And remember all, it’s like buying a new car. Give it some time, and it will become much cheaper!

I, too, plan to purchase an iPhone (my first, and a birthday present to myself). But I, too, refuse to wait in line that long. And if I have to wait a few months because they didn’t make enough to deal with initial demand, oh well. I’ll be disappointed, but at least I won’t have stood in line for three hours when I could have been doing something much more interesting or productive or fun.

I had an iPhone–the original version, and I must say it was love at first sight. I did not, however, wait in a three-hour line for it. Then it got stolen, so I decided to wait for the new iPhone to come out before I replaced it. And I bought a $14 phone at Target in the meantime. Which sucks, but it works. I can’t wait for my new iPhone, but every day I call the Apple Store to find out how long the wait is, and it is, shall we say, prohibitive. I refuse to stand in that kind of line for anything. Even ice cream. So I guess I won’t be getting the holy grail for what? A week? Two? Will they even make enough of these things?

I just learned how to text on my little ‘ole cell phone, so it will be years before I graduate to the IPhone.
