I tried it in the store yesterday and it was pretty cool. There's like a split sec lag but nothing really noticeable.

WHat is it you want me to notice? You still take potshot comments the instant someone comes running in here screaming there is some problem, no matter how big, insignificant, or overblown it might be.

Good to hear.

Although I have ZERO signal where I'm at, minus the occasional blip from Edge.

Dumb question -- If I buy the phone at the apple store this weekend, can they activate it and transfer over the number from my blackberry (at&t account of course)? Or do I need to call at&t / go to at&t store to activate?

Sorry if this is a retarded question or covered already.

Nice. Hopefully they'll have phones in stock and it's not completely mobbed.

I was pretty shocked at how many they had in stock yesterday. hundreds. With that much stock...its a wonder why they couldn't have had more June 24th online reservations and in store reservations available.

I believe apple.com is set up like past releases to see who has stock of what.....just dont expect to walk in there without a zoo of a line though.

5k at one mall, 1500 at another here. And there are two more stores in the area, didn't hear any counts from those.

Incredible.

I wish you could check stock without having to go through AT&T's verification servers. I wouldn't mind just picking one up next week instead of waiting.

Anyone else having wifi issues? It seems if I hold it a certain way then wifi just dies on my much like the iPad. I haven't figured out the exact position yet but it happened to me twice last night while holding it sideways to watch a video.

Color me not surprised

No one to test FaceTime with? Call Apple.
June 25, 2010 11:59 by Darren Murph

Be it because you have no friends, or simply no friends with an iPhone 4, Apple's got your back if you're looking for a chum to test that curiously intriguing FaceTime feature. Just dial up 1-888-FACETIME (after cleaning yourself up a bit, of course) and hang tight, as a dapper Apple employee will be there in a moment to "show you the basics and a few advanced tips." And don't even try any of those late night shenanigans -- the help line's only open from 8AM to 8PM CDT.

Yeah, on release day of course. They showed pics of the Manhattan stores today and it's much, much less. I'm not expecting an empty store, but I'll give it a shot tomorrow. If there's an hour line, I can wait til next week.

Once the first day people get out of the way, I'm hoping it will die down considerably.

I don't know that I could even pick one up at this point, having one on order.

I'm sure I'll have plenty of other shit to do next week.

Rep said on Facetime you are not using anybody's minutes because you are on wifi.
