Kitanai: OooH thanks Nudge. I will most likely see you there! Westfield open their doors half an hour before the mall opens so that all the staff can go in an open their stores, so I'll be outside the Vodafone store.

Dingbatt: YAWN! Aren't you guys getting a little tired of the old Apple routine.
The guy in the turtleneck sweater announces a piece of tech in America and convinces the world they have to have it.
It's launched in America, people queue round the block.
Applites fly to America to get one.
A quarter of a year later the rest of the world gets a look in.
People queue around the block from midnight to get that piece of tech, which has security and secrecy surrounding it that is akin to the Manhattan Project.
Within a month no one cares when you got your new toy.
Happened with the iPhone, 2, 3G, 3Gs, iPad. As a leader in innovative tech you'd think Apple could come up with a new strategy as well.
Personally I'm going to wait for the Samsung Galaxy 2S and the next gen HTC handset and compare them to the i4.

Handsomedan: The whole iPhone Launch thing has been very poorly handled by VFNZ, from a PR point of view.
Yes, there's some excitement about the upcoming product, but there's also a large groundswell of resentment which could ultimately end up hurting them immensely.
MikeyPI:But what you are missing here, Mikey is that for Vodafone, this is a bad look...for Apple, it's business as usual.Handsomedan: The whole iPhone Launch thing has been very poorly handled by VFNZ, from a PR point of view.

Then you dont understand PR or marketing. Look through the comments, the people are keen, the device will sell regardless, and maybe sell more as the desparate geeks, rush out and buy it as soon as its out..
Honestly how many people were going to buy one, but now wont after the way its been handled? I will hazard a guess .. ZERO..

simple logic.
Screw them.
I'm waiting 2-3 weeks to read the hands on reviews, then will order via Apple Store at my patient leisure if everything looks good, and put onto XT prepay OneBill @ $10 per month incl 200 txts, add $12 for 120 meg data.
