I just picked up a pair of eye glasses next door to the Apple store. More than 300 people in line. :eek:

Me too! I haven't actually downloaded any yet but I'm finding quite a few that look good. Loving the features on the iphone!

That's hilarious! Would've loved to be there to see that.

It was ...Just glad I wasn't the one who had shoved my phone in the case. Somehow I think I might have had to buy a red EPI case with a slit down the side...

and I thought the iPhone was popular! What kind of glasses were those? :eek:

I bought a Jawbone 2 this afternoon. According to the store guy, the original iPhone needed to have a driver downloaded. I can report that the 3G and Jawbone work together out of the box.

alot of people with nothing else to do...it's funny how people will bit*h and moan about waiting in a security line for 45 minutes but wait 6 hours just so they can "one up" their neighbor by being the first one on the block with a new cell phone. woo hoo!::D

Just called my local store.

Asked if they had already sold today's allotment of phones.

Agent said they didn't have any all weekend.

I asked if there were some in the back for tomorrow's allotment.

He said that they had none, and none were delivered yesterday.

a driver downloaded to where? prior to the 2.0 firmware, there was no official way to install anything on the iphone. how exactly did this driver get installed?

the original and 3g iphones support the standard bluetooth hands-free and headset profiles, and any compatible bluetooth device should 'just work.'

i've used V1.0 and 2.0 jawbones and haven't had to do any updates to get them to work with either 1.0 or 2.0 software on the iphone.

Got a 16G white on day two.

Not a bad little phone. Though battery life appears to suck.

User interface is beyond what I expected in terms of organic ease of use. Really top notch.

If you have an university or larger corporate email address, this discount possibility is worth checking out.

Got mine yesterday at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA. 2 hour wait (1:45p - 3:45p) with 10-15 minutes for the activation as I already had an AT&T iPhone. They told me that the line was 6 hours long on Saturday. There were a lot of people in line who were switching over from other services.

I heard it was the same down at Spectrum and Fashion Island Apple stores too. I don't know why people didn't just go to a local AT&T store like I did. No waits, in and out in 10 minutes, same phone and service.

Reminder: Exchange Support and roaming
 

Just a friendly reminder for those coming from Blackberry's and moving to the iPhone 3G.

If you have Exchange properly working at home, then you may want to limit your 3G/GPRS-EDGE data usage when out of the country. The Exchange support is very chatty to the server and you will result in aprox 1MB-2MB of data charges a day with aprox 20 messages a day. This is in contrast to 30-90K on Blackberry.

We've had one former Blackberry user who was on flat rate Blackberry roaming plan go from a bill of $200 aprox a month (full local service + roaming blackberry/BES package) to $900 USD a month, with $600 of roaming charges. This was with AT&T, but it will be the same with any carrier as very few networks have bundled roaming data except with a Blackberry plan.

Beware folks.... Use Wifi to check email when roaming.

Good reminder for the unfamiliar for sure, but the newer software does include a switch to disable data roaming which avoids the costly data roaming charges altogether.
