I survived iPhone day
The image above is from the Michigan Ave. Apple Store a few days before the camping began in earnest for the iPhone. I did camp out a few hours with my friend Steve at the Northbrook Court store to wait for his phone. The wait wasn't too terrible and we were joined by his significant other. He's been very excited about the phone and I just wanted to watch the whole circus. The Northbrook crowd was smaller than the downtown Chicago one, but it wasn't insignificant.
When we finally made it through the line, Steve got into another line to buy the phone and I played with the floor models with Aliza. I am very impressed that Apple did make a phone that lived up to all of the hype, even though I didn't pick up one myself. I don't have any immediate plans to get one of these things, and I'll probably hold off for a couple of revisions before making my purchase. This will give Apple time to work out the kinks and add features such as an IM client and it will allow me to pinch some pennies while I wait for the phone to go down from its current price.
I'm curious - did anyone who reads this site pick up one of these phones? What do you think about it so far?
