“Technology buffs have a wait of less than a day before they get their hands on Apple’s new iPhone, with Optus holding a launch party at midnight on Thursday.”
“Optus will begin selling the iPhone to registered customers at their Sydney store on George Street, with the rest of the country getting access to the much-anticipated device at 7am (AEST) on Friday.”
“Apple release the iPhone internationally on Friday, and thanks to our place in the international time zone, Australians will be among the first in the world to purchase the much-anticipated gadget.”
“Optus’s Melissa Clare said the launch party in Sydney would begin at 10pm (AEST) on Thursday night, with MTV’s Gaustina Agolley, or Fuzzy, hosting the event.”
“Anybody will be able to buy the phone on Friday morning, but Optus will give priority to those that have registered.”
Additional Thoughts: Hey, I like to party but unfortunately there is no scheduled event to mark this historic occasion like that here. So instead I’m just going to have to stand in line for hours like the rest of us. Damn.
