A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

Who cares? If you seriously would buy an iPhone on impulse just because you saw a line of people waiting for it... you're a tool.
Stupid says, stupid goes.
It is interesting though two Polish gangs carrying iphones happen to employ lots of kidos of former communist aparatchiks. Given all locked up "business" model I am no surprised.

iPhone buyers are tools, so...
yeh, much better to buy it coz' some bloke in a turtle neck and some snake-oil told you that 3G is the very latest (and really really good) and that the phone is cheaper than the last one.

Hot Polish women with every iPhone™ purchase. Collect all 5!
Do all five come with the "This is soooo stoopid" expression on their faces? Because I can get that in my home town.
Lies, these people are far too attractive to be picked out randomly.

Actually, the two best things about Poland are women and food. You'd be surprised how high is the average quality of both around here.
yeh, i've had a couple female polish friends over the years, and they were all lookers.
That chickee in the front with the glasses is sexy. I'd line up and buy a iPhone to chat to her.. .So yes :)
Her number is listed on the paper, why don't you try to hit her up?
Ya, these chicks are way too hot to just be random.
Maybe I should direct her to my facebook profile.
Don't wanna be too forward. lol
@seanross: You just described the apple fanbase...
"some of [Orange's] team has been joining customers outside"
And of course, by "joining customers" you mean "creating fake lines" and by "orange's team" you mean "orange's paid stand-ins" ... yup.

1 dude... 7 chicks... i like those odds. although those two women in the back may not like that dude as much as each other. even better.
He does look rather proud of himself.. Now that you mention it :-O
That's not at all what he was getting at ;)
Damn you Engadget! Now I don't know what I think...
So these actors were never paid? Outrageous!
i think that was a good info,..
nice job more blogs to create..

No way, these are the only eight people in Poland who can afford an iPhone.
In other words....

Look guys you can't admit to using actors in the queue otherwise people are going to start asking sticky questions about all our product launches

Powiedziałem, że jest mi przykro! Do widzenia, do zobaczenia
Another conspiracy is brushed under the carpet doo doooo dooo doo doo do
I wonder how Globe (Phils) is doing in terms of iPhone sales...I think they are one of those carriers (worldwide) who are giving outrageously expensive plans (and prepaid). Anybody knows a site showing comparisons of the rates/charges/plans offered by carriers?
Engadget, can you do that?

Polish people annoy the hell out of me. Why do they have to look like that??
By "look like that," you mean extremely attractive?
You mean like Americans?
Americans are extremely attractive?
Only if you like to "go large".
But all these chicks are there to sell their place in line - at least that is what they are advertising on the little sheets of paper they are holding up.... Interesting. Any one got balls to call the one right at the front?
I Shotgunned... Come on now. Thats not fair. Read the commnets above dude.. Sheesh!
The chick in the glasses is fine! I'd go all Hitler on that ass!
Too soon?
On a funny side note to everyone here the sign that the blond in the front is holding reads:
I will sell my place in line to get an iphone, telephone: 5009592### Orange Lounge
.... in fact so is the lady in the red behind her :P
Tell you the truth, we are making a big deal of it but you know what? That is a smart way of marketing, its psychology, do you not know that people tend to fallow the masses? Seen someone's else s interests activates others interests too, unless otherwise, there is a strong character.
The funny thing is that it didn't work. However, in the USA...
Hahaha, guys, u are so funny gibbering about attractiveness of these girls on the photo. This is bottom line of what most polish men find as attractive girls, in fact they are pretty ugly considering most of fine looking women in poland. U have very low standarts folks. But alright, most of your women looks like big foot stomped on their faces plus cheesbureger diet, so i can understand that u might get erection from looking at this photo. U must be sad that your whole life you'll be banging girls looking like potatoes.
