Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Im pretty sure he's a douche.
Either on vacation or jobless... What a way to waste vacation time. Well I guess the 2nd guy in line would be the most pathetic though. At least this guy got his mug on Engadget.
Laid Count
So if the stores open simultaneously.... how is he "special?" Maybe he'll get a stupid clerk who can't ring him up correctly and he's stuck.....
But yeah that's really really lame....
I don't get the fascination with getting things first. I got my Wii at Thanksgiving. I got my Xbox 360 in Feb 06. (I got my college degree after the summer semester, lolol.)
Those are all things I coveted, but didn't need immediately. I'm hardly a patient person.... but apparently I'm more intelligent than these people. Wasting money (or sick/vacation time) for a phone is stupid. Maybe I'm greedier than I am impatient. I want an iPhone really really bad... but I can wait until like September to get it.... when it'll be safely jailbroken for mah FiveDice enjoyment. Or longer.....
Thanks for listening. I always know I can count on you to cheer me up. You're such a good friend, random old-post-comment-reader. :)
This post is new? Oh well.... at least this dude doesn't have radical political ideas.
Mom and Dad must be so proud
I think you're great, bohsocks. I read your whole post and thought you might like to know that I received my N64 shipment back in June. It's an impressive machine by all accounts. I'm already a good way into Super Mario 64 and I just managed to get Epone (the horse) in Ocarina of Time. I've just ordered SmackDown from ebay and am looking forward to some hot button-bashing action.
I'm not sure what my next console purchase will be - maybe a PS2 - but the N64 seems to have plenty to keep me going for ages to come. I haven't even started on Diddy Kong Racing yet!
I know you're reading, bohsocks, so thanks to YOU for listening too.
Special, like "He wears a football helmet, but doesn't play on the team" kind.
He is exactly like those commenters who shout "First!", maybe he deserves the same treatment as a result
Fail
its nice to have goals in life. shoot for the stars.,,.. errr .... or shoot the the first 3g iphone.......?
That's the first thing I thought! (douche) lol!
j_g_puff: Are you related to that blonde-haired guy who's stranded on the tropical island with all the monkeys and started up that computer business? If so, that'd be way cool.
Good thing you got Epona, life as an adult would suck without being able to ride the horse (SPOILER!!!)
Stay away from Diddy Kong Racing, though.... the graphics and control scheme are so 3 years ago (from the date that game came out over a decade ago).
Oh my God... Could it be.... Clak?!
Watch his credit get declined.
that would be: iPhone Lamer
He's likely to be the only one waiting, with $250 A MONTH for only 1GB of data.
~£95 a month... you guys are being bumraped big time.
seriously? that sounds much worse than Canada.
I wish I was joking, I was looking forward to getting one. But with, as far as I know, the most expensive iPhone plans in the world I won't & I don't think many others here will either.
Holy f'n shiiitballs, you're right! What the fu
You could always go for the 'cheap' option - $699 for the 16GB iPhone and 2 years of $80 a month for 120 minutes, 600 TXTs, and 250MB of data...
WTF Vodafone? You should change your logo, and add the phrase 'Vodafone, raping NZ customers without the benefit of a reacharound'.
Good luck my man. I would be lining up at the Apple Store in Edmonton, but the iPhone rates in Canada are ridiculous, and I can't afford it.
Do these people that wait outside not have jobs? Or have they saved up vacation for this? I mean, it's not really my ideal way to spend a week of my hard earned paid vacation... but whatever.
I was thinking the same thing.
In some countries people have even six weeks of paid holydays per year. So spending a a few days window shopping at local Apple store is not that bad after all.
Dunno what's the situtation with vacations in the Middle Earth though
Yeah they got jobs, steve jobs.
He's a student, and we've just had exams here so he's on holiday at the moment. He was dared to wait by his mates for 3 days, and if he succeeds and keeps his spot at the front of the line they're all buying the phone for him.
I used to go to school with him and trust me, he's the last person I would pick for being an Apple/any-technology-at-all geek :P
He's a student. One with a silver spoon in his mouth apparently.
@ cambell...
Ok, assuming you are correct (Obviously, because everything you read on the internet is true)
This dude is actually a bit of a legend then. Friends should have made him wear a *Bobbing for Apples* t-shirt aswell tho..
legend!
It's just a phone...
They just do it to get attention...
true that
And Engadget is all too willing to give it to them.
WELL DONE JONNY!!! You mama must be proud!
...NOT!!!!!!
Well done Jef! 'Not' jokes are so cool.Your mother must be proud of your creative and original humor.
NOT!!!!
What is he going to do with his iPhone? See what others are doing
wrong. i'm sure some apple employees have been using it for a while.
Opps, link missing

Stupid campers. Last year I walked to the Apple store the day after the launch and was in and out with a phone in less than 10 mins. No reason to camp for days.
Exactly! And I seriously doubt that it will be any different this time around.
Who do these people think they are impressing by camping out?
Exactly. Apple has stocked up so that there will be enough phones for everybody who desire one and have the cash to pick one up. It was the same case with the iPhone generation one, I don't recall there being any form of shortage at all.
"Who do these people think they are impressing by camping out?"
The Engadget editorial staff obviously...
It's time to camp when you want a Nintendo iPhone.
Then you bring a tent, sleeping bag, and a melee arsenal 2 months in advance or no phone for you.
Ah...another waste of space in the gene pool. Not to mention waste of oxygen.
Space in the gene pool?
I'm not sure what metaphors you're mixing there, but watch it doesn't blow up on you...
I hope he holds on to his wallet because chances are the deadbolt on his tent wont keep the robbers out. Watch him get mugged with that smile on his face.
he is sooo cool
what a tool
I'm glad I don't define my lifestyle by the box of wires in my pocket.
