Impressions on the iPhone 4- Part 1

Just picked up the new iPhone 4 today. The hype is legitimate. I spoke with one of the team members there today who told me that they had 500 reservations (the maximum) for pick up that day and an undisclosed amount of iPhone 4 available for first-come, first-served.
