You might not consider this 'news,' per se, but billa9668 is one of the first customers to receive their new Verizon iPhone. While most of the February 3rd pre-orders are due for distribution early in the week, billa9668 managed to sweet-talk his local UPS office into letting him pick it up from the local distribution center.
This true Apple fanatic braved the snow to drive to his local UPS on a Satuday morning, just so he could start tapping away at his new device. If we weren't so mobile-obsessed ourselves, we might say that this guy was a little too excited.
But isn't this the kind of anticipation Apple and Verizon are counting on? Verizon already broke their own sales records between the odd hours of 3 and 5 AM, so they must be doing something right. When general sales open up on February 9th and 10th, we expect swarms of AT&T iPhone owners to be in line as well. We can't speak for AT&T or Verizon. But if the commercials are any indication, the iPhone turf-war has only just begun.
