Thousands of people camped out at Friday at Apple and AT&T stores across the nation to be among the first to buy Apple’s new iPhone.

The gadget, which combines the functions of a cell phone, iPod and wireless Web browser, was to go on sale at 6 p.m. Friday in each time zone.

The cost is $499 for a 4-gigabyte model and $599 for an 8-gigabyte version, on top of a minimum $59.99-a-month two-year service plan with AT&T, the phone’s exclusive carrier.
