Well, for sure there will be people in line, probably starting in the morning.

It depends on how long you want to wait for the other people that would be in front of you in line, and at the worse case, risk the store running out of phones to sell.

The rumor is that most AT&T stores will be getting a minimum of 40 phones. So If I wanted a specific model of iPhone (4GB/8GB) I would feel uncomfortable if there was 20 people ahead of me.

Ultimately you will just need to decide what is most important to you. For me, its getting an iPhone, ON FRIDAY!.

Good Luck!

I'm kind of where you are, there are some AT&T stores that are in places that it won't be easy for people to stand in line, especially overnight. But the Apple stores should have more stock and they have a ton more room. I'm expecting a line, but hopefully not too long. I plan on checking about 3 PM, I think about 3 hours is my limit for standing in one place. Plus, I'm gonna tote my 30g and fill it with movies and just watch a couple while I'm waiting.

You can't get AT&T ppl on the phone in my area, in the first place....and that's on "light" days....They are ALWAYS occupied, or busy.
They are BY FAR the most popular provider, in my state.

If a line forms early at the store you're going to, you have to look at this way...
You can get in line early, and you'll wait a long time an be GUARANTEED a phone, or you can get in line late, still be in line for a while, probably, and then they may run out (not likely)...

Depends on whether you wanna take that chance.

I'm going by the store at Noon, and I will react at that point to any line that is formed, if any.

6 hours is an ugly long time and I just don't have the patience for that. I wish you luck on that though. I think that with the Mall of America where I live that there will be enough traffic in the other locations.

I think Apple kind of planned it this way so that people wouldn't be in a threatening situation once they get their iPhone.

lol... I don't mind the zune but the ipod ui is much better... other than that I have no problems with it. I do tell all of my friends to stay away from the zune tho just because of the UI.
