who's to say that these are people upgrading from 3g? i don't know one person who plans to upgrade from 3g, but i know a LOT of people who will be getting their first iphone. these are people whose contracts expired and have been waiting for this (and/or pre) but have decided to go with iphone.

@itchytooth: I'm upgrading because my mom gets free cell phone service for the family through her work, and I sold my 3G on eBay for a ridiculous price (it's amazing how much money people will pay if you install yell0wstone on your phone, haha). I've actually made a (very) slight profit. Resell values on Apple products are almost suspiciously high.

@ACDlite: Cool. I'm not willing to sell my 3G before the 3GS arrives, but I figured I'll be able to offset at least most the price of upgrade via eBay. So, for a little bit of trouble and maybe $100-$200, it's definitely worth it, for me, to upgrade to a faster phone, with more storage and a better camera.

So if you pre-ordered your phone, do you still have to wait in line or do they hold it for you? I'm confused. They made it seem like I would have it waiting for me whenever at the AT&T store.

HAHA I already pre-ordered mine!

• That means I get to wake-up early on the 19th, stand in line with other lemmings.

• Be annoyed by inept AT&T sales people.

• Pay a 9% tax on the full price of the phone (approx. $65.00)

• Spend more money on a protective case.

• Go home and restore all my data (i.e. crap)

• Decide what to do with my perfectly good 2G.

• Go to work and try to get something done besides indulging in ego gratification to be followed shortly thereafter by buyer's remorse.

AND YOU DON'T!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

@The Terminator: Do you really want that case? Life is too short to entomb every last gadget in a bulbous layer of protection.

PLEASE, Apple and ATT knew this would happen, they knew exactly why they ordered too few.

Press, like this.

@wcnghj: Indeed. It's not like iPhone buyers are going to switch to competing phones just because they have to wait a month or two. Apple wants the iPhone to be sold out, so the press will say that they sold out.

Why can't those 12-year-old slave-labor manufacturers move faster!!! We need an iPhone for everyone! Now!

@32ndnote: The problem is that the damned mollycoddled workers are being allowed to have chairs. If they want to speed up production, they need to do what Canon does. And I'd say ankle chains would not be out of order.
