id queue for something but not something like that.

Id only queue if there was a limited number of something, there will be more iphones so its a waste of time and money i wont even buy one im still happy with my brick.

It would have to be a once in the life time thing. Something you know you would never see or get to do again.

exactly, I would never queue for something that is going to be available to everyone for a long time. Seems utterly pointless imo.

If it was something like a free trip around the world for 4 years, all expenses paid. Then i'd queue for, well, a day at most, to get that

pointless device, why not just get a Sony Ericsson W810i?

I'd queue for four days for something like a free Aston Martin or a free Speedboat, not a posh walkman.

Yes indeed. For some reason people like queuing to see the Edge play the same 8 chords he knows in that lovely chorus/delay/overdrive sound he constantly uses.

queue up for 4 days to pay retail price for something i can wait a few days for? **** that

patrickolee

For an iPhone I possibly would queue for a few hours, but not overnight. Can't think of anything else I would queue overnight for... except maybe a taxi of course! I love queuing for them.

i'm not a fan of apple, so i wouldnt get one. I just dislike apple and their "you must own this or your life will be incomplete" marketing.

i queued nine hours for a concert onece (held by the forbidden promoter thus it shall remain unamed) so i could get into the pit, but id draw the line at that(unless of course the come back, then i might queue again)

I turn psychotic if I have to queue more than five minutes for anything (I will actually take a journey that twice the distance if it means that I don't have to sit in traffic), so I can't see myself waiting for anything, regardless of how good, for longer than maybe 2 hours.

ueue up for 4 days to pay retail price for something i can wait a few days for? **** that

Queue up to pay *launch price*. You can wait a few months and get it cheaper without queueing.

How much is the launch price??

I agree queueing for 4 days for a phone is pretty daft, such a waste of time!!!

Don1

Just buy a stolen one in a few weeks!! :rolleyes:

I spent 12 hours in Six Flags Magic Mountain and got to go on 4 rides and had a burger! One queue was over 3 hours! But it was worth it for this: X Not the best video but the guy's reaction his hilarious. Sap!

Although, people queue outside Budget Travel on Baggot St. every winter to avail of the summer deals. I remember TV3 reporting on it one day. They looked like a load of plebs though, package holidays ftw.

Also, lets not forget all those people who queue for Harry Potter books at "midnight launches".

Sad people.

That happened at the tesco where I used to work. The queue was mental. My sister wanted one really badly so I told her I would bring one home from work. I went up to one of the managers and got him to sell me one about half an hour before they went on sale and walked out the door laughing at all those twats queueing for ages.

I remember the queues for the last Potter book outside the Eason on Dawson St. They opened the second door and those of us who weren't queueing dropped in, bought the book and strolled by the fevered mothers waiting for that sweet sweet Dumbledore death.

I queued for the Wii for about 2 hours and that didn't bother me too much, the Mario Kart DS races did pass the time :rolleyes:

Gone are the days of queuing, I wouldn't queue for anything anymore, unless the world as we know it ends and you need to queue for water or food or something. Queuing for a games console, a book or a phone is just daft. It's not as if you'll not be able to buy it later. Most of those can be bought online anyway and you get it delivered without even have to spend 5 minutes in a queue at the shop counter.

Concert tickets is another daft one the people spend days and nights outside HMV and places like that for. It wouldn't exactly be the end of the world if you miss that Westlife or U2 concert now would it.

I think there was 5 people in front of me in a queue for the checkout at Tesco once. Had to wait about 10 mins :mad:

So anyway, yeah, iPhone. Interesting, but it will be a tough choice between it and the Nokia N95 as far as I'm concerned.

While many of the features do seem like good ideas, I can see them being majorly crippled by whoever gets the carrier contract over here (rumoured to be Vodafone), as per usual. The touchscreen is very interesting as a UI device, but I would have to wait to hear how well it reacts long term to constant pocket exposure. The fact that third party apps are all basically AJAX webpages is pretty sucky though, especially since its supposed to be a low powered OS X running under there.

Interestingly, apparently its not so much men who are interested in the phone State-side, as women.

There was some talk of a deal being reached to launch in the uk with one of the uk phone providers, but some of the features are netwotk dependant so a deal HAS to be done with an irish providers before they launch it. You could in theory buy one in the states or the uk when it launches but you won't be able to use most of the features that differentiate the iphone from a standard phone.
Nokia N95 all the way.... Loving it!

Fajitas!

Read about this in a book called 'Reading the Everyday'

I was sitting outside the Fifth Avenue Apple Store yesterday, relaxing, in the sun, reading my book, and laughing at the fuss and the poor feckers believing in the hype. Tee hee, suckers.

MooseJam
