Jul 10 2008iPhone On Sale Tomorrow, This Kiwi Got One

Well folks, in case you had forgotten, the 3G iPhone goes on sale tomorrow. And, apparently, this assblastingcap in the photo was the first to procure said device because he lives in New Zealand, and somehow it's already Friday over there. Anybody understand how that works? I don't. Is the world spinning faster over there or something? Does it have to do with magnets? Is it ever like a full week ahead? Because if so I want to go over there, watch the news from over here, and then fly back and play the lottery real quick once I know the winning numbers. Does anybody do that? Is it illegal?
3G iPhone tomorrow, who's getting one? Who doesn't care? Who thought I was being serious about the whole time travel thing? I'm not stupid, I know it doesn't have anything to do with magnets. It's something about Australia's gravitational influence.

All i care about is being first.

All I can say is I don't need one. My Zack Morris phone works just fine. Everytime I use it I feel like I'm some Colombian drug lord from the mid-80's sitting out on a yacht telling my "assistant" that Manuel has obviously betrayed the cartel and needs to be eliminated.
Can the iPone do that?

I'm from NZ, and if it makes everyone feel any better, we do get the iphone first because we're almost a day ahead of America BUT we do have the most expensive prices for it in the entire world so in our faces!!!

Yeah Im from NZ too and our plans are ridiculous. Starting at $80 NZ up to $250 NZ a month for the 1GB plan. Horrendous.
