I recently purchased the new iphone 3gs, this was an upgrade from my previous iphone.  The phone I had before was only the 1st generation.  So in preparing to purchase the phone I looked online and found out that you can reserve your phone.  I thought this would expedite the process by leaps and bounds.  I was so worried about the lines.  With each release of the iphone the lines were horrible and just not worth the trouble.  So I put in my reservation for the newly opened waikiki location.  To my suprise there was no line but at least I gauranteed myself a phone on that day.  The whole process took only just a few moments.  After receiving my phone I waited for some time to get my phone activated.  I was like a kid having a candy he couldn’t open.  During my extended wait I looked over the manuel to see what new things were done.  I got really bored that very quickly, and not a moment to soon my phone had been activated.  LET THE GAMES BEGIN!  Actually I didn’t know it was turned on my friend texted me a message and I felt it vibrate.  I was so excited, I like to call this my man toy.  I fiddled with it all night even though I was at work and tried not to.  To those reading this if you have the 2nd gen. there is no reason to get the newest one.  I think you can last till the next release.  Which will probably be in a year.  Damn them!!!
