And he looks like a normal, nice guy with no agenda. Cool.

I bet Steve Jobs already has one, so sorry, he won't be first. But he got his 15 seconds of fame.

When the first iPhone was released last year, I walked into the Biltmore Apple Store in Phoenix and bought my iPhone the day after it was released. No line, although the store was pretty busy. Anyone who's waiting in line is wasting their time. Apple will have plenty of iPhones on Friday and the days after.

First Post!
Whay bother for a phone with no plastic keyboard? (S Ballmer)

upps! no first post. :(

Apple should give him one for free, and the publicity will help ensure long, early forming lines in the future.

Or they could offer him a "Zune" for his place in line, and when he says "No", they could use it for their next commercial.

Or they could offer him a windows mobile phone and when he says "No"....

Shiller has the easiest job on the planet!!

What I want to know is this: In photo #2, who is that babe in the spiked heels?

she is the reason for the pitched tent. : P

I really, really hope he uses his 15mins of fame to have a crack at Vodafone for inflicting the WORLDS HIGHEST iPhone prices on NZ. Outrageous - Vodafone NZ make Rogers plans seem generous.

Bizarre NZ prices. Rogers looks like a good deal. Hard to imagine how the iPhone could catch on there. But, then again gas (petrol) is $2.12/litre = $8.03/gallon and kiwis still drive cars. If there was an Apple store in New Zealand, would Apple be pulling iPhones from there too?

@ bizlaw FAIL!

"... he hopes to become the first man in the world to BUY an Apple iPhone 3G ..."

Steve Jobs gets his for free.

I sure hope "bizlaw" doesn't mean you are practising to become a business lawyer as lawyers need to be a bit sharper on the details of written statements.

You tell the world Johnny!

"But, then again gas (petrol) is $2.12/litre = $8.03/gallon and kiwis still drive cars. "

Actually it's $2.18.9/ltr now !!!! nearly went though a red light when I saw it.

Hey Canada, just be glad you aren't NZ's hat like you are America's. Rogers seems to be pretty generous now.

The best part about this story is the fact THE GUY HAS A TENT UP. And right behind that tent is a sign that says HOTEL! I think he has it wrong. Just put a cardboard cut out and sleep in the hotel with room service for crying outloud.

Do you think if he paid enough, the hotel would bring him room service?
