Besttechie Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Yes, it's true. This morning I experienced my first iPhone launch. I woke up at 5:20AM to get ready and go to the Apple store at my local mall to pick up my new iPhone 3G S. You can read about my interesting experience in my blog post (link below):http://www.besttechie.net/2009/06/19/i-exp...-iphone-launch/B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Interesting experience, though, just so's ya know, I have ZERO interest in the i-Phone itself ... just sayin'. I do, however, appreciate these heads-up posts for blog entries I might have missed or that are of particular interest to the audience on the boards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firebucket Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I read it earlier. I liked how they gave you stuffs whilst you waited. Apple are fancy!fibu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Only things I've ever bought on launch days has been PC games and there are NOOOOO lines for them. Just wander on in to GameStop whenever and ask for it, walk out 2 or 3 minutes later.I'm honestly amazed at just how much people give a crap about the iPhone and are willing to shell out for it.

Carnevil Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I stood in line for a Palm Pre, which was a fun experience until an Iphone fan crashed the Sprint store and start running his face. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
irregularjoe Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 That's very interesting reading. As for me, I might consider going to a launch if it started around noon, and they served lunch.I don't do lines however, so I'll probably miss out. ...Oh well. I'll just have to live vicariously through the posts here at BT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_C Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I hate waiting in lines; but that is probably because I am not a real people person. When you are waiting in line with a bunch of strangers you are in a sense a community with at least one thing in common; an interest in whatever you are waiting in line for. So you have something to talk about.Definitely hate it when they fail to organize things and make it clear where you belong so you wait in the wrong line for who knows how long only to find out you should have been somewhere else.

This was usually realized after standing in line for an hour and then finally getting to the head of the line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isteve Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Blim the level is just a free app, works on all iphones and ipod touch. Out of all the apps on my ipod that one seems to impress people the most.irregularjoe, my local DMV had lines marked A B C 1 2. I always wondered if they lost the D E signs or can't count to 5.
