Last year, it was a piece of cake to get the iPhone.  AT&T sold out very quickly, but the Apple Store had plenty, and even the next day, you could walk in at any time of the day, and get one.

But this year, it's a different story.  I didn't get it on launch day since I went to Myrtle Beach.  I did get it a week later and I stood in line for six hours!  I thought I'd go right when it opened, and leave one hour later, but one hour turned into two, two to three, etc. 

After a few hours, we were given tickets that guaranteed we were getting a phone.  The popular color seemed to be black, but I wanted something different, so I got a white.

Best of all, this was free from my company!
