Anyone planning to line up? I am not (I’m picking mine up in the morning) but I just cruised by my local  store and there are already 10 people in line but it’s clear they are also holding spots for people. I’m in Woodbridge VA and the weather is actually pretty nice right now for those queueing up, 67 with a low of 57.Only 10 people and in that big of an area.I'm thinking I just might get 'lucky.'

Last year I waited in line for the 7 Plus only to find out that AT&T didn't carry any of them in the area. Only 10 people and in that big of an area.I'm thinking I just might get 'lucky.' Last year I waited in line for the 7 Plus only to find out that AT&T didn't carry any of them in the area.I only saw 10 people but this line is really loosie goosie. When I waited overnight 2 years ago one person would be holding a spot and then 5 of their “friends” would show up. There was a guy in front of me who obviously was a reseller and he had a group of 10 people all to buy the max.

I don’t hate resellers but it frustrated me since I waiting in line for so long and then a large group would just show up and slide in. Anyone planning to line up?

I’m in Woodbridge VA and the weather is actually pretty nice right now for those queueing up, 67 with a low of 57.10 people already. I'm actually in Woodbridge too but I knew I was going to be out of luck trying to wait in line at an Apple store. So I'm heading to my carrier store early-ish in the morning. I called ahead and they said they wouldn't know until tomorrow if they're gonna have the phone in stock.

We'll see what happens. 10 people already. I'm actually in Woodbridge too but I knew I was going to be out of luck trying to wait in line at an Apple store. So I'm heading to my carrier store early-ish in the morning. I called ahead and they said they wouldn't know until tomorrow if they're gonna have the phone in stock. We'll see what happens.I wonder if it would be better to go to a mall location since they probably don’t let people line up overnight?

Either way the mall locations will have both an  and carrier locations.

Click to expand.A mall Apple store is closer to me however I don’t want to mess with trying to figure out which entrance is closest to the Store and then if I wait there, a different door is opened up first. Furthermore even if I’m at the door that’s opened up first AND I’m towards the front of the line, there’s a chance that Apple won’t distribute tickets outside the mall and people behind me in line will push and get in front of me when the mall doors open. Because of all this, I’ll probably go to the Highland Village store and get there around 1 or 2 am. All that being said, I’ve always waited at an AT&T store and always had luck but this phone will be very constrained so I’m probably going to an apple store. Do you know how the line is normally handled at mall stores? Does Apple designate which door they will open for customers and if they’ll give out tickets outside the mall?

Click to expand.I actually live in College Station so the only AT&T stores I called were here, but they all said they weren't receiving any for launch. Im gonna give the AT&T memorial city a call and see what they say EDIT: just called the freestanding store in memorial city (not the one in the mall). They said they'll probably get some stock, but he doesn't know for sure, and he said theres even a chance they might not because there have been some delays or something. I wouldn't risk waiting there. Click to expand.Damn dude, you are committed. That's quite a hike.

Also last year I waited at the 249/Spring Cypress AT&T store over night. I arrived right before they closed so I could ask them about stock, and they were not willing to tell me anything. Wouldn't tell me if they had it or not, just told me to wait in line until tomorrow and see, sure enough, there weren't any the next day. Which annoyed the crap out of me. The point of my story is that your College Station stores are nice to tell you that. Mine screwed me.
