Howdy, I'm thinking of getting the iPhone on launch(as well as half the population of America). Anyhow, is there anything I should do to make sure that I get my on launch day. I understand that you can't reserve them and wanted to know when I should get to the Apple store to pick up one.

Does Apple usually have a setup for the launch of highly-anticipated products (i.e. line, etc.). I'm excited for the launch of the iPhone and would be a bummer if I was to get there when they open up and either see a huge line or someone telling me that they are sold out.

Anyone's opinion on this would be most helpful.

wait for at least one price drop and /or 3g upgrade

Well yes, the iPhone is pretty expensive, but hey it is way more than a phone. It is a miniature full-fledged touchscreen computer.
Sure go ahead a buy one if you want.

As for the launch of the iPhone, I'm sure Google will help you know when it's out.

june 29 at 6pm is the official starting of the iphone sales.

yah the EDGE network is too slow to support something of the caliber to its highest level -- i'm waiting until it goes 3G

I decided not to get it and to stick with basically an idea such as yours. After really thinking about it, at $500-$600 would be dumb for a cell phone and on top of it requiring a 2 year agreement. I'm going to wait until AT&T to give a discount for the phone with the agreement (Most likely it will go down to around $200 when that happens).

It's confusing to me why Apple decided not to go with the 3G network. Most new advance phones come with the 3G network.

I still want the iPhone, but I can wait until the price drops and maybe some hardware upgrades. Thanks anyway though for the tips everyone.
