 I just don't get it... waiting in line for hours, paying tons of money to be first in line... for what, just to be one of the first to have this phone???? Just doesn't make sense to me.

I went to the Bridgeport Village Apple store at about 7:30 pm. Waiting line was gone. My understanding is that they were really processing people through there, since all the set up can be done at home via iTunes.
Played with an iPhone for about 20 minutes. I want one, but first I have to find out about early termination fees etc. As far as I am concerned, it was freaking magical. Did some finger and thumb typing. Not too terrible, but it would take a few days to get good at it, I believe. Did I say I am going to get one before too long. |

I went to the Apple store in Northbrook, IL last night after dinner at about 9:30. They had 4GB models available but no 8GB.
 I asked how often they expect to get more shipments in and they said "on a regular basis". They than also told me that they opened tomorrow morning at 9:00 for iPhone sales. I asked if they were getting in a shipment that night. The clerk kind of skirted around the issue and said if they did it would not be for sale last night but would make it to the floor by this morning. I got the sinking suspicion that they had 8GB models in the back that they were holding to put out until Saturday. I guess I will find out in about 3 more hours. |

My current plan is to upgrade my Audiovox VX-6700 to the VX-6800, but I'm an open minded guy...! (And I *LOVE* playing with new gadgets!) |

Phone Scientifically Rated (Verdict: Great Call Quality)
Wirelessinfo knows what they're talking about when it comes to cellphone calls. They're the Mythbusters of cellphones, pulling out all sorts of scientific equipment to determine whether call quality is good—not just doing a "oh, this sounds good" test. Their results for the iPhone? Best they've seen. It scores higher on the frequency response test compared to the BlackBerry 8800, Helio Ocean, LG Prada, Nokia N95 and the Treo 750. The audio quality is great as well, as is the send frequency response. The iPhone did have a bit of "side tone", which is the amount that you hear yourself in a conversation. LINK HERE |
