For those of us who will be standing in line, let's hear all about your iPhone 4S release day experience!

**Be wearing your black shirt and jeans in memory of Steve Jobs!

  • Where did you purchase your 4S?
  • How early did you arrive?
  • Include photos of your line!
  • How long did it take to process your purchase and get you out the door?
  • Did you have an good or bad experience?
  • Did you pay full retail or upgrade pricing?

Arrived at 1 of our Verizon Stores at 7:40am only 11 people in line ahead of me! I was customer 009, they opened the doors at 7:50am, passed out a form, the first 5 people in line entered at 8:00am sharp, I was in the second group, I purchased, activated and out by 8:25am!

It beat waiting for the FedEx guy to arrive at 2:00pm! Verizon was well organized and were getting people in and out quickly!

All I can say is A M A Z I N G..oh and I love the white iPhone 4S!

Since I did not preorder my iPhone 4S and Im going to be one of those standing in line at my local Verizon Store on Friday, I thought I would start a thread for us to post our release day experience..

  • Where did you purchase your 4S?
  • How early did you arrive?
  • How long did it take to process your purchase and get you out the door?
  • Did you have an good or bad experience?
  • Did you pay full retail or upgrade pricing?

Maybe this can be added as a sticky! :)



Why didn't you post this on like Thursday night ;) But, nice thread good idea!

AT&T store for me. I'm a night owl and might just take a good nap and sit in my car in the parking alot at 3AM and wait til a line forms. But at the latest I would say 6AM or so for me. I have many options close by. I will drive by Apple, 2 different at&t stores and Best Buy and take a look.
