iPhone 3G…the Masses Appear Before Dawn

We arrived outside the mall at 5am, expecting to see a small line until the Apple Store inside opened up at 8am. What we saw, wasn’t what we expected.

We were 120th or so in line, at 5am, at around 7am, 100-200 more people arrived. 

Then at around 7:10 or so, some douche-bag mall-owner guy came up and told us to put away lawn chairs and tents, which totally discouraged laptop use. He also told us that at 7:30, we would be allowed inside the mall to wait beside the apple store. He was wrong, we didn’t get in until around 7:45.

Then, when the Apple Store opened it’s doors to all ye faithful of the JesusPhone 3G, the line began to move with about 50 people in the Apple Store at once.

Then once we edged closer towards the Apple Store, things seemed to slow down. This was due to the tards over at AT&T whose servers “weren’t prepared” (what happened to the time between June 9th and July 11th????) for the vast expanse of data users in the upcoming day. We stayed in a spot near the Apple Store from 9:30 until 11. 

So finally at around 12:30 or so, we reach our destination (sick & tired of line-sitting I might add), the heavenly packed Apple Store. We get our phones from a teal-clad apple guy/dude and he sets us up.

So after purchasing them, it took us at least 45 tries to get all our phones activated without error. but after that, all was fine in the world of Tyler Haze and the reiteration of the JesusPhone was in our hands. Un-boxing and hands-on in a bit!
