3000 People queue up for the iPhone 3GS in Singapore

Taken moments after I got it and being the 10th in line (queuing for 12 hours), this is probably one of the first videos taken from an iPhone 3GS in Singapore, aptly showing the queue at launch date that makes u go.. "holy cow!"

The video shows to what lengths people can go to get a hand on the iPhone 3GS. Since iPhone 3G was launched just a year ago, it was hard to believe that thousands of people were ready to pay a $300 upgrade fee. This queue is 2 hours before the iPhone store closed, and it is quite likely that atleast 20% of them would overnight in the queue. I guess the iPhone is worth the wait!

Don't know what it is about the iPhone that brings sort of behavior out of people. No other phone on the planet could pull this off.

how much is it? i'm to singapore tomorrow, and i really want to buy it !

[doublehelixes]

10GB is awesome for internet tethering if you have a laptop :D speed is pretty good. 1gb was like $16/mth when I saw it while 10GB was like at $20/mth. $4 more for 10x the data, so why not? :D Was a promotion though.

[GodPiggyX]

10GB!? what do you download with your phone?

1gb is already more than enough. Just get 500mb or less

In Denmark, I have been waiting for 18 days now (from webshop) for a 32GB Black. Others have been waiting almost 1,5 month (Preorder in shops). And the Telephonecompany don't know when they're receiving more phones yet! Sigh!!!
