All is well that ends in pizza.

OA, what speeds are they promising to deliver?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I couldn't find any upload speed promised. That's why I was curious if there was a norm, and if I was in it.

Went to the Apple Store today to get a bag for new work computer. There is a line around the building. I'm like, "what the heck? Did they announce something I hadn't heard of?" Nope, still have a line for the new iPhone! I dunno if Dallas is just behind in the distribution? Or is it the same in other areas?

Hey. New board.

I showed up a 6:45 a.m. on Sunday at the Fifth Avenue store and they had already closed the line. As many people in line as there were phones.

I'm strongly considering saying screw it and just getting a Centro or Blackberry Curve. It's cheaper, especially in the long run for me on T-mobile, and provides adequate data speed for my needs. I can then get an iPod Touch if I really need the apps at a later time.

thanks le nubian. I could get in fine. And I purchased a bag. It was just kinda strange to see a line still. It seemed to be run very well. Line outside not blocking the door. Another inside in the A/C. And a person at the door letting in folks a few at a time to keep the line moving.

Our wings are not tired

They've already sold over a million iPhone 3G's. That took 74 days with the original iPhone. They are having some issues meeting demand.

Tamara is coming over to the thread and needs help with a laptop. She would prefer PC, and I don't know what her budget is.

I'm likely to recommend Dell first, but I know others who prefer different brands.
