I officially got my iPhone 4 at 7:57 AM this morning (that is the time on my receipt). I also got Brad's (his came at 8:02). I left work at 5:30 AM and got in a (long) line at the Apple store at First Colony Mall at 5:57 AM. After standing in the drizzling rain for 30 minutes, they split our line into 2: one for reservations and one for not. Luckily the reservation line was much shorter. I got to move up to the covered area. I estimate about 30 people were ahead of me in the reservation line. Just before 7, the entire Apple store crew came running past the line, cheering and inciting cheers from the line too. A bit after 7 we finally started moving. Once I made it through the mall entrance, Chick Fil A was there handing out free breakfast. I had a chicken biscuit and tater tots and an ice cold bottle of water. It was very nice. They were taking about 10-20 people from the reservation line for every 1 in stand by, so those people were pretty upset. Many of them had been there since Wednesday afternoon. When I got close to the front, an employee verified mine & Brad's reservations and before long I had our new phones!
I went home, dropped the phones with Brad for setup, and went to sleep (although it took me a while to actually fall asleep).
I heard from Bobby (we were communicating via text while waiting in line- he was at the Woodlands Apple store). He had to wait 5 hours for his & Annelle's phones! So I should consider my experience a big success!
Now I just need to get a case. I don't like my iPhone being 'naked'.
