Lol, not me I'm in Melbourne, not Sydney. Also note that the people in the queue are 98% Asian (not being racist, just an observation! Oh yes, i'm also Asian myself!)

Here is an article in the news today decrying the iDiots queuing up: http://www.news.com.au/technology/b...f-the-apocalypse/story-fn5lic6c-1226723427827

BTW, I walked into a Telstra shop tonight and asked if I could buy an iPhone 5S outright. They said sure, they only had black and silver available in 32GB or 64GB. Interesting ... in the past they would for sure be sold out on launch day. FWIW when the Galaxy S4 and the HTC One launched, you could not buy one on launch day here unless you prebooked.

I knew you were in Melbourne and knowing the love you have for the iphone I thought you made the trip to Sydney to stand in line
