iPhone Launch Gallery: Michigan Ave. in Chicago, IL
At 5:45 CST, the 50 or so Apple employees opened the door, and the line started rolling through. Seems like things moved fast, and by 6:30 or so, lots of people had walked out carrying the little black bags with the iPhone on the side, and they started letting us plebians into the store to check out the iPhone. Having loaded TUAW on all their display units, I headed out at around 7:00, and from what I saw, they still had tons of iPhones left, even after having sold a good few hundred from my estimation. All in all, a very smooth launch. Check the gallery below to experience it for yourself.

Aw, I should have snapped some shots of the release here in Minneapolis... I was too busy with the excitement of getting my iPhone, I guess.
I did get a video of Apple employees putting up the black curtains around 2-3pm, though. :P

I wasn't crazy enough to type my name and pass into a public iPhone and find out, James, sorry.
