got me my 3G iPhone!

yahoo!!!!!!!

never knew I was going to get it tonight, came as a surprise to me when Ad told me in the afternoon that we ARE going to the launch of the 3G iPhone tonight... or rather the very 1st min of 22nd of August!

We alighted along Killiney Road and the people queuing to get into the building for their phone for the min past midnight is CRAZILY long! It was 1140pm at night!!! Why are there hundreds of Singaporean in the queue for a phone?



There were giant screens doing countdown..... just to ensure that the crowd has a fair idea of how long more is their long awaited iPhone going to reach their hands hee....



Oops, round the bend, there was ANOTHER queue! This time they were queuing infront of a new structure that looked like the NY Apple Cube which has been replicated in many countries subsequently....


These folks looked HOT under the tentage, no one would believe that its almost midnight here.... the heat is ON!
Has there been any company out there who dares to pull a stunt like this? Launching at midnight and expecting a crowd+media+cab support? Never! Even the cab driver who took us home was asking us a million question about the iPhone even about WHEN is he going to get HIS iPhone... considering that he just placed his order last Fri.... I think maybe much later! Taxi uncle was asking about surfing on the iPhone, dun play play! iPhone is really opening up the internet world to so many MORE! Cool!

Here's the "cube"


Its wrapped up like a giant present with lots of new 3G iPhones inside.... *slurp*


Following a countdown and the "unwrapping" of the cube-present, there were fireworks on the roof! That kinda thrilled us for a while hee... but you can sense that the crowd really just want to get their hands on the iPHONE! *hurry*

And the 1st guy who registered for the iPhone in Singapore got his goodie! This lucky chap was the focus of many many cameras, video-cameras, mobile phone cameras and the envy of MANY! For him, his wait started in June!

Applause for this lucky dude!



As for me, I din go home empty handed as well.... I got meself a new 3G iPhone too!! hee... not too bad for a night's out *wink*
anyone wanna borrow my new 3G iPhone?
