Line? What line?

I showed up this morning just 5 minutes before the Verizon store opened. I was 17th in line. I was in and out with my new iPhone by 7:30am. When I left, there were just 2 people still waiting outside. The Verizon guy that set me up said that 2 girls got there at 10pm and spent the night outside, and one guy showed up at 1am, but everyone else showed up after 6am. So much for the "crazy rush." I'd hate to have been one of those waiting all night or at least for a few hours when barely anyone showed up in the end. I am in Miami btw, so it's not like I was at a Verizon in South Dakota haha.

At store near me here in NYC, seems like a steady flow. About five people in line the few times that I have gone by. No crazy rush, but I bet the total sales for the day will still be very good. Still glad I did the pre-order.

I reserved a phone for pick up at the Apple Store but since the site said I couldn't get it until 12 noon I decided to head to a VZW store around 8:20AM. I was greeted by 2 security guards and 10 reps ready to wait on me. There were only 2 other customers in the store. So glad I got up at 3AM to reserve a phone. Went by the Apple store around 12pm and there was no waiting. Albany, NY here.

I think to many people are locked into contracts. At least when the new phones come out in the summer there is a whole group of people coming off a contract.
