After waiting in line for HOURS (once for 4 hours at the AT&T store in Cary, which sold out & then again for 5 hours at the Apple Store at Crabtree), I was finally among the last to be able to get one before the store closed for the night.
While the waiting was boring & tedius (& stressful...we weren't sure we'd get one), it was expected. What we didn't expect was the nightmare that some of us had to endure once we finally entered the store.
It took nearly TWO HOURS to get my phone activated once in the store. Even though I'm a Raleigh resident I had to get a Chapel Hill phone number because I was told AT&T "ran out of numbers for Raleigh". Finally after a 5 hour wait outside the store & 2 hours inside the store the phone was activated and I was on my way. Except, oops...the "phone" works, but my data plan (Internet, email, etc.) wasn't set up and that didn't work! Now it's too late to go back, the store is closed. Finally, after calling AT&T I was able to get it running correctly.
A very VERY long day. I'm stressed out, tired, & exhausted but I got one! And so far from what I can see...I like it...A LOT!
Got my 3G iPhone!
