So yesterday (friday) at lunch, we went to the apple store at Southpoint mall in durham, nc. The line was around the building (all the way around to the back of the building). Our friend talked to the guy at the front of the line. He had been in line since 7am (stores opened at 8am) and it took him 5 hours to get to the front of the line. We gave up and ate lunch at the food court. Five guys have good burgers (messy, but good).
Today, we headed to the mall again. We get there...the line looks like it's coming from Barnes and Noble. No such luck, it's just there is no shade next to the apple store, so folks lined up a few feet away next to the Barnes and Noble. An apple emplyee was out in the line. He told us that the line would take an estimated 3-4 hrs (ok, and yesterday's line was well over twice as long physically and buggy issues as well). He also told us that existing attm customers with discounts (like our company discount) can only activate the iphone at an ATTM store (and let us know that stores in the area were out of the iphone). He mentioned we could call ATTM and have our discount removed (takes 48 hrs) and then come back. So, I'm not as bummed as I was yesterday (I really was thinking I could get one...they mentioned a line but said that they would not be running out over the phone). When we were leaving the mall after a few errands, the apple store employees were handing out waters and ice cream sandwiches to folks in the store.
So maybe in another few days I'll get it when one of the attm stores gets more iphones in.
