Line Report: AT&T store, Union Square NYC

Nice of you to stop on your way to work at *9:15*. - Your boss.

FYI - line at Willow Bend Mall, Plano (Suburb of Dallas) is about 50 people as of noon. The line is formed through the mall walkway, in between two guard ropes (what the heck do they call those fuzzy bank line ropes?).

I went just to get an idea what the wait is like (no way I'm waiting in line for more than an hour), saw the line and promptly gave up hope. But I did dash in to see if the store had a laptop bag I wanted (no).

About ten feet inside the entrance of the store, there is a line of black-shirts that almost looks like a riot squad formation. I had to twist my body to edge through to the back of the store. I thought they were gonna stop me.

I just checked again, the DC (12th & F, NW) AT&T store now has a yellow guard rope out and three people in line.

Was in downtown Columbia, MD for lunch. Apple store at the mall has a line about 20 deep, AT&T kiosk in the mall was empty. The AT&T store down Little Pax had no line at all.

I'm in downtown DC and, last I checked, the AT&T store across the street from where I work (on 12th & D, NW) had a big iPhone banner and no line out front. (I'm not there because, first, I can't afford and iPhone and second, I gotta work.)

@Jay Tei - nobody's holding a gun to your head. TUAW even created a special feed for people who wanted to avoid iPhone news. It seems like maybe you like complaining more than you dislike hearing iPhone news?

Here's a handy iphone locator for today:

40-ish people in line at the Perimeter Mall Apple Store in Atlanta, GA. The Apple folk are giving out Smart water.

Please stop spreading FUD. The policy was announced before the video aired.

Tired of hearing about the iPhone.
