I was also surprised and impressed by how many people in our small town came out for the iPhone unveiling. I meant to get to the store between 5:30 and 6a (I had also been warned by ATT employees to get there early if I wanted to get one), but I woke up at 4 and couldn't go back to sleep. I listened to the BBC alone in the parking lot for about 20 minutes before the second person in line showed up. He was a nice older man who was buying a phone for his daughter. We spent the next 3 hours trying to figure out the HAM Radio he had bought the day before (Irony?). I stood in the store for over an hour and watched all of the iTunes screens at all of the kiosks show the same thing - nothing. I also watched all the people (Matt included, I suppose) wait in the rising heat for a chance to come in the store. In all, it was frustrating but I'll have to agree that it was worth it. In other news, the ATT regional manager who was there that day told me that little old Oxford should be running 3G in a month or so...just in time for the Presidential Debate that's coming to town.
