    Me and my friend were 1st and 2nd in line at First Colony Mall in Sugar Land. I got the 8 gig and I have no regrets so far.

    As long as you've been synching your contacts with your iTunes, it backs them up. So after the update it will give you the option of restoring info from one of your backups

    I've never synced with iTunes before. When I connect my iPhone to my laptop and go to info it says I can sync my contacts with Outlook, but that's it. How exactly do I sync with iTunes so that my contacts are backed up? Thanks in advance.

    I have a question. We have two phones on a family plan and pay about 80 bucks a month for them. If I add the iphone to it how much will my bill go up?

    ATT's page with pricing is pretty vague.

    Dude, when it comes to billing and financial matters I'd suggest talking to AT&T directly...everyone's bills seem to be different, especially when it comes to mobile phones.

    Go into itunes and select devices from the left menu. It will be in those options.

    Sorry man I never even saw this until now.

    When you plug in the phone and select it, you'll see a bunch of tabs in the main window. One of these should be 'info'. Here you can select to sync contacts and calendars and such. If you select contacts there should be a drop down box that asks you what you want to sync your contacts with. This is where you choose Outlook.

    To anyone still trying to get a 3G iPhone, the Apple Stores have been getting shipments daily. Last week I went to the one in the Woodlands Mall. I got there around 11:30, there was a line of about 8 people which I got in. About an hour later, I walked out with my phone.

    I know the Apple availabilty site says they don't have any, but that site checks inventory at 9PM everyday. What is happening is the phones are coming in around 10 or 11 AM, they sell out at about 2 so at 9 they don't have any in stock.

    I understand everyone can't sit in line all day or hang out at the store until they get some in, but a couple of hours wait is probably better than waiting for 2 or 3 weeks from the AT&T store.

    is it true you can go to the AT&T store and just pre-order one? then, when it comes in...it is set aside for you to just buy and activate?

    i would rather do that if i'm going to get one.

    I waited at my ATT store the Saturday after release for 45 minutes before they opened and got one for my wife.

    She loves it.

    I'm still rocking the OG first gen iPhone.

    Baybrook Apple Store at 8 a.m. tomorrow for anyone who wants one. Was there today getting an iPod dock for my wife and asked the head salesguy.

    As soon as you get the phone and get it up and running, go to the app store and download Phone Saber. It's free, and you'll be SO glad you did. :cool:

    The 2 things I've been disappointed with so far with the iPhone :

    1) What do you mean I can't store files on this thing without hacking it or buying semi-functional 3rd party apps?!

    2) I can't send an attachment like a Word file to someone via email? I guess I can log into my Yahoo account via the browser and do it from there? Pain.

    Any of you have suggestions for the above 2? And no, hacking is not an option. :)


    Things I like :

    1) I love the main reason I got the phone - a real browser
    2) ... on a really nice interface.
    3) ... on a real screen
