Just on 7:30 telecom.co.nz was at a crawl. About 10 mins later it was fine again.

And for some reason GZ thinks it's 2 hours into the future at the moment.

It was a hard night. Totally stoked that we lasted and that most of the overnighters got something. Turns out I was drawn as the winner of the F480 as well but for some reason people weren't keen with me getting it :)

@crikarika

They seemed to think it would last. Something to chase up later on when I'm not nacked and willing to accept any answer as correct i guess

@fashske

I hadn't thought of that. Probably end up being used up by a lot of data though

Congrats to you all, especially given the time of year (cold outside at night)

How did you manage that were you in line or did you "Aquire" these another way

Some high-school students who had lined up got a ticket but had to head off to school before the drawing began, so they gave me the ticket, and that was worth a headset and $20 credit.. :p

Hm... my iPhone 3G is taking a while to connect up to the XT network..

scottjpalmer: I'm surprised Freitasm didn't bring in a Geekzone T-shirt for you to wear over your winter woolies!

I would if I had any tshirts left...
