It's here!

I slipped it into the teeny tiny Torras case that arrived at the same time - a cute little clear case with dark blue trim. Looks fantastic. Then, since the phone seemed to be completely uncharged, I plopped onto the MagSafe magnetic charger, which woke it up immediately. Now I'm working through setup and data transfer, which is taking a while.

I figured I would just swap in the SIM card from my current cell phone provider, but that hit a snag. I'm with Cricket, a low-cost reseller of AT&T service, which has been simple and reliable. But... it turns out that they do not use a SIM card. The only way to swap phones (other than buying it from them) is to take your new phone to a Cricket store and let them "flash" it. Besides having absolutely no desire to go looking for a Cricket store, I am afraid that would defeat the entire purpose of buying an unlocked phone. So... bah. Maybe I'll just open a new account on Mint Wireless, which is only $15/month and has no interest in selling you a phone.
