So Close to the IPhone 3G but so far away...

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....
