Got to our brand new big Apple Store in Boston at 5:50am, maybe 30 people ahead of me in line in drizzly weather. We had one line outside for everyone and once we got inside after 7am the existing AT&T customers when to the second floor and the new ones went to the third. Very smooth purchase and activation. I thought they’d need my old iphone to transfer the SIM card over but nope. Maybe 20 mins or so total to leave with my phone. Very speedy.

If you’re upgrading from the original 2G iPhone like I was, prepare to be blown away by the speed!

I had the 3g model for about a month and half (upgraded from first gen cause I didn’t want to wait anymore), but I have a friend who works at At&t so I was able to make the switch…

I have two iphone 3G on my Rogers account, purchased them in August 2008. One for $299.00 and the second phone for $399.00.

Each iphone account has a continue amount of $100.00 per month on my monthly billing.

I called Rogers call center and was assured I would qualify on both iphone accounts for $199.00 each with an extention of 1 more year.
I told the rep that I will visit a Rogers location as I wanted to iphones right away vers shipping 3-5 business days.
I went to the store, and guess what? The deal now was one upgrade iphone 3Gs for $299.00 and the second upgrade iphone 3Gs for $399.00.
I was very annoyed and decided to leave the rogers store and try calling back the call center.
After waiting for only 40 minutes(not bad considering the demand) I explained what I wanted and after only 10 minutes….
I now have two 16G white iphone 3Gs for $199.00 each! The new iphones will be in my hands within 3-5 business days.
My advise to everyone is to call them directly instead of going into the store. It seems you may receive a better deal calling the Rogers call center instead.

Arrived at The Falls Apple Store (Miami) @ 7:05 to pick up my pre-ordered 3GS (32 GB). Line of 80-100 people — Apple Store employees slowly culled out pre-order customers. About 2 hours later, emerged with my new iPhone.

Love it so far — 2 initial impressions: (1) it’s FAST and (2) movie quality is surprisingly good.

[...] had been there since 3:00AM that morning. So, long story short, I got my hands on a brand new 32GB iPhone 3G S, and this is what it looks [...]

I got in line at 6:45 am in Milwaukee and I was the 6th person in line. Two people in front of me hadn’t pre-ordered, so I got to go in before them when the At&t store opened at 7. I was in and out in 15 mins…I returned my 3G 16gb that I had recently purchased and got my new 32gb. Needless to say, the lines were not bad at all here, so if someone wanted one today, they could probably easily purchase one!
