I suppose I was lucky. Apple.com has an indicator online as to whether there will be phones available for the Apple stores the next day. You check after 9pm, and then you’ll know if they will be in stock. I had been checking throughout the week, and calling stores, to see if the website was accurate.

It was accurate, if a shipment arrived late, but didn’t update during the day, if a shipment arrives during the day. That’s how the line was so short, I think, because this store received the phones at around 11:30am, and it was almost all walk by traffic that realized they were in stock.

Off the bat, real estate related, I’m not getting a successful FlexMLS session. I get logged in, but cannot actually do a search. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong, or perhaps it simply doesn’t work. I’d really like it to work.

Reading email on the iPhone is awesome, with it connected to my Exchange server. I couldn’t be happier with the integration between Exchange and the iPhone for email, calendaring, and contacts. It was extremely simple to set that up.

Battery life is crappy, and I’m not really even talking on the phone, just browsing. 400 battery cycles will probably go by in under a year.
