The Apple iPhone 3G! I LOVE IT! Except the battery sucks! – from my experience, the 3G will kill the battery, I had to turn it off in the settings.
Except for the battery sucking, this is absolutely the best mobile device I have ever used! Apple has surely raised the bar on mobile devices!
I spent all night in front of the Apple Store in Durham, NC at the Streets of Southpoint. I arrived around 10:30 p.m. and became the 2nd person in line for the night! YES! The first person was going to be a freshman in college his year, and he was also the first in line at the same store for the original iPhone launch. He could have not been anymore excited than myself to get his hands on the 16GB white iPhone 3G. I decided to go with black to keep the white plastic from changing colors because of the dirt. Although, I did want the white one!
After sitting all night, the store opened at 8 a.m. with a lot of enthusiasm. We were the first new iPhone customers to enter the store. Well, at least he thought he was going to be one of them.
As he was going through the AT&T setup, the computer told him he needs to go to the AT&T store to get his new iPhone 3G. He was rejected by the Apple Store from purchasing the new iPhone. He didn’t have a business plan. Come to find out, I think he had a corporate discount applied to his current plan which made AT&T think it was a business customer. I ran into this same problem and had to call AT&T and get the FAN removed. Once it was removed, the process worked like a charm. I am now an iPhone 3G owner – Black 16GB.
Unfortunately, the first person in line didn’t get his iPhone after waiting from 10:30 at night till 8 the next morning. If this was myself, I would have been one mad customer.
A couple of the news stations were there along with a group of students from Savannah Art College. I ran across their video on Youtube about the first person in line getting rejected from getting his iPhone 3G.

If that was you, what would you have done? If this happened to you, what did you do? Do you now have an iPhone 3G?
