Got my phone from the Fifth Ave "Cube" today. I went after work at about 6 and it was still chaos. The line for no reservations wrapped around to Madison people were waiting about 2-2:30 in that line just to get inside. Then it was about another 20-30 once you were inside. Reservations line took one hour (the line I was in) from getting in the line to being complete. Luckily we were in the shade by the time I got there but it must have been just nasty mid-day here in NYC with temperatures reaching into the 90s.

I love the phone so far. I upgraded from the 3g so the speed difference is very noticeable. Especially with iOS 4 which brought my 3g to a crawl the last few days. I really like the way it feels in my hand. Though I don't like that I don't know which way I am holding it when I take it out of my pocket. I have not had any yellowing/reception issues (knock on wood). The screen does look really good, though after reading about it on blogs for the past month or so it is not the killer feature in my book, its just something that is more nice that they thought about it. Did I mention that it is fast! The cameras are decent though I was never a big phone photo taker so we will see if having a better camera changes that habit or not.

Moving onto more OS features: Multitasking is nice though still not perfect. Its a step in the right direction though as you open things it just clutters up when you double tap to go to apps. The list gets long if you never restart your phone. I like being able to put stuff in folders, especially some of the cheap/free games I have acquired over the last few years that I never really play though are fun to show off every now and then. The single email inbox is a huge plus though I think I might turn off threading as it just adds another click and I seem to have been able to keep things straight up to this point.

All-in-all I'm happy after day one.
