I'm just wondering whether there is really any device worth camping outside of a store for days over. I mean, I know the iPhone is great and all, but isn't it just a smartphone? There will always be more available.
It's odd people buy these handsets, yet have no understanding of things like the "internet" where one can pre order and it shipped right to their door or office. No waiting in line necessary.
@pinktacoyummm You people with your hilarious jokes and your completely oblivious nature about everything going on around you. You can hate on the iPhone all you want, but your statement is like saying that Kobe is bad at basketball.
@Mecha2142 why do people go to concerts when they can easily listen to music at the comfort of their home? why do we liveblog when we could easily just read the summary of E3 or WWDC?
@Ziv Thats the worst comparison I've seen in a long time. Concert lines do not equal iphone lines..... at a concert you pay for an experience when buying an iphone you buy an item, you cant sit at home and have the experience of a concert but i can sit at home and get an iphone.
@Ziv There's absolutely no comparison between that and waiting for an iPhone. I understand sleeping outside of the store for a single night, but not outright camping for DAYS while waiting for the device to be released. There's absolutely no benefit of doing so besides having the phone for a few hours/days before anyone else.
i'd rather wait in line than hate on people i don't even know, for doing something i may not understand. when did engadget commenters become so bitter?
@paul34 Stop acting like a douche. The original quote was void of anything that would require a serious rebuttal. The post was juvenile and your response equally lacking. Go find a new sand box to play in.
@HAL2000 That's sort of understandable, since it's on SALE. There isn't any special one day only deal going in with the iPhone. It's not going to drop in price for another year and it's going to be available for two more.
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.

@Mecha2142 I seriously hate waiting in line for anything, but plenty of people seem more than happy to do it.

@Mecha2142 its a dumb phone not a smartphone, fyi.

Ad hominem. If you have a problem with his statement, refute it for its own merit.

@Ziv so you are comparing the experience of living on the street to being at a rock concert? interesting...
@boxieblue
Apple fanatics think going to one of their stores is like going to a rock concert...ie, they're sad, lonely losers.

@Mecha2142 Dude, people camp out to buy more camping gear on sale at REI. You need some perspective.
@HAL2000 That's sort of understandable, since it's on SALE. There isn't any special one day only deal going in with the iPhone. It's not going to drop in price for another year and it's going to be available for two more.
@Mecha2142 Nope, waiting in while to get it is magical!
