It's that Friday.

Just synched up my phones with my Mac, so that I won't lose any numbers. I'm ready.

Any reports from the fore? Should I just meander down to Cambridgeside?

LIVEBLOGGING

I'm still at home! Doing nothing! But here's what I know so far.

mrmorse, who was considering getting in line at 7am, isn't reachable by cellphone at all. Curious.

radiotelescope upgraded the software on his 2007 iPhone, and it said "Uh buh I can't see the iTunes Store" and refused to start. Then he went to work. Uncanny.

classicaljunkie advises that I hit the shops myself in the early afternoon. Okay.

Forget it

Word on the street is: system-wide activation and upgrading failures, at least as bad as last year's.

I don't need to wait in line for hours with strangers in order to buy a toy that won't work for at least a day (during which I will have no phone). Forget it! I'll get one when things simmer down.
