Today, I joined the ranks of the iPhone wielders.
Despite the phone being out two weeks now, when we got to the Rancho Cucamonga Apple Store this morning a little after 8, there was still a line around the corner of the building. I pity the fool who showed up at 5 minutes until 10 (the official store opening time) expecting to waltz right in and get a phone, especially since they had been letting people in since 8:25 or so. (My iPhone quest was aided by using the official site info on availability and not-so-official peeks at the raw feed, which is apparently updated about once an hour during the day.)
I picked up a 16 GB old school white iPhone, and despite an early glitch with the GPS (it thought I was in Germany east of Darmstadt until we left a 3G coverage area and the GPS righted itself), it’s been a great little machine.

Or, at least, the weekend I got an iPhone 3G. But the Rancho Cucamonga Apple store, after having them in stock all week, was out of them this weekend.
Maybe next weekend.
