady at the end of the line was getting the last iPhone they had for the day. Half the people in the line had folding chairs or beanbag seats of some sort.

AT&T is getting shipments of iPhones daily for about the first week… so I’ll go by there tomorrow a bit earlier and see if the line isn’t as bad. I’m assuming the line will be about the same, however. It’ll be the weekend and people won’t have to worry about going to work in the morning, so they’ll spend the night or get there extra early. But then again, the main flood of people will be gone… everyone who ran to every AT&T store in town to get one or went to the nearest Apple store to make sure they got one on the official iDay will be gone and out of the way.

I don’t know, no one can really predict what a bunch of people will do. I’m assuming tomorrow will probably be only a little better than today, and Sunday may be better, but AT&T opens at about noon on Sundays, so people may wait it out again since they’ll have a chance to wake up at a normal hour and eat a breakfast and such.

I’m not in much of a rush to get the iPhone… I don’t care if I’m one of the first. I just want one! Worst case scenario, I go next week when there’s no line.

Anyways, I’ll post an update tomorrow.
