Just got back from the AT&T store to purchase a 1020. My experience was quite good. No, there weren't any lines for the phone! I was actually the first one to purchase the device. The reps were very excited about the phone. There was even a little display that had two "scenes" which you could interact with, to show off the camera on the demo phone. One was in a box, to show off low light performance The other was a small town scene, almost like an oversized snow globe without the snow, to show off zoomed in details. The rep was fully versed with how to use the camera, and how to interact with the two scene's to produce very impressive effect.
Overall, very impressed with the experience. I dearly wish the phone was at $199; $299 is a big hurdle for the non-enthusiast.
