It Has Begun
It is now 6pm eastern time. The first iPhones are being purchased even as I type this. As predicted by the Mayans, the Moon will now fall into the Sun and time will end.
But until then, we should be getting the first unboxing pron, first-hand set-up stories, and actual civilian "I'm using it right now" posts.
I suggest this thread as a place to report on what's getting said.

You know what's weird about it. We Mac rumors freaks are used to this kind of thing. Hell, we do it when Apple releases a new mouse. It's just that today, the rest of the world is doing it too.
I predict terms like "Mac zealot" and "Apple fanboy" will become non-pejorative, as "geek" has done.
After all, when everyone is drinking the kool-aid, we can agree to just call it "water".

FREAK I SAY.... FREAKS!
Security was surprisingly tight. LOL...the mall cops got their 15 minutes. The crowd cheered when the doors opened, and the first few people were interviewed by a reporter. Pretty wild scene. Its hard to believe that a few years ago people were saying that Apple was about to go out of business.
Hmmmm, photos aren't resolving for me....
fixed
Engadget has their's up.

These appear to be the best so far.
a week ago this dude had never heard of apple computer or iphone.
He was summoned like the people in close encounters of the 3rd kind. Via dreams and premonitions...
Next up: people get em' activated and start uploading the iPhone in action vids, plus our first honest to God regular Joe impressions of the user experience.
Now images yet but you can give your email address to be notified when the surgery commences and get the live feed......
EDIT: Apparently their server is getting hammered, may be awhile....
So who is going to be the first to post from an iPhone?
And oh my god that's me........this is amazing its like real internet
