iPhone Dilemma

After making me wait for months, Apple is going to make their iPhone available this Friday. I'm already a Cingular customer, and for where I'm at in Chicago I tend to get decent coverage, so the lack of carrier choice will just mean Cingular won't have any real incentive to provide good customer service.

The dilemma isn't really if I'll get an iPhone, but when. See, Friday is also my wife's birthday, and while I really want an iPhone, I'm not too keen on sleeping on the couch for the next few months. I expect the stores in Chicago will be sold out in about 12 minutes, and an iPhone will be more difficult than a Nintendo Wii to acquire. I'm hoping that when I go to Rockford the next day that there might be one or two in a Cingular store out there.
