It is zippy! Just feels so much faster. I like the autofocus feature on the camera. If I didn't qualify for a trade-in I wouldn't have gotten it, but I'm glad it worked out the way it did. Can't wait for the jailbreak, though. I miss the 5 row QWERTY and customizable stuff in general.

I'm hoping it will be great, if I can get it activated. The servers must be getting slammed.

@Adam Curry: I just called AT&T support and a robot voice activated mine for me in 5 seconds. I had been sitting here for hours waiting for it to happen on its own.

The reviews were not kidding about the speed. Serious improvement!

The compass feature in google maps is awesome!

@yankeesrule: Hmm, maybe you'd just have to calibrate the compass (the figure 8 motion) each time you put it on or take it off.

I pre-ordered because I qualified for the trade-in. Still don't wanna stand in line so early, but I'm betting (possibly foolishly) that since I live in NYC that there were will be a reasonable dispersion of all the lines at the AT&T stores.

We shall see!

Only reason I'm not getting one is because of AT&T.

I'm gonna wait till the 4th gen. The 3GS doesn't look so exciting to me.

Now iPhone OS 3.0, that's a good upgrade, and it's free!

@dark42: I'm with you. Not enough new in this hardware version to warrant an upgrade from my 3G I bought in August last year.

Installed the 3.0 OS as Giz demonstrated last week. Works great.

No I didn't pre order one. I took 5 generations of iPods before I knuckled under and bought one. I expect it will take at least that long, if not longer before I crack out the coin for an iphone

I preordered. I still have my first generation iPhone, and it is SLLLLLOOOOOOW at the best of times. I also ran out of room on it ages ago. 32GB, here I come!

@Tom Gonzales: It is one of the pre-eminently anticipated hardware releases for phones this year... For the 3rd year running.

Why wouldn't they run articles about it?

If you don't like the apple stories either click the no apple link or go back to facebook.

I am not going to be in my home town until the Monday after launch, so I figure the line wont be too bad. They will be moving faster this year than last year.

I renewed my contact and got my iphone 3G less than 2 months ago, so no I did not pre-order, since AT&T wants to charge a loyal 6-year customer $600 for being a month and a half late.

@marm0lade: Not to be snarky, but wasn't all of the hype on Giz (and everywhere else) that a new model would be announced at WWDC enough for you to wait? Not be a martyr, but I waited a year to get the 3G knowing it would be out when 3G service was mature enough to *cough* handle it.

@Mathray: Yes, I knew of all the hype. I read giz everyday. But AT&T/Apple set a precedent last year when they let all the first gen iphone buyers upgrade at the subsidized price. Now they changed the rules, again.

I know, I know. First gen'ers didn't pay the subsidized price. But if I am not mistaken, apple sent out refunds to those users after they lowered the price of the first gen. So they got a double price-break. No love for 3G users, apparently.

@marm0lade: They didn't set ANY precedent. They let you upgrade from 2G to 3G because the 2G models were NOT SUBSIDIZED BY ATFUCKINGT.

Stop whining about not getting a free upgrade that nobody else ever gets either!

I'm sitting at home all day until it arrives.

Which will be a lot like waiting in line, except that no one else will have to deal with the fact that I'm still in my pajamas.

I never got a tracking number, and my order status just says "by June 19th." We will see.

And, for the record, I do not wear tighty-whities.

I ordered from both Apple and since the Apple order status showed delivery on the 22nd, I placed on order with ATT online. Then I heard about the 7AM line so I called AT&T to cancel the order, but they said it was too late and they would be shipping directly to my home and not to the store (which is why I never had a choice to pick a store). They told me if I went and ordered from the AT&T store it would be delivered there.

@cjudge: I got an e-mail from Apple saying it will be delivered on June 19, no matter what the original e-mail confirmation said. I'm looking forward to receiving it that day here at work.
