iPhone 3G japan Launch
UPDATE: Launch event coverage in the iPhone Japan article.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

I already have the iPhone, but I'll be getting that new one soon. I found a site that'll buy the old ones, so it won't be a total loss. I won't be waiting in line, though. I never stand in line. except for free money, heh.
Student
What site man? I need to check it out. By the way, this comment was posted on a iPhone. Looking forward to the new release and update for the first iPhone

I am wondering why some Japanese will wait in line to get a 3G iphone. I mean there are a lot of cool phones that are much better than iphone in Japan.

I do love OSX... so maybe your right. I just wish apple could build a great priced desktop (not iMac) that runs as fast as my new custom hackintosh. Hey maybe next year it will snow :)

I'd never line up for days for any product. ^^ My max would probably be 2 hours. It's just a total waste of time.

The only product I lined up for was a midnight launch of the Wii... I was first in line half an hour before launch...

Hey, Danny. Leo Laporte is doing a 24 hours of iPhone madness for the TWiTLive network. You should call in, as I don't think we have anyone in Japan yet. I think your best chance is to visit twitlive.tv if you can get internet and call in via the Skype line.
No, I won't be getting an iPhone, because I can't afford the data plan.

Want to go city on Thursday night and take photos at the Optus store, I think that's the main stop for the iphone in Sydney (280 George Street for Optus launch, across the St from the new Apple store for Telstra (not sure) and I think Regimental Square in Wynyard for Vodafone). Not sure if I'll make it... it take me over an hr to get there u_u ~orz.
A certain shiny white something is it? *o*~ hehe, look forward to the photos~!

That softbank shop always has a sales girl at the entrance talking to herself since no one ever listens. Finally the crowd arrives to hear her.

The novelty value will just wear off if everyone were to get one of these. Don't really see what is all the buzz about the iPhone.
