Defeated! And the shops aren’t even open…

This was the scene outside Reading’s O2 store at 6.30 this morning.

See that man at the front of the queue? That’s Darren. Darren arrived at 2.30 this morning. That my friends, is dedicated geekery. The next in line did not get there until 5.15.

Almost everyone in line wanted the 16Gb version, and many are sure to be disappointed. I was – there won’t be any 16Gb iPhones left at the end of that queue, and I don’t want an 8Gb 3G iPhone, so I’ll have to wait for Apple to restock O2.

In the meantime though, there is the small matter of the new firmware. Super Monkey Ball here I come…

    Leicester Carphone Warehouse wasn’t quite that bad. I arrived at 6am to find one person in the queue, who’d been there since 5:45.

    By 9am there were around 20 of us. I’d say about half that wanted 16gb phones, of which the store had 4.
