The funny thing about this thread is it's a day or two before a bunch of you will post 'I got it!'
I think a lot of people are somewhat envious this guy got his phone early, so they feel better by poking fun at him behind the anonymity of their computer screen.
I'm sure we all could have a good laugh at just about every member (and their families) if we showed them acting excited about something they'd been looking forward to receiving. (imagine the potshots people would have at your family opening Christmas or birthday presents....)
I'm happy for the guy. He obviously was excited enough about the phone (like a lot of people here) to preorder it.

I think all this is a reaction to how shockingly unique Indiana culture is. A lot of people dont know how quirky that specific state is. I would describe it as everyone thinks its "cool to be bad" but they take it to a over-the-top degree that comes off corny to anyone else. But there, in their world, its normal, even cool.
So we can't judge them, nor can we judge those that judge us. To say that as Americans we are all one way or another is the onus of those judging us in the first place; when as Americans we pride ourselves on being a variety of things, all blessings of freedom.
You have to understand that thats just the way Indiana culture is. The same way California or New York or Chicago or Florida might have their own cultural quirks, what defines Indiana is a proud identity of counterculture. That is the beauty of these United States is there is something of everything in different places and its all about the variety. Variety is what defines US.
Some of us are ghetto, some of us are pompous, some of us are self righteous, but of all of us are human and we should all respect each others differences and wish success and happiness upon our fellow man despite our differences.
Even if that annoying lady thought it was wayyy too cool that it was the iPhone and acted like all of a sudden shes in a new class in society or something--- forgive her.
We are all just the totality of our socially transmitted behaviour patterns, morals, values, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.
Lets all be positive to one another and forgive and not judge each other, and use that as an example to send out to other nations who might ignorantly judge us, so they may learn from it and spread positivity to future generations.
Sending out positive vibes ))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I enjoyed seeing the obvious affection she has for him, their excitement, and how the iPhone 4 has captured America's collective imagination. If yor no other reason, that alone is a reason to buy AAPL.

Shut up!
Why do you guys have to say **** about the guy? I think your all just jealous that he has his Verizon iPhone already.

Not everyone in this thread is a Verizon customer, so jealousy doesn't make sense. I'm just goofing on the guy filming this. I've never understood why people make videos of stuff like this, but I guess everyone wants a few minutes of internet fame.
Indeed. Plus half the good details were missing.
Then again this wasn't an unboxing vid, but a brag tape. So the low quality rather fit
The word Verizon was in the headline, so why did you click it.
I suppose next I'll go into a thread about Orange and demand no more articles about them cause I am not in the UK
There is an exceptional amount of silliness in this thread. I'm starting to come to term with the fact that the entire world has just gone...
Silly. We're one big flock of silly geese, flying around, flapping our wings and such.

Definitely. At least he'll have someone to facetime with unlike those in the iPhone forum talking about "Test out facetime here! (if you're lonely!)".
I can't believe all the hate going on in this thread. More iPhone users = more and more R&D dollars for the iPhone 5 and 6 and so on.
Quit being haters
Oh lord, when the iPhone 4 came out to AT&T it was huge hype. Why can't you let the Verizon users have their hype? Why such hate on here? It really doesn't make sense to post a bunch of nasty unnecessary comments, who are you helping?
I'm sure if I was on Verizon and I could finally get an iPhone I would be pretty excited.
