Anyways… So the Iphone 4… well everyone wants it!! and even if they say they dont… theyre just kidding themselves or trying to not make a big deal out of it! I know… I was one of those people… up until I found out I could get one for cheap!!! 🙂 Then I sold my iphone 3G and got it!
I used to work downtown near Pacific Centre at the United States Department of Commerce and every lunch I would go PC with a few friends who also worked downtown. and OH MY GOD! People would be waiting in line for hours! I would ask some of them and they would say we’ve been here for 5 hours… I would just laugh and walk away… little did I know I would be doing the exact same!!!
I waited every day for 3 weeks outside the Rogers store  when they would get their afternoon shipment in of phones… was never sure if they had them and they didnt know either… but after one day of them lying to me and telling me they did I SNAPPED AND DECIDED I WAS GOING TO GET ONE! So one day my friend and i took the day off work and woke up at 4:00 and waited in line at 5:30… we got the iphone but the amount of people waking up at hte same time as us… OMG! There was sooooo people! And I got to talking to a few… people had been lining up everyday at this time and then going home if they didnt get them to try again the next day!
This is successful marketing! Apple and Iphone have created such a buzz!!! And now a month after I got my iphone I hear that the line up is still happening and people still cant get the phone… My friend waited in line the other day… when he called me later and told me all I could do was laugh because that poor old sod used to be me!!
This is an example of the line up if you have never seen it…
