Anyone else thinking about getting a .tel address? So, the landrush period for the new .tel domain started today.

Anyone else thinking of getting one of these domains? Anyone already gotten one?

This is a premium pricing period so you'd better need it or have around US$350 to burn.

Keep in mind that ".tel is about publishing contact data: phone numbers, SIP addresses and so on directly in the DNS", so it isn't of immediate value to a lot of people. It will probably await some sort of X.500 or Web 2.0 interface to make it worthwhile.
