iPhone enthusiasts sit and wait in line outside Apple stores around the world.
The new iPhone is here and the fans line up.
The in-store activation has been, AP says, a mess, but this is part of another massive viral marketing campaign.
(UPDATE: I got my new iPhone 3G at the Mac store in Norfolk, VA. I had to wait in line for 45 minutes. The in-store activation went very well and in 15 minutes I was using the new and FAST iPhone. No problems.)

Softbank Corp, which sells the iPhone in Japan, said over 1,500 people lined up outside its flagship Tokyo store
