I've been wanting an IPhone for months now but decided to wait till the next generation came out. So for the IPhone 3G launch day I took off work and went early to my local AT&T store in Florence, KY. I really didn't think I'd have to get there early as this isn't exactly the center of technology here in KY. I arrived 1 hour before the store opened only to find a line wrapped around the store. After waiting in line 3 hours I get up to the door and the guy before me gets the LAST phone!!!
So then I drive 30 miles up to the closest Apple store and there was an estimated 5 HOUR wait!!! Plus they couldn't promise anything on the stock, so I left thinking I could try again on Saturday. I had to watch my daughter Saturday since my wife had a hair appointment, so after get her breakfast I got to the store 30 mins after they opened. There where two people in line, and the guy in front of me got the last phone again. So I thought I'd try the Apple store again being the day after maybe it had died down, I was wrong; they said it was at least a 3 hour wait. My daughter is way to young for that sorta wait.
Looks like my IPhone dream will have to wait till later....
