Camping out

[trnsilver]

I'd camp out if, you know, I didn't have to WORK. I'll get it Monday 6/22 after work at the local Apple or AT&T store.

I have a day off to burn, so uh, ya know..... Plus it will translate into a 4 day weekend with my new toy!

just reserve it at your nearest apple store and pick it up on that day an you should be at least know your going to get one.....they give you the option to Ship or Reserve........

I'll probably wait in line at a local AT&T store with my niece's boyfriend. I called him after the keynote and asked him what time he'd be hitting the store. He said, "Oh, I guess around opening time..."

I said, "Son, you obviously can't do this yourself; I'll take you under my wing and we'll do this together."

He's an iPhone newbie.

Good call with the "reserve" idea. In my case, I want to talk to them about the plan and stuff before picking it all out online because of the family plan issue...so I'll have to wait...

I'm hearing two different release dates... June 17th, and now June 19th, and both from reputable sources. I think it will arrive on Friday, the 19th, but what do you make of the date June 17th?

Perhaps the 17th is the release date for the OS update.

[Saiko]

haha yes, June 17th is the release date for the 3.0 OS.
