CORRECTION: Before Becky has a heart attack… the caption “Sent from my iPhone” was added automatically by the phone that I was trying out in the store. Same goes for the posts below. I did not — repeat, did not — buy an iPhone. :)

Here we go!

They're taking the shades off the storefront.

Not everyone is buying into the excitement of iPhone mania…

Starbucks just came around and gave out free coffee. The mall cops just made everyone stand up and consolidated the line. Looks like there are about 50 people in line behind me.

All this build-up, and I'm not even buying one…

Apple Store employees are giving away free water to the people in the iPhone line.

Darn it… either the Apple Store has turned off its Wi-Fi, or I'm too far away to pick up the signal. And I forgot to bring my modem phone. I guess this means I actually have to study while I wait. ;)

Looks like between 30 and 40 people in line at the Knoxville Apple Store. … The mall rent-a-cop just told a guy with a baby that he can't use a chair that was (and now is again) sitting unused at a vendor's table next to the line. Ah, arbitrariness.

Gizmodo is broadcasting live from the iPhone line in San Francisco. Here’s the full webcast page.

P.S. This strikes me as rather ridiculous: “AT&T isn’t including access to its own Wi-Fi hotspot network as part of an iPhone plan.” WTF? Not even as a reasonably-priced upgrade, discounted from what the general public pays? C’mon.

UPDATE: Here’s another webcast.
