there were people camping out in front of an At&t store in Thornton CO (just outside of Denver) LOL
...
lol my friend works at that store and he found it sad people waiting for the phone, cause they went and asked most he found are trying to just buy it full price and not sign up.

I would have paid to see the look on their face when they realize that that is NOT an option.
...
he didnt tell them making them wait until 6 to tell them, he says why ruin their day, New Info on the iphone is that people are using it as a street drug.
...
When they realize they did not have to stand in line all day they will feel like fools as well. Ya think?
...
i think people are just stupid all together its a phone. its so 1337
...
it is, though. They sign up for it using iTunes.
...
it's called making a profit. Not sad. What's sad is they'll make more reselling it than they would staying at work today.
THAT'S sad.
...
Considering I have other plans this afternoon, I will not be able to swing by our mall here in Battle Creek to check. But I can't imagine it going over that big here. This area (by my observation only, not a scientific sample)seems to be dominated by Nextel and Sprint, with T-Mobile perhaps third. (Verizon's only here because they bought out Cricket in this market.)

Will they be sober enough to buy at 6:00?
...
I doubt it. Stinky? Yes.

It might sound loserish, but in that description lies the answer to how people can line up for stuff like this. Some folks will turn the line into an experience. When the Manhattan Apple store had its grand opening, word has it that the lineup outside was the venue for a few marriage proposals.
When Star Wars nerds lined up to get tickets for episodes I-III, it was as much about being surrounded by other Star Wars nerds (if not moreso) than the actual films.
...
I mean with the PS3 ok..there werre only 400K available..but there are 3million available..why are people camping out...?
...
why else would they??? they are morons.
...
lets face it people are stupid its a phone, they act like its going to change their lifes.
...
AHHAAAA! With the power of the Iphone I will be the Envy of all mac users everywhere!!!!!!!!!!
...
word on the street is if u hold the iphone in the air and chant steve jobs 3 times he will appear to u.
...
I don't know if I'd want that.
...
I WOULD! I'd kick him in the groin for my freakin iPod not working!
...
i cant wait to start getting calls from customers that "awoke to a broken display" swearing they didnt drop/sit on it....oh happy days...
...
at leaste with the iphone we can just tell them to f!ck off and transfer them to apple....let them deal with it.
...
Lol, Thats nearly the exact same thing I was thinking of responding with! ๐คฃ
The silver lining to this big ugly ordeal.
...
no ones covering the phone which is funy we wont even do a 1x replace for it.
...
I like that! ๐ {Remember, I'm in WSC.}
...
att doesnt....apple has a one year manufacturers warranty just like every other phone tho....only difference is att's warranty dept will not have anything to do with the process
...
u are from wsc your last name must be hawkins from base lien phoinex az , i hate your damn english. all are over seas. what i like is that if wsc trys to transfer a customer wish an iphone to us we can now hang up on them.

by the way your wrong....and i speak perfectly good english ๐คฃ
...

koziekat--
english??...the way you type, it looks like your out of manila or somthing.
so please dont try and critisize anyones "english". ๐
...
i never said mine was best i suck at typing and spell bad. i cant write a paper to save my life, i am more a math geek. but i stand by it people from manila need to be shot.
...
I agree, for reasons I won't go into online.
...
well i think thats somthing we can ALL agree on.....but every dept has their dipsh!ts and morons (wsc just seems to have alot more of them... ๐คจ ), but ive had my fair share of asurion reps that dont know their @ss from the heads.
...
thats why i am gald i dont work for asurion anymore. ccc is ok to be in.
...
but what i was saying was that if wsc trys to transfer a person with an iphone to use we refuse to take the call and tell them call ccc. even if they have insurance we dont take the call.
...
that seems a bit ridiculous....i hate transferes that are not needed just as much as the next guy, but if the customer has been paying for insurance and thinks he is eligable for an insurance claim then it should be the insurance dept that explains the situation to them not anyone else (besides maybe cc).
personaly im fine with explaining that....i cant wait to tell customers this kind of stuff after they have waited in line to pay full price for the phone....after customers piss you off for so long its great to be able to return the favor.....but again, thats just me.
the people that run asurion are morons (alot like the people i work for), and this just prooves it.
...
no its just the iphone my friend sent me all the stuff asurion has for it. it pretty much says your screwed good job. they wont even do a 1x time replacement for iphone but for any other smart phone they will. and btw u can tell people the N75 can now have insurnace as of today.
...
you cant get the 1xcourtesy replacment b/c they dont have them avail to send out....if warranty dont have it....insurance dont have it.
...
it seems rather mean to not do the one time replacement. but hey i can under why.
...
yeah...well if the people that sold the phones can do their job right *crosses fingers* they will cancel the insurance on the account after its sold
...
dont matter their not doing the one time replacement at all for iphone so even if their paying for insurnace its just canceled.

Not to be mean, kosie, but yours isn't too good either.
...
i wouldn't be so hasty to correct other's english and grammatical errors. Your english is horrible.
...
damn right mines is i stated that before but then again most of times everyones is, but most wont admit it, i am more history and math smart.
...
it's time zone specific. 6pm in ALL zones. So it's 6pm in Salt Lake City, but it's also released 6pm in Washington DC. Due to this, people on the east coast will receive the iPhone 3 hours before the West Coast.
Fun, huh?
...
hmm so i guess its for sale now in cali....yaaaaay...
...
no it is only noon in cali.
...
OH YEAH...its the otherway around..don't i feel dumb.
...
....no....the first place it goes for sale is the east coast...because when it's 6pm there, it's 3pm in cali...
wow.
