iPhone 3G S Launch Day: Photos from 5th Avenue

Good morning! All day today we'll be updating with reports from iPhone 3G S purchasers around the country, both here and on Twitter. So far the lines seem modest and activation is reportedly going smoothly. Victor notes that AT&T store lines are short where he is and if you are not the primary account holder on your cell plan, you have to go to AT&T anyway to upgrade.

Morning schedules and slow subways kept me from the 7 am store open at 5th Avenue (since Apple moved it earlier from 8 am due to AT&T opening its stores at 7), but by 7:30 the line was still active and purchasers were beginning to emerge. NYPD reports that about half the barricaded area was full at 7 am.

Waiting in line right now at the Apple store at Flatiron Crossing in Broomfield, CO. Got here about 9:20 and they said the line for pre-orders is about an hour-fifteen.

Walked into AT&T store at 9 a.m. in Lakeland, FL. Walked out at 9:10 a.m.with activated iPhone 3GS in hand and old iPhone 3G with "no service". Old phone is now essentially an Ipod Touch.

I went to the AT&T store across from Penn Station. I was in line for less than 10 minutes and activation/paper work took about 15 minutes. I was out of the store by 7:30. The wait at the Apple looks much longer.
