Will there be lines on the morning of Oct 2?

Just wondering what the consensus is and if I should get there before they open?

Absolutely. Be there before 6AM. If you snooze you lose.

I'm actually under the gun to get this, see the wife had her IP4 stolen from the Y this past Monday and is using a old BB until I upgrade Sunday, and then I give her my IP4. She can upgrade come Jan.

She is already complaining about the old BB. So I need to make sure I grab one.

Just be there 5min after the doors open, that's my plan. No need to be there 30min early.

I would say no, generally there are not lines like there are for iphone releases. That doesn't mean there wont, but I think it is safe to assume you will be able to go to a store and pick one up.

I had no issues grabbing a epic touch for Sprint when it released without waiting in line.

Quoting myself from another thread as there are now 3 threads devoted to questions regarding release-date purchasing.

Quote:

I plan on purchasing this phone *before* release date. There's always some retailer out there that has them for sale the Friday before release. I bought my Captivate and my Thrill both before release. Call around starting Thursday. Call your local Costco, and your local AT&T Corporate store. Ask if they have any in stock that they can sell. Then call on Friday. Make sure you call kinda later in the day (after 1pm usually works for me) after they get their shipments.

yeah, Sprint decided no reason to make you "wait to get the phone", they just decided to consolidate all of your waiting for "data to load from Internet"... lol... j/k (sorta) i have the Sprint version and i'll be switching carriers Sunday. I love Sprint and the ET4G version as well (very much : )but the slow speeds in my area takes away from the user experience big time.

IF there was no version coming out on AT&T, i would have just "lived with it" because the phone is really top of its game in
every s-i-n-g-l-e category : )
