I pulled into the Bayshore parking lot at about 6:15 this morning. When I got over to the Apple Store at 6:25, there were about 50-60 people in line. Dan met me closer to 7:00, and Jen closer to 8:00. The Apple Store server is getting crushed with activation requests, so people who tried to activate the phone from the store were sitting there for 20, 30, 40 minutes. The actual purchase & account setup process took me about 10 minutes (thanks, Elijah). After getting walked over to an iMac and trying the A.S. Activation 10 or 15 times, I asked if that step had to be done at an Apple store - the answer was no. Since I was already an hour late for work at the time, I opted to leave. So, I have a physical iPhone in my possession. But until the traffic to the iTunes Apple Store dies down a bit, I won't be able to get or make calls.
