Who Got An iPhone Today?

Apple's new iPhone went on sale today [2] around the country. I stopped in at the Apple store in the Cherry Creek Mall around 12:45 pm. There were over 100 people in line. Those just getting in the store had been in line since 8:30 am. They weren't giving out numbers (so I could get a number, go to the jail to see a client and return afterwards) so I left. They did say they had plenty and would not run out. On my way back from the jail around 3:30 pm, I stopped at the AT&T store on 2nd and Milwaukee. There was no line. They also had no more iPhones. They were expecting 70 more tomorrow. 70? That's a joke. I ended up ordering and paying for a 16 GB iPhone at AT&T and they said it will be here in 7 days. We'll see. I won't be surprised to be told it's backordered. If that happens, I'll demand a refund and go buy it from the Apple store which I doubt will still have lines. Apparently, lines weren't the only problem [3] with getting an iPhone today. So, did any of you get one today? Is it all it's cracked up to be? The AT&T folks told me it doesn't have a video player in it. The only videos you can watch are those you download from iTunes and those on You Tube.
