59p to make ur screen go white -> didn't the dudes who made a similar app for fbook make a bomb off this????

czn, Thursday, 10 July 2008 12:29 (fifteen years ago) link

So they've launched the apps before the firmware or new hardware that can run the apps?

treefell, Thursday, 10 July 2008 12:48 (fifteen years ago) link

(I got the firmware treefell)

Don't think am allowed to talk about the apps till tomorrow.

stet, Thursday, 10 July 2008 12:55 (fifteen years ago) link

shazam: found exactly what I was listening to from am obscure snippet

Nytimes: offline newspaper v nice for tube

Netnewswire: not much better than the website

Exposure: Flickr client pulls pics from where you are, v nice

iTunes remote: da bomb

Or so I've heard.

tets, Thursday, 10 July 2008 12:58 (fifteen years ago) link

basically this is some Christmas morning shit

stet, Thursday, 10 July 2008 13:00 (fifteen years ago) link

the appstore is live; no firmware yet unless you are in the know or "acquire" it

those sound nice; god installer.app was always some bullshit.

god i want this phone. how do i make husband ok with me buying $300 phone when we are poor right now??

sunny successor, Thursday, 10 July 2008 13:06 (fifteen years ago) link

I am a happy man.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 10 July 2008 15:13 (fifteen years ago) link

oops, i went offline during the process and had to restore my phone. now back outside on wifi having a second go...

toby, Thursday, 10 July 2008 17:37 (fifteen years ago) link

No kopelverkoop means any carrier you like, I think.

Yep, "koppelen" means (roughly) to attach. So the sale can't be "attached" to a specific network/carrier. You can basically walk into Mobistar buy the iphone and then use it.

*weeps* -> Not really but inside my heart is breaking a little. I know it's silly but when I hear that peeps can get this for 100 bucks (or whatever) I just wanna bit my flipping Nokia in two.

'Someone stole our tivo!!!'
'I'm sure it'll turn up. Have you seen my new iphone?'

Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 10 July 2008 19:38 (fifteen years ago) link

"This iPhone's beautiful! Wait, where's our daughter?"

"Well, TECHNICALLY she's our daughter..."

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 10 July 2008 19:40 (fifteen years ago) link

you guys

sunny successor, Thursday, 10 July 2008 20:16 (fifteen years ago) link

Going to stand in a lol queue now. Chance of scoring one: approx. -2

Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 10 July 2008 22:49 (fifteen years ago) link

omg the Optus queues are disgusting. Customers trying to push in and start fights with the security staff, FOR A PHONE. Some guy left the shop with a yellow bag in his hand and a shit-eating grin on his face.

Nobody's at the other chains. So there's loads of stock at the wrong places and no stock at the only good place.

Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 10 July 2008 23:19 (fifteen years ago) link

Tried a pokey shop which is very sure it'll have 8Gbs available this afternoon. They'll call me to confirm. Not bad for an impromptu crack.

Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 10 July 2008 23:34 (fifteen years ago) link

optus in north sydney? I USED TO WORK THERE. their penthouse conference room is the shizz

sunny successor, Friday, 11 July 2008 00:26 (fifteen years ago) link

theyre probably all looking down at the fighting masses and laughing right now

sunny successor, Friday, 11 July 2008 00:27 (fifteen years ago) link

at&t store suggested people would be lining up tonight

'600 MILES OUTSIDE SYDNEY'

Autumn Almanac, Friday, 11 July 2008 02:54 (fifteen years ago) link

no stock o welz

Autumn Almanac, Friday, 11 July 2008 04:50 (fifteen years ago) link

Tried again, queued for 45 mins, got to THIRD in the queue and the provisioning system packed it in. I should not have got up this morning.

Autumn Almanac, Friday, 11 July 2008 08:10 (fifteen years ago) link

meanwhile, for original iPhone owners ... WHERE THE FUCK IS MY UPGRADE LINK, THEN? freshly installed iTunes 7.7 still tells me my phone is up to date. hmm.

grimly fiendish, Friday, 11 July 2008 09:24 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm waiting on being allowed to waste money on the firmware upgrade for my iPod Touch.

treefell, Friday, 11 July 2008 09:25 (fifteen years ago) link

yeh, the software update page at apple.com says coming soon. wankers, that's a morning's procrastination from work i need to rethink.

grimly fiendish, Friday, 11 July 2008 09:27 (fifteen years ago) link

it's a big letdown here: they expected tons of ppl (at the midnight intro of the phone in brussels) but not that many ppl showed up. hah. probably the others were all online importing one. my dad mailed me saying it costs 125 euros for an iphone in tokyo. BASTARD! why did he need to TELL me that. *weeps* :-)

stevienixed, Friday, 11 July 2008 09:41 (fifteen years ago) link

my pal at work was off to get his at 8am. no text yet. i fear the worst.

grimly fiendish, Friday, 11 July 2008 09:45 (fifteen years ago) link

(well, OK. fearing the worst would be, i dunno, he got eaten by a robot shark on the way to the store. i fear "something has gone wrong with the purchasing process", but that's a bit less effective.)

grimly fiendish, Friday, 11 July 2008 09:46 (fifteen years ago) link

grimly, doesn't this one work that stet posted^

I'm still waiting on DHL. And despite the fact that the O2 site tells me it was dispatched yesterday, the DHL site doesn't recognise the consignment number they've given me. Hmm.

JimD, Friday, 11 July 2008 10:56 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh wait, MOTHERFUCKERS. Just found a DHL card that's been shoved through the letterbox despite the fact that I AM IN MY FUCKING HOUSE and NOBODY KNOCED ON THE FUCKING DOOR.

Bunch of shitting cunts!

JimD, Friday, 11 July 2008 11:03 (fifteen years ago) link

I heard noises at the door when I was in the shower, dude...

ledge, Friday, 11 July 2008 11:04 (fifteen years ago) link

NYAAAAAAAAAAH!

Thought those were just "you in the shower" noises. Intercom didn't go off, presumably cos SHITHEAD builders have left the door downstairs open.

COCK WANK ARSE.

Talked to DHL and they can't redeliver until monday. Best I can do it go to the depot in vauxhaul at 6.30ish tonight and hope the driver's been back before they close at 7ish.

I HATE EVERYTHING.

JimD, Friday, 11 July 2008 11:11 (fifteen years ago) link

jim, that is shit luck :(

grimly, doesn't this one work that stet posted^

i want THE PROPER APPLE-SANCTIONED ONE, dammit.

grimly fiendish, Friday, 11 July 2008 11:22 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm lined up for mine now!

Pancakes Hackman, Friday, 11 July 2008 11:31 (fifteen years ago) link

um, new iPhone, not a punch in the balls.

Pancakes Hackman, Friday, 11 July 2008 11:32 (fifteen years ago) link

likely story

HI DERE, Friday, 11 July 2008 12:02 (fifteen years ago) link

hang on, this is an unmitigated clusterfuck, isn't it?

O2's servers go tits-up as soon as the UK launch happens

NO FUCKING WAY, this cannot be real ... O2's web signup incompatible with safari?

grimly fiendish, Friday, 11 July 2008 12:19 (fifteen years ago) link

er, and i can't post links properly. the first link should point to this page instead.

still. i'm not apple. or O2. so fuck it.
