Here is the very first photo I took with my new iPhone. This was taken in my car on the way home. I am working up a full iPhone review so stay tuned! - Sean

Proof that Apple plans to do exactly what I deposed in my last post.  From AppleInsider:

"Apple Retail Stores will open early this Friday to help you get set up and get going with your new iPhone 3G," the company said in an email to US customers this morning. The same message confirmed that Apple Specialists will be on hand to offer a "Personal Setup" that will help you choose your phone model, select a rate plan, and prep your new handset so that it's "ready to make calls, browse the web, and receive email right on the spot."

Ugh. - Sean

...Or, Why I Might Not Get An iPhone This Weekend

ATT and Apple, at least initially, are only selling the new iPhone 3G in their retail stores.  I have only heard one reason as to why.  ATT wants to make sure you activate your new iPhone before you leave so they can lock you into a two year contract.  I am not opposed to signing up for a two year stint with ATT to get an iPhone.  I also understand that ATT wants to reduce the number of iPhones that are unlocked and used on another carriers.  ATT is in business to make money after all.  What sticks in my craw is that you can't buy one online!
