iPhone Purchase and Unboxing

The wait wasn't too bad. After only a few hours on line, an iPhone was obtained. There were a few characters on line and many merchants marketing to the folks waiting on line. The product itself is a work of engineering... sadly, AT&T's activation service choked hard on the volume from the initial push and it took over 24 hours to activate the phone.

As I wait on line, I hope it's worth it! The line has moved and I'm inside! I have my accessories and can see the iPhone that is to be mine! My iPhone, the Jaw Bone headset and a silicone case The every so helpful and friendly Apple Store dude There literally was a crowd of store employees cheering as we came in to buy our phones. Got it all home, the unboxing beings... All the stuff in the fancy bag The wireless bluetooth headset (Jawbone), the case and of course, the iPhone The iPhone box from the front The iPhone box from the side The iPhone box from the back The iPhone box from the other side The OpenX and the iPhone box - seriously, if you don't own and use an OpenX to open plastic packages, you are just asking to hurt yourself or your goods! Halfway open... Almost got the plastic off No more plastic, slowly opening the iPhone box Box top off (I wonder if anyone is offering a prize for iPhone box tops?) The packaging is slick Unpacking the box piece by piece Under the instructions book are the cables and charger Under the charger and dock is the USB cable and headphones It fits nicely in my hand (front) It fits nicely in my hand (side) It fits nicely in my hand (back) It fits nicely in my hand (side) It fits nicely in my hand (top) It fits nicely in my hand (bottom) It fits nicely in my hand (front - landscape) Comparing iPhone to my old SonyEricsson - roughly the same height and width Comparing iPhone to my old SonyEricsson - iPhone is much thinner
