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.

140+ people in line at Burlington. Of course it is the mecca of the 128 belt.

General recommendations if you want an iPhone in a timely fashion were to go to an AT&T store, preferably an out of the way one, but...that does kill some of the experience.

Rumors of system-wide activation / upgrade failures are starting to roll in. It sounds at least as bad as last year.

It's looking more likely that I will wait a day or three on this.

No wonder radiotelescope looked depressed when I saw him on the subway today.

Every once in a while I'd kinda like to get one of those fancy new phones with all these nifty features but then I hear stories like this and then I'm more satisfied with my crappy pay-as-you-go $100/year dumb phone.

I'm posting from my new iPhone. The line was three hours at Boylston St.
