So I'll just assume you are reading this on your soon to be replaced cell phone as you wait in line for your iPhone. Pretty sure I'll go check one out to see what the fuss is tomorrow with a store right near me.

Robots! Tazers!
Dude, air guitar
Yay bald eagle
Farming has been around for a while

Lastly, it hurts to be bullied online. Really.

HEY EVERYBODY! I JUST GOT MY IPHONE!!!

i went to the mall at noon and sat in line behind 5 people. nobody else showed up for about another hour or two. and nobody was hot. sucks. but anyway, waited 6 hours, skipped into the AT&T store (no longer has the cingular sign up, just AT&T), asked for the 8GB one, and then waited another 30 minutes because i was a new account and computers were crashing or simply not responding to creating new accounts. oh well, they gave me the phone and told me to activate it online. so that's what i'm doing now. waiting for the activation to finally go through, it's taking a bit of a while.

but the phone is sexy and i can't wait to start using it.
