Like most members of the early adopters club, I stood in the line outside the AT&T store in Columbus, IN (12th in the line). The wait was not bad about an hour the store opened up and within 10 min. I had my iPhone.
The installation and activation worked seamless for me and within 30 min. the whole phone was activated and working.
Apple recently announced a $200 price cut and is giving a $100 rebate to early adopters.

In all fairness the iPhone is far superior to any other phone, its just that w eexpect a lot more from apple.
I have now used it for 2.5 months and here are thing I like and dislike about it.
Dislike:
1. No task and to do application that will sync with outlook or entourage.
2. No video.
3. Doesn't support http mail for mail such as hot mail in th email client.
4. No video.
5. Can't upload images to flickr etc. directly from the phone without going through mail.
6. Small storage on 8Gb.
7. Speaker phone isn't very loud.
8. Can't search though songs with a key word.
9. Can't add any more applications easily.
10. Slow edge speed.
Like:
1. Best phone on market.
2. Touch keyboard is great.
3. Best ever iPod.
4. Video is superb.
5. Feel and interface is fantastic.
6. Safari browser is amazing.
7. Mail works well.
8. Wifi works great.
9. Battery life is superb.
10. Camera works really well for not having flash.
On a scale of 10, I would rank the iPhone ver. 1.0 a 8 and give a Nokia N95 something like a 5, so there a comparison.
