- R34C7, on 10/11/2007, -2/+141Someone please explain to me how someone with four days of time to blow standing in a line possibly has enough money to be able to afford the iPhone... Vacation?
- joerod, on 10/11/2007, -18/+136these people need a life. i hope apple is paying them for this. the phone is defiantly cool but not that serious.
- smarusich, on 10/11/2007, -5/+121I hope that their stock of iphones at that store is high and the people strolling in on Saturday morning have no wait.
- MadNuke, on 10/11/2007, -9/+113How do you know that they're camping for the iPhone?
Looks to me like they're just chilling, sitting outside the store.
Any evidence they're going to be sitting there for four days? I find it a tad unlikely, though not improbable.
Seems to me like a writer is just looking for a way to generate interest. - bherring, on 10/11/2007, -10/+93Those guys are going to smell real bad when they get their iPhone. Anyone say iStench?
- benjaminradler, on 10/11/2007, -19/+86God dammit -- I'm planning on coming about 16 hours ahead of launch at my store. Might have to bring a lead pipe now :(
- jeffeb3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+63These people obviously need the iPhone really bad, because they constantly have very important things to do and they need to be on the move. They can't sit in one place for a week and use a real computer, it's just not practical for these types of people...
- growlzor, on 10/11/2007, -18/+76I got the Motorola Razr when it first came out. Crappy camera, no music support, no expansion card slot, tons of bugs and the camera sort of stuck out from the phone. While I was considered that guy "with the cool new phone" a couple months down the line they released the new version for the same price with tons of new features and fixed all the bugs. I will never buy a phone right when it comes out anymore because of this reason.
The iPhone does look awesome but I'm waiting till version 2. As far as people waiting in line to purchase a $600 phone, let alone 4 days in advance, thats just sad. I'm sure their kids are at home wondering where daddy is. - alx1507, on 10/11/2007, -5/+59I bet the 4 day wait would go by a lot faster if they had an iphone.
- fuzzmeister, on 10/11/2007, -7/+53Why would you do this? If you want to buy it on launch day, go to some obscure AT&T store, not the most visible Apple store there is.
- Aksumka, on 10/11/2007, -8/+39Dear you two folk,
Get a life. - gcnaddict, on 10/11/2007, -1/+31Word use, pal. While "defiantly" makes sense in context, I'm willing to bet that you meant to use "definitely" instead.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+30They seem desperate. As soon as they get their iPhones they should get back in line and wait for Leopard.
- phej, on 10/11/2007, -1/+21The guy has a sign saying "I'm waiting in line for an iPhone
http://vicariousmusic.com/2007/06/25/iphone-2/ - fuzzmeister, on 10/11/2007, -5/+24These are the types of people who haven't had the required, erm, sexual interaction for that to happen.
- vcleniuk, on 10/11/2007, -7/+23Waiting in line for Wii or PS3 = ok.
Waiting in line for iPhone = ??
I fail to see the difference. - Andy.D, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17Maybe they quit their jobs thinking they were gonna get rich selling their iPhone on eBay.
- ChrisXPPro, on 10/11/2007, -4/+18Now Wait Till Apple Tells Them They Have To Go The The AT&T Dealer To Get The Phone Not The Apple Store!
- stou, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15The better question would be... if you can afford the phone... and 4 days of wasted time to wait for it... wouldn't you have people to do the wait for you? Hmmm... maybe the people that are waiting are just paid by some ballers to sit in line and wait...
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12For everybody's sake: I really hope the iPhone is as cool as everyone thinks it will be.
- jeriqo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12They're not even queuing so what's the point?
- Sblader5, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11it was benjaminradler in the apple store with the lead pipe.
- FooMasta, on 10/11/2007, -7/+18Those two guys, "WTF? This isn't the line for the Wii?"
- pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13it's easy to save money when you live in your parents basement and don't go on dates.
- BayAreaKing, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10What if it turns out that that was the end of the line, not the front...
- vanebeard, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11The only explanation that I will accept is that they are going to sell them on ebay for 1500 each.
- zeiben, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9I defy you to define what he meant
- mobilehavoc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I sure as hell don't want to be one of the first people in NYC to have an iPhone, especially if I plan on taking the subways anytime after that...
- zephc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Smash your iPhone and you still have a 2 year contract and now no phone.
- Sagags, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10They arnt waiting for the iPhone, they are just out there to get there 10 mins of fame. They went there because they knew it was the most visible and it was most likely for them to be noticed by the media.
- speaker219, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7http://www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/
- motherwell, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7iStink!
- Hooj, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Trust fund babies
- pfranz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I thought they weren't offering them at places like Radio Shack or Best Buy. Only official AT&T and Apple stores.
- Shorties, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Well these guys are going to be on the New York news (Maybe even national news) for sure, might be worth it to some people.
- totorototoro, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Really? The iPod nano and MacBook I last purchased both came charged and ready to use...of course it didn't have MUSIC on it :p
- gcnaddict, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5They're sitting in the zone that was sectioned off for the purpose of holding a line. You can't sit there unless you want to wait in the line.
- Trapped, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7It's okay if you are not interested in purchasing an iPhone when they go on sale this Friday... It just means one less person in line ahead of me! ;o)
- blaket, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6The sign the one guy is holding gives it away, asking for donations while he waits to buy an iPhone.
- petefriedman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Now if they were smart they would go to work for the next few days and earn enough money to pay for the damn phone....ring ring HELLO!!
- Jagdwulfe, on 10/11/2007, -6/+10Is there a smashmyiphone website yet? If I was home I would be sorely tempted to follow the tradition of Smashmy360 and SmashmyPS3. Could you imagine the fanboys crying over an Iphone being smashed by a sledgehammer.
- mobilehavoc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Skeptics response: The photographer made the sign and paid the guy $5 to hold it while he took the picture.
- wilf_brim, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4You don't suppose that these folks are planning on Ebay speculation? If so I would suggest any NYC diggers go there and see if you can interest those two in a little game of 3 card Monty. Or sell them some timeshares. Or some real estate in central Florida.
- matt.rubin, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6because they probably have a apple tattoo
- Jugalator, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4You sure you didn't mean "hobos"? ;)
- zeiben, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Some clever thugs now have four days to plan how they're going to steal those two wallets....
- spazzcat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5If no one cared they wouldn't be on the home page everyday...
- ShrimpCrackers, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Actually, I don't think they realize that they won't have any more friends to call. Sure owning the iPhone is cool, but you won't become more popular or have more friends, the iPhone itself will. Kinda like cute dogs with ugly owners.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3At least they are waiting in the summer time. Damn did it suck waiting for the PS3 and the Wii in November. I froze my ass off.
