Wow!
Amongst the lucky few James.
By the time I returned to my hotel last night, 7/2 was the earliest for shipping, not for receiving.
I figure I will have to do an early wait in line on 6/24 for when the store opens at 7 a.m.
Pack a lunch and some cocktails while I at it.

The iPad line started around 3AM around here. I got there at 10AM and was about 2 blocks from the store in line.

You have got to be kidding me!!!
No way I will do that.
I can wait for it to be eventually dropped off at my door.
Screw that.

I ordered 2 this morning.
Won't be shipped until the 2nd. Arriving between the 6th and 8th.
I'd rather wait just over a week than fight with the people at the Apple store.
I'll be in Vegas during that wait time, so I won't even notice.
I do have one on reserve, but I was having issues reserving a second one, so I'll just cancel it.

Just took a different road, same as yours.
Heck with waiting in line all day on the 24th.
Mine ships on the 2nd as yours. I can wait until then and save the personal day and frustration.

What really made me do it is what I now read in Apple's site.
It had two options yesterday. One of them is now replaced to show you local Apple stores. Says you can just walk up and buy up to two while supplies last. Why the heck did some of us waste our time making a reservation, to wait in line, to perhaps lose out our phone to someone who just shows up and did nothing else?

Site:
Buy at your favorite Apple Retail Store.
Visit an Apple Retail Store starting at 7 a.m. on June 24 to buy iPhone 4 on a first-come, first-served basis. (Limit two per person.)

I think people who show up on the 24th and wait in line without a reservation are being highly optomistic about getting a iphone that day.
