Yeah, it's a phone that could easily be confused with the last one.  It's iDiot day again!

 

Mark Challiner, 42, braved the freezing rain to arrive at the store at 4am to stake his place in the queue as the doors opened at 8am.

Mark, of Stoke on Trent, who works as an accountant in Staffordshire, said: 'We've been here since around 4am and I'm very tired now.

 

42!  Born in 1970/71!  Old enough to know better!  Jesus, get a life for goodness sake!

 

Each to their own of course, but...

I sent my husband to queue overnight outside ToysRus for the Teletubbies many, many years ago . That was different though, it would have broken a 4 year olds heart not to have them

I bet it will too, but even having a phone that doesn't work if you hold it 'wrong' didn't dampen the enthusiasm.  It seems no publicity can be bad enough to stop the iPhone juggernaut.  I've nothing against iPhones, I use one for work, but it's just a phone!

I queued outside Argos from 7am to get one of the new stock of Teletubbies (La La) for my boy that year.

 

Same sketch...   would have broken his heart if he didn't have it, plus he'd just come out of hospital (chest infection)...  

 

tis the only time I have ever done it though..    for a poxy Teletubby! 

 

MrD & the girl have done the midnight queuing for the new Harry Potter books though

I personally think there's better phones on the market now, and its vastly overpriced. They have removed google maps and replaced them with their own  I hope no one depends on it if they are lost  oh, and the battery is crap, they make them so you can't buy a replacement and now they have altered all the ports, so you can chuck out all the extra's you bought for the 3 and 4.

It's that thing of being 'first' Baz. But really everyone is a 'first'

If I could afford these products then it would be a moot point cos I would have them & everything would talk to everything 

LOL!
