Phone in cradle, iTunes open, and you're pushing the CHECK FOR UPDATE button how often?

Since no one really knows for sure, I'm keeping it open in the background and hitting the button about twice an hour.

I pressed it like a mad man from about midnight to 2 am. But I'm at work now, I've heard about the 1 pm release. I can't wait until I get home and it's hopefully out.

2 co-workers came in red-eyed this morning, because they stayed up until 2 AM pressing that button..... oops.

You know you always have the choice not to buy Apple products. There are other, more than capable, products available. If you really want to get your point across do it with your dollars; go with another phone besides the iPhone, Mr. Pirate.
