Wow! Just Wow!

The press is covering all the big news quite well, only the people
scared of the iPhone seem to be upset. Nokia is extremely worried by
this event, they can't get anyone to stand in line, much less buy their
poorly featured, heavy, very expensive cell phones. Apple has them by
the balls and they can't do a thing about it at this point in the game.
Typical news is positive, over 10,000 sold in the first day in Germany.
In Germany, the phone went on sale at more than 700 T-Mobile shops,
including one in Cologne that opened just after midnight with some 350
customers already waiting outside.
By 5 p.m., Deutsche Telekom AG, which owns T-Mobile, said it sold more
than 10,000 iPhones in Germany through its shops and online.

Looks like you dug around and found the sole UK location (according to
the articles I read) with any sort of crowd and are using this to
supposedly represent typical UK reaction...

nope, it was just this first one to come up.
here is Sky News's take...

but if you remember, the big lines in the States weren't at AT&T stores
either, all the fun is at the 200 Apple stores.
we'll see plenty of videos and pictures as the days progress...

Why would a Cologne store open "just after midnight" when the phone was
available from 6.02pm?
The Register summed it up quite nicely, as "a tight-knit group of media
and PR people got caught in a feedback loop".

BTW, I'm still waiting for you to tell me where I can download the
source code for the Finder. Thanks!

noticed that too, not sure since the plan was 6:02pm for everyone.
sure, but except for some cold rain, it turned out to be europe's
biggest cellphone event ever.

Could you post the URL you got the story from? That'll help clear it up.

I have, years ago, and there's no access to the Finder source.

Yes, good one, but it could be 00:02 - "just after midnight"...
> In Germany it is T-Mobile, so the "02" part of it makes no sense.
