      <![CDATA[This is pathetic for so many reasons. It's probably more lucrative to just get a job in a burger joint in the long run. Of course, having a job flipping burgers is actual work, as opposed to sitting in your car guarding the sidewalk for days on end. Pathetic.

      <![CDATA[I got mine last week.  A guy at the store told me to make a reservation online at the magic hour of 10 pm, and then I got an email in the morning that it was ready for me, then I went in to pick it up.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/</a><br>
<br>
My brother, however, somehow managed to walk in and just get one a couple of weeks ago.  I guess the hoarders had that day off.<br>
<br>
I'm still wondering where these people in the U.S. are who are paying extra.  It's not that hard to figure out how to get one.  My friend in Miami, though, bought a bunch and sold them in Brazil.  I don't think he did the lawn chair thing, though he did mention possibly flying to Puerto Rico to just to get some from the Apple Store there.

      <![CDATA[Don't you have to enter into a two year contact to get a phone for that price and then pay a contract termination fee if you get out early?  I assume they don't and just deal with all the debt collection stuff later on.  Great business model.
