The iPhone gets released on Friday, and even though I’ve paid the deposit, I don’t have heaps of confidence in getting one on the release day. A little bird recently told me that Optus and Vodafone both have 4000 units each. And Telstra only got 1000, due to them jumping on the bandwagon a bit too late. it’s going to be a long, long day. Quickest possible, Optus contracts take about 15 minutes.

My only real advantage is that I live in a regional area, with a local store that will have stock on the day, they may have less stock, but they should have less people waiting.
