Even with that supposed handicap of an exposed antenna, iPhone 4 reception is actually better than on the 3GS[…]

There’s no reason, at least yet, to forgo buying an iPhone 4 over its reception concerns.

Well, after dropping my new iPhone on the pavement and getting a couple of scratches on it, I decided to get a case for it - this bamboo case from Grove looks fantastic; can’t wait for it to arrive.

Well, Apple brought the Smart Water, and Dos Coyotes brought chicken burritos. Nice!

Half-hour in, line us moving at a nice pace. Good job Apple!

Just moved up the line a huge chunk. Hopefully they’ll be able to process everyone pretty quickly.

Well, an absolute ton of blue-shirted Apple employees just ran down the line, high-fiving everyone and cheering. Crazy.

Line has just about wrapped back in on itself, and still growing!
