    Should I order my iPhone from the online Apple Store, or stop by the at&t store after school tomorrow? I know usually people recommend to buy stuff directly from Apple, just wondering.

    It doesn't really make a difference...although usually the shopping experience is better at the Apple Store than at AT&T, so I hear :p.

    But yeah, since you'd be ordering online, doesn't really make a difference. Pick whatever will you get the iPhone as quick as possible ;).

    lol, yeah. I was thinking at&t. I called today to see if they had any. They(at&t) were very helpful and friendly.

    I'm pretty excited. This is my first cell phone. I've always been on a family plan with the parents(Alltel, great service, horrible selection of phones). Gotta spend my money somewhere I guess.

    Wow, first cellphone? Lucky, getting the iPhone as first cell! My first cellphone was clunky and B & W screen :D.

    Congrats on (going to ;)) getting the iPhone. Tell us how you think of it :).

    Well, AT&T upgraded its entire EDGE network for the iPhone; EDGE on AT&T is much faster than it used to be.

    And for Chant, maybe you should wait for iPhone 2 first :p.
