Maybe it's just me, but is there anyone else that thinks queuing a whole day to go pick up a new electronic device and then once having said device, people whooping and cheering like that person is now a god and has just done something amazing, isn't a bit stupid and retarted?
It's a funking phone for funk sake. In a few months time everyone you know and half the people on the street will have an iPhone. I know 12 year old kids that have iPhone's. Granted it's a nice looking device etc etc but what possesses people to act like that defeats me.
Especially when this guy writes an email to Steve Jobs at his 'disappointment' http://tech.uk.msn.com/news/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=153901024 really makes me laugh.
Rant over.
HTC Legend FTW lol
lol I know what you mean ill wait a month before i even think about getting one.
My brother was in a queue for one this morning but he ended up being 5 places to far back to get one:eek: lol
But with the new handset in his hands, and Apple staff whooping and cheering as he descended the shop's glass steps, he described the feeling as "absolutely incredible, amazing. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'd love to do it again".
Err next phone launch maybe? lol

It's always best to wait a while when a new device is out so that any bugs get recitified in software updates but getting it and blowing your wad in your underpants is just frikkin sad.
When I got my phone thought it was cool and what-not. Played with it for about an hour and then put it down and started working on the Nova lol

lol I remember those, then the 3310 came out... WOAH!
^ The 5110 to 3210 was a bigger jump!
I was a sucker and got my contract out 1 week before the new phone launch. lol
The best phone I have ever had is an 8210 though! :d

Meh, brother in law spent 6 hours in line for his, mother in law spent 20 mins.
Local o2 sore only got 60 in ffs !!!
I popped in this afternoon to see if i could upgrade, come back in 2 weeks i got told.
whats the point in a launch if you cant get one ? lol
7110 FTW. IR Snake lol
Its not like the phone is any good either tbh. I was amused at how the BBC covered some iphone launch a while back, and some kid had been queuing up for hours finally got to the shop and was really excited... until he then got one, played about a bit and realised it was poop. LOL
Ive been using a old 8310 the past couple of months its pretty good and i was the only one whos battery lasted all of pv with out seeing a charger lol
i just phoned up o2 as my upgrade is dew.Ive been told i can order 1 to be here for monday but as im away for the next week im going to sort it all once back.if i upgrade today its going to cost £21 but would be cheaper if i wait a week.
Common sence thing to do really as i aint going to be in the country to play with the bloodyy thing lol

It's just a phone at the end of the day. People seem to go nuts over it. Obviously if I were offered one free on an upgrade I'd take it. But to go que for 24+ hours and then get pissed that I couldn't get it, or get it and think 'yes now I'm popular!' just won't even happen.
I honestly wonder what lives these people live.

I would love the new iphone, but what a sad c*nt! lol
The reason why I hate them is the lying bastid that was giving a radio interview just before the launch of the first iPhone.
He said 'this will be a new era n mobile phone onwnership. Instead of your handset being obsolete in 6 months, all you will need to upgrade is the software.'
Well that was utter bollox!
I didnt even know there was a new Iphone out till someone mentioned it at work today lol
What is all the fuss about Flash? I'm a tard when it comes to technology and don't know what it is or why its a problem the Iphones not having it?

mine phone is a phone, it goes bring bring, i can talk on it,
who the **** cares if i can take a photo, or play needforspeed on it,
i want to take a photo ill use a camera thanks lol
Just had a look at a iPhone 4 as a mate waited outside o2 from 6am !! And he was about tenth in line lol
Alot better than the previous iPhones IMO but the HD screen and camera are the only things that are better, the other features you get on previous iPhone by just upgrading the software

it's a software a lot of sites use for their features, including youtube, which is why on an iphone you have to have a youtube app rather than using the browser, if a site doesn't have an app to handle the flash content, you're stuck... most other smartphones have had this for years...

Coz Apple, like with most things, don't like the fact that a standard is used by everyone which isn't made by them. But what Apple say is something along the lines of Apple think Flash is a restrciting standard, Apple see themselves as an open and derestricted brand so apps made/using flash isn't for them (the jist of what I caught reading a statement made by Steve IIRC) If you ask me is a bit hypocritical since Apple tend to like to limit things to their own systems.
Logic (a music production program) for one used to be made by eMagic and used to work with Windows. Apple bought Logic and only made it to work on Mac's.
Meh not that I give a to*s. I got the HTC Leg-end which does enough for me, looks great, feels nice and the touch screen is up there with the iPhone persoanlly, and people actually comment on as it's not typical like the iPhone.
Its like that first lad in the UK to get an Ipad thing, he said he was "So excited and couldn't wait to get on it" etc, its a ****ing, well I don't know what the Ipad is actually but it cant be as exciting as say hiding in the bushes and taking pictures of your neighbors 15 year old son, adrenalin pumping for fear of getting caught lol not that I know of course.

I think the number of geeks is greatly under estimated in the UK. Only a right geek would find buying an electronic device so exciting they'd do it again.
Shopping must be viagra to them.
lol at the pic of neighbour
