Washingtonians gathered outside the AT&T retail store in Chinatown as early as 4:30 a.m. Friday to purchase the new phone. People brought Starbucks coffee, laptops and friends to help keep them awake, waiting for the doors to open at 8 a.m.

D.C. resident Andrew Roszak, 28, was the first one to arrive. Mr. Roszak said he didn't know what to expect, so he showed up at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Thursday night, eventually returning at 4:30 a.m. Friday morning.

"No other phone gives you this many features," Roszak said. "It's just a great phone."

One hour later, Sarah Hale showed up with friends at 5:30 a.m.

"I liked the old one, and I didn't like the idea of not having the newest, so I had to come get it," said Miss Hale, 25, who took several pictures of herself with her friends to stay entertained.

Sixteen-year-old Leon Young arrived at 6 a.m. with a laptop in hand, hoping to sell his spot in line for $50.

In preparartion for the launch -- and in an effort to avoid the pandemonium experienced during last summer's debut of the original iPhone -- AT&T representatives at the Chinatown were trained on managing crowds in addition to learning the features of the new phone, said Colin Martin, AT&T's executive director of sales for D.C. and Northern Virginia. The store had about 25 to 30 people staffed on Friday, Mr. Martin said.
