In line for an iPhone 4? Share your pics, stories

People line up for an iPhone 3GS last year.

We'll be on the scene on both sides of the U.S. covering the iPhone 4 launch at various retail outlets, but we can't be everywhere. That's where you come in. Will you be out braving the crowds (or maybe lack thereof in your neck of the woods) to get a shiny new iPhone? If so, we want to see any line photos and hear any stories (both good and bad) about your launch day adventure that you think CNET readers would enjoy. Send us your photos, anecdotes, or news tidbits from wherever you are to ReaderSubmissions@cbs.com, and we'll put the good stuff here. We'll also be keeping an eye on your comments and filtering the best ones to the top. In the meantime, bookmark this page and come back to it on Thursday morning for updates throughout the day.Update at 4:48 a.m. on June 24: A reader sends in this shot from South Park Mall in Charlotte, NC:Update at 3:35 a.m. on June 24: Reader Gary Berman sends us this shot of the Apple store line at the Perimeter mall in Atlanta, GA, half an hour before the Apple store opens:

Update at 3:57 p.m. on June 23: A reader sends in this photo update from the line formed on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. The weather isn't cooperating with line-sitters' plans, but it appears Apple handed out large umbrellas to help keep them dry.
