Here’s the proof of my new acquisition. I waited in line for an hour at a local AT&T store only to realize their sense of speed is not the same as Apple’s. So I broke off the line and headed out to the Apple Store in SOHO were it took only 10 minutes to go in the store and walk out with an iPhone. I even went back a couple of hours later and got one for my wife, it was her birthday on Sunday after all. I was very impressed with Apple’s efficiency and preparedness. They had an employee in almost every turn just like the parking lot at Disney. Plus they had an army of employees with portable wireless checkout devices and were checking out people in less than 2 mins. Much better than the 20 people an hour I experienced at the AT&T store. I wasn’t able to transfer my L.A. number and I didn’t have the patience to call and work that out. So we are now official newyoricans with NY IDs and phone numbers.
And the iPhone… well, it’s all the hype and more. Truly revolutionary. I’ve already set up twitter with iPhone and I am hooked.

Congratulations, I can’t wait for the launching in Europe :P
Very nice! And fantastic choice on your Twitter background as well :)
Congrats my friend. I can’t get enough of mine either.
Hmmm, extreme jealousy welling, anger rising, eyes bulging… insult blurting ‘Happy for you dude!’…;)
Man, I can’t wait for this phone to be released here in Sweden! =)
I know that it is possible to import and unlock the phone, but I would prefer a iPhone where I don’t need to worry about warranties.
