Happy iPhone Day

Friday, July 11, 2008
A new iPhone 3G in box

The iPhone 3G hit stores at 8 AM this morning, and the reviews are already flooding in from around the web. Are any OZaC readers planning on heading to the Church of Jobs or their local AT&T shop to pick up the new phone? I didn’t wait in any lines, but if supplies last I may stroll down to my local AT&T store to pick one up.

Coverage: Gizmodo, Engadget, Twitter.

Update: it appears that both Apple and AT&T are having difficulties getting people’s phones activated.

Update #2: A drive-by of my local AT&T store in Queens, NY found the line to be about 50-deep at 11 AM. Maybe I’ll give it a week.

Update #3: An unhappy iPhone customer recounts activation problems from Houston to San Francisco (via MG Siegler on FriendFeed).

Update #4: The activation servers are back online, and iPhones are being activated. The lines at Apple stores around the country are a few hours long, but most do not expect to run out of stock. Some have closed down their lines in order to close by midnight.
