My New iPhone Can’t Come Soon Enough

Yesterday afternoon I went with the lovely @beautifulthangs to the ATT&T store to order our iPhones. I held off on the first generation in hopes that by some luck Steve Jobs might break the exclusive contract with ATT&T and open the phone up to the Verizon network, but seeing as how that just wasn't happening anytime soon, I decided to take the plunge and make it happen.
