Im getting nervous now. Seems like I'll have to stand in line after I finish work at 3:30. The line will be substantial by then. I'll be ordering online beforehand too. In the US a lot of people who waited in line day after day would have been better off ordering online straight away.

What do you want him to say? That he would be deeply upset that he couldn't please everyone...
exactly.. better to have a back up plan.. which i may just rely on anyway.. assuming the website doesn't crumble!

He said they'll open the boxes at 5... Those boxes could be opened as soon as they arrive.

Nooooo!
Must be because it is a student area I guess... Always seems to be empty.
I got my iPhone 3Gs from carphone warehouse and just phoned apple directly when I had problems .. they mailed through a new phone to me with no problem at all

what i'm saying is, wouldn't it be better to know what stock you have and get an indication from the people queuing up.. so at least they know that after person x in the queue, their stock had run out.. so those people can then go queue somewhere else?
just seems a lack of organisation to me... even pc world are going to be doing this i believe.. all 4 people in the queue.. lol
although students i see nowadays seem to have endless amounts of cash with their flash cars etc...
