I almost bought an iphone last year.  But the cost of breaking my contract with sprint, and the thought of a faster, better, iphone a year later managed to keep me from pulling my instant gratification card out and just buying one.  This year is different.  I let my Sprint contract expire.  As you saw from the previous post my attempts to get att support to be helpful have failed miserably.  But, in the morning I will be heading out to a local att store to pick up a phone.  Rumor has it that each store will  have 40 8gb and 40 16gb iphones with more to arrive mid-day.  Apple stores supposedly have 300 or so and more to be delivered tomorrow as well.  In Austin, I’ve been by 2 stores this evening, my buddy praxis has been by 2 stores and our other buddy Hector has been by 2 stores - all say the same thing and all of them are free of apple fan boys camping out.

Tomorrow, I’ll be up early with my laptop, camera, and lawn chair (if needed) to find the best store to pick up my iphone.  Really I’m just looking to be one of the first 10-20 or so to ensure I get one in the morning, and since Austin has lots of att stores and 2 separate apple stores I think I’m ok.  I’ll take some pictures while I’m there and post when I get a chance.
