I went to the Apple Store on George Street tonight, on the iPhone eve.

They are real enthusiasts. :-))

One store representative pointed at the Telstra shop opposite their store and told me that, that shop would be opening to sell iPhone tomorrow morning, not them. He said he had no idea why the fans were waiting there at the door.
There was only one guy staying at the door of that Telstra shop at that moment, the guard. The guard told me that the Telstra shop would start selling the first iPhone handset at 6am tomorrow morning, whereas the Apple Store should open at 8am, two hours after them. He was also really curious why no any of those fans came over there, though the shop already prepared tapes to partition the crowd they expected. But, no one was there!
