I've got my iPhone!
My wife waited in line for two hours, then I joined her for another two hours. We were the 17th in line at the Mall View AT&T store and I had my phone by 6:45 PM. This thing is cool. It functions like you think it should. There is virtually no need for a manual. Think about that. The most advanced smart phone ever made and it requires no manual to operate.
The touch surface is amazing. Very responsive to the simple gestures needed to navigate the interface.
Sound quality is great for a phone. My wife told me that it's easier to hear me when I called from the iPhone than when I called from my old phone. There are a lot of ringtones included but I'm disappointed that I can't use my own music as a ringtone. Maybe in the future they will update the software to allow this.
Overall, definitely worth what I paid. ($599 for the 8GB version) I plan to use this to help keep me organized.

After a long night of camping out for the new iPhone, I wondered if it was going to be worth it. After activating my iPhone it was ready to go. I was very supprised at how easy it was to set up and start using. I had no errors and no problems with it. The picture quality is amazing for a 2MP camera. Customizing the iPhone is as simple as the flick of a finger. I believe it was worth the $600. The 8GB of storge for music is perfect. Connecting it to the computer was a snap. Flawless and easy for any computer user. Overall I give it two thumbs up. - Brandon
