Queuing for the new iPhone? That's SO last decade

My iPhone Journey

So people are camping outside Apple stores to be the first to nab an iPhone 5. Are we surprised? The world is divided into some who understand why, those who don't and the rest who have more important stuff to be concerned about.

I queued once. I was nearly 8 months pregnant and wanted the 3G. Finally Apple had tempted me to upgrade my iPod lifestyle to a smartphone with mobile broadband. Carphone Warehouse on London Road Brighton only had about 20 people and I was about 10th in the line. As I wanted a white one & wasn't bothered about memory (which I later regretted) I walked away with one that morning before they sold out. Part of desperate need to get the phone could be attributed to 'nesting' and wanting to get the item purchased before baby came. What's everyone else's excuse?
