The MAYOR of Philadelphia, John Street, was in line at 3:30 am. We are the murder capital of the country and this is how he spends his time. Note that the phone doesn't go on sale until 6PM this evening. So he is taking the whole day off to sit outside and buy a phone. Is it a surprise the city is such a dump?

There was a bit in the paper, a local lady is getting paid $250 per phone to wait (has her kids there too) and getting a phone for each she buys

A couple of guys at the bar were laughing about until I pointed out that they (we) had been at the bar the same amount of time

Rumor has it the local Apple store in the mall is packed out. People with lawn chairs, portable DVD players, the works. Nutty.

I was laughing my a$$ off at the E-bay auctions last night. One lunatic had an iphone listed with a $5000 minimum bid! Shockingly, there were no takers.

Just saw an 8GB model sell for $699 on eBay with free FedEx overnight delivery, and no tax if you don't live in the seller's state.

Not bad, but my local Apple stores still have 'em, so still a better deal for me to pick one up here and pay the tax.

Don't you need to sign a two year to buy? What does the eBay seller do with that contract? Just use a different phone?
