Guess how many iPhones we sold this weekend?

A million.  Guess that explains the lines.

I'm liking my 3G

As is becoming my pattern, I got the phone on Saturday, the day after the launch. I went for white, and bought a case just because I need a case until the kind of case I want comes out and I can buy THAT case.  Know what I’m talking about?

The ATT store had maybe 25, but I was number eight in line by virtue of getting there at 7AM for a supposed 8AM opening.  Which turned out to be 9AM.  At least, it was supposed to be 9, but the computers “weren’t online” so we waited a bit longer.  Then they started admitting people, FOUR AT A TIME.  When I finally got in the nice guy who helped my began by warning “This is going to take a while.”  Start to finish it was maybe thirty minutes, which included about five of the guy trying to reinsert the SIM card into my original iPhone, a task he never accomplished, leaving me with an unusable original phone that was suppposed to be going home to my wife. His advice: take it to the Apple Store.  But I fixed it myself after about two hours of cogitation and modification of various sheets of plastic.  That’s the kind of guy I am.

Anyway, I’m liking the phone.  And, why shouldn’t I, it’s essentially the same as the first… especially since I DON’T GET 3G IN MY HOUSE!

Everyone says the same thing:

Stop thinking you’re getting a 3G today.  From iPodObserver

Gruber on Day One of the App Store.  I’m still waiting for MobileMe to get its shit together before I take the plunge. Gruber on Day One of the App Store.  I’m still waiting for MobileMe to get its shit together before I take the plunge.

AppleInsider: Wait a week, get your phone in 15 minutes

I cruised by four ATT stores and an Apple store this morning at nine.  The lines did not look good, especially at the Apple store.  An ATT employee told me that Apple had a LOT more phones in store than did ATT - but the Apple line was around the block and out of sight.  Frankly, I can wait until tomorrow.

.Mac is down

You know what that means: MobileMe is almost here, along with the iPhone App Store.  The iTunes update was pushed out last night.
