I happened to be in Simi Valley yesterday, and manage to get the last phone in town 3.25 hours after I got in line. I love it, love it, love. Way more useful than my old Wackberry.

Only about four hours to get my iPhone this morning at the Sherman Oaks store. Of course, finally getting it to activate took another two hours after I got home. But now, its all good.

I'm digging that the Grove handed out those umbrellas. The woman at the end of the line when we walked past? Pushing a baby carriage...

The only thing I envy about these people is that while our economy is going to hell in a handbasket, they still manage to have jobs that they can ditch to go buy a stupid phone. LOL Gotta love it.

Long live the Treo! I almost got the Instinct which appears better than an Iphone (w/the exception of not having itunes) but I faced the same problem with the Instinct at the IPhone - it's not a SmartPhone. It's just a phone w/a few nifty features. If you had a regular phone and go to Iphone / Instinct - amazing upgrade. If you have a palm/blackberry and go to iphone/instinct - and have been actually using any of the 100000 useful apps on the palm - it's a huge downgrade to go to an Iphone becuase it's not a smartphone. I can go on and detail all the awesome things you can do on a treo and not on an iphone, but its time to go home.
