Sydney Apple store: View from the queue
June 19th, 2008 by Ella MortonApple's Sydney store doesn't open to the public until 5pm this evening, but the queue for entry began with 30 hours to go. We talk to a queuer about Macs, cults and the turtlenecked wonder that is Steve Jobs.
Spending a winter night curled up on the pavement for the sake of a free t-shirt may seem rather mad, but for the assembled Apple aficionados, it's more about the shared experience — and the bragging rights.
In this video we speak to Moyzschya Belle, the second person in the queue and an Apple user since 1984.

The nightmare with Vodafone continues! I ordered an iPhone the day after they were released from the Vodafone shop - Moved my Optus account to Vodafone and waited to upgrade to the iPhone plan (as advised to me by the Vodafone shop assistant) - 3 days later was hit with a $550.00 internet usage charge on a phone I was using that doesn't have internet access - was still waiting for my iPhone to arrive. Gave up with Vodafone - too many excuses blaming Apple for everything. they even said the phone wasn't going to be locked but they are - these people are lying to everyone and then trying to lock you into a 2yr contract - Beware!! Even if you want to get out of the contract for poor service etc... Vodafone wont care - you have to pay the full contract exit fee's. If you complain they just hang up on you - Vodafone Custoemr Care = Customer Dont Give a F#@K
