    haha, i can't beleive people actually wait inline....isn't that what the internet is for?
    yeah; one would think so right?

    but the difference is that unlike last year's first iPhone where buyers could activate and register the phone on their own from their computer; this 3G iPhone requires activation and registration in-store. This is yet another inconvenience; and a rebuff of my theory of the neo-Robin Hood-tactics that Apple uses; and that Apple force feeds on AT&T, other outlets and ultimately the end user.

    I guess it's just a hype like all new things that are released, it will wear off soon. BB for life

    But haven't you seen the news this morning, the stores are sending the iPhoners home to finish the registration...seems there is a network issue and it is taking 20 min or more to get the darn thing activated. I almost feel sorry for them!

    I stopped by and plyed with the new I Phone this morning. It was really a lot of fun to use and it was pretty amazing. However, when you get to the keyboard you realize what a major pain it would be to have to use it everyday. My fingers are just too big. But, the screen and the interface are terrific!
