Aim for the eyes!

Anyway, if I get the iPhone 3G S (and that’s a big if), I have the luxury of not being a tech blog writer and not being a previous iPhone purchaser. I would definitely wait for all of the crowds and hype to go away and calmly walk into an AT&T store to purchase one.

Get it installed already. :)

I’d probably go to a random AT&T or Apple Store when they opern. Doubt there’s going to be a crush this time.

If I canceled my att online order and placed one with Apple today, do you think I would actually be losing ground because I would be behind all the people who already ordered from Apple?
