- griz, on 07/08/2008, -8/+6710 bucks to anyone who puts a M$ Windows logo on his tent while he is sleeping.
- bombula, on 07/08/2008, -4/+42Christ Almighty, it's a phone you moron, get a ***** life - you're starting to make Klingon-speaking Trekkies at Comic Con look normal and well-adjusted.
- dignick, on 07/08/2008, -3/+33Let me be the first to say: Who cares?
- ChanM, on 07/08/2008, -8/+35Whats the big deal? It's just a phone
- akoostik, on 07/08/2008, -4/+22Burried because New Zealand is trying to associate itself with things other than the Lord of the Rings.
- veriix, on 07/08/2008, -6/+24idiot
- Chahrlie5, on 07/08/2008, -3/+19Tool bag
- atdakore, on 07/08/2008, -4/+20dude, seriously. what could possibly happen if you waited for Friday, at home, on the couch, where you so obviously belong.
- castletech, on 07/08/2008, -2/+18What a loser. I wish i had no job and some extra cash so I can camp at a store. Instead I work everyday and have to use the money I make to camp out at home so I can make fun of ***** like this guy. ***** my life I wanna be just like him.
- thebza451, on 07/08/2008, -1/+16what employer?
- inactive, on 07/08/2008, -1/+13he's fatter.. now with an iphone
- ThatDustyGuy, on 07/08/2008, -1/+12How can they really be sure he will be they first owner?
Perhaps some old lady with Parkinson's will drop the keys, only to open the store at 8:05. That leaves someone in another area the possibility to be the first owner. - edwartica, on 07/08/2008, -0/+10What I want to know is what did he tell his employer?
- kidlover69, on 07/08/2008, -4/+14Bet you he already has an Iphone
- johnomaz, on 07/08/2008, -4/+13who gives a *****. its an iPhone. They came out last year. This is just generation two of the iPhone. And its not even that huge of an upgrade. Its the traditional Apple upgrade. They put in stuff that should have been there in the first release, change the look of the icons, and slap a new x.x.x number on it. Ohhhh..look, its OS 10.5 Ohhh, shiny. Wow, a new feature, they included a backup program for their OS. OHHH...pretty new icons. BIG ***** DEAL. You're gonna get GPS, and its not even a very useful GPS. No turn by turn directions. Instead of a general location like you get on Google Maps now, you get a pinhead on your actual location. Totally worth it ya think?
- freezerburn666, on 07/08/2008, -3/+11took the word right out of my mouth...
- inactive, on 07/08/2008, -0/+8You mean his mom right?
- Trifold, on 07/08/2008, -0/+7Wow, I wonder how his girlfriend puts up with stunts like this.
Oh right...never mind. - hankidic, on 07/08/2008, -2/+8who cares?
- kolyana, on 07/08/2008, -5/+11Wait ... he's in line already (sad in it's own right), but other stores in NZ open simultaneously, so he may not actually be the first customer world wide anyway ...
I ... I am somewhat speechless. This guy apparently finds it worth waiting for a CHANCE to be the first customer. I kinda hope that he doesn't get it, just to spread a little misery and disappointment where it's most deserved. - mrtrik, on 07/08/2008, -2/+8Isn't there someone in Portugal that already has one?
I don't understand the waiting in line thing. They will be plentiful - at least in the US. - inactive, on 07/08/2008, -3/+9What a nerdburger
- inactive, on 07/08/2008, -1/+7'Special' means 'Retard'
- RizenBB, on 07/08/2008, -2/+6I fail to see how owning a phone with a slightly faster internet connection is some sort of achievement. Half the people I know who have iPhones don't even need them for the features the first gen one had, it's so they can look bad ass cruising MySpace in front of their friends.
- BigRedCube, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4dont forget Flight of the Conchords & the All Blacks
- BigRedCube, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4don't forget it is winter here in NZ....got down to freezing last 2 nights, that's dedication for you
NZ vodafone sucks for charging us way too much for the iPhone - t0x2c, on 07/08/2008, -3/+7Someone's just a negative nancy over here.
- freezerburn666, on 07/08/2008, -1/+5those employees don't count as real people, they're soulless
- inactive, on 07/08/2008, -3/+7total idiocy...
- IphtashuFitz, on 07/08/2008, -1/+4I bet that there are a few Apple & AT&T employees who already have (or will have before Friday) new iPhones, so no matter what he thinks he's likely not going to be first.
- Wootstapler, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Buried as inaccurate.

So much for being the first... - RMoore08, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3iPhone date: July 11th.
Today's date: July 8th. - billygreen23, on 07/08/2008, -1/+4Friday, July 11th.
- areohbe, on 07/08/2008, -2/+5what's to stop someone from stepping in front of him while he sleeps?
- duluxanon, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3I live in New Zealand and theres no way i am buying an iPhone from Vodafone.
The data plans cost $80 a month for 250mb and $250 a month for 1GB of data.
Absolutely ridiculous! But vodafone are the only carrier for now so they're shafting customers who want to be the first owners.
Wait 3 months and buy it unlocked from ebay or be a fool like this guy and pay just over $6,000 for total ownership over two years. Crazy. You could buy a macbook pro for the same amount. - markduyvesteyn, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3the dude cant of heard about the plans
- Daniel591992, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Is he getting the new one?
- davidrools, on 07/08/2008, -6/+8When does the 3G iphone come out? Yeah that's how much I care about it. I'm just curious how long this guy's gonna be waiting.
- Gee1004, on 07/08/2008, -2/+4The way Apple & AT&T is handling the in-store activation. I've lost all interest in the iPhone 3G. Just want to get in, buy the damn box and get out. Opening the iPhone 3G box in the store is stupid
- jesterspawn, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2I was going to say the same thing. I wonder if anyone has the heart to tell him he's not actually the first.
- Pittance, on 07/08/2008, -10/+12No one really cares about the new apple products. Well, no one that really matters anyways.
- bingo000, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2New Zealand is one the nicest places I've been to. If you are broke and cant travel it doesn't mean that the place is boring.
- zheisey, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2"look bad ass" and "cruising MySpace" are oxymorons
- n1cked, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Idiot. The NZ Plans are Worse than Canada - who has that kind of money. $250NZD per month for the 'best' plan which is only 600mins 600txt and 1GB data. $250NZD = $190USD. Watch this video of Vodafone NZ getting SLAMMED on national TV over their obscene pricing. http://digg.com/apple/Vodafone_NZ_Slaughtered_on_T ...
- Caper, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2More detail:

Apparently someone else is as mad as he is waiting at the same store. - edwartica, on 07/08/2008, -1/+3Oh, please let it poor down rain on this guy!
- aseideman, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Loser.... I want one ;)
- zijoud, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2why does anyone care? honestly.
- BigE89, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2Dugg for FotC
