iPhone 3G in the (da?) house!

I’ve been iPhone-less for the past month or so. In the meantime, I’ve been using the Nokia N95 and having a great time. I love using Skyfire and the Sling app. But I have missed the iPhone so dearly. Since I have a FAN account on AT&T, I haven’t been able to go to the Apple Store to wait in line and pick one up. My only option has been the AT&T store which has been sending its allocation of iPhones to direct fulfillment customers (people that come into the store and order the phone and wait for it). I’ve read on various forums that the wait time for direct fulfillment dropped down to a few days. Plus, the Boy Genius report stated that AT&T stores were to begin receiving shipments to sell in-store which means that supply is finally meeting demand.

I walked in to the AT&T store on Monday and ordered an iPhone for my sister and an iPhone for me (one white 16GB and one black 16GB). My sister’s white iPhone arrived the next day (yesterday) and my black iPhone arrived today.

Both came loaded with the 2.0.1 firmware. Now I have to get rid of the N95… Sling, please release an iPhone client ASAP!
