Standing in line at the Apple store amongst nerds, geeks, and tech junkies. Been here for a half hour and I've begun to realize it's a darn good thing I took the entire day off. I'm probably about 2-3 hours away from my new phone... Which is good because this battery will be dead by then.
I'll post updates throughout the morning... Hey I have nothing better to do.

The experience took me five hours. I can say I've done it, made some good friends, but won't do it again!

I stood in line for 5 hours, and the line was even longer when I left.

If you order one from the Apple online store as of last week they were estimating a July 13th ship date.

We used to camp out overnight back in the day to buy concert tickets to the big shows. Always a fun time.
