Unbelievable but true. In front of the flagship store of Apple in New York a line has been forming to get hold of the iPhone 3G. The line started friday afternoon but no names have been publicized. the reason for this line is unclear however as the iPhone 3G will require in-store activation, i guess this is the reason why some people are waiting more then 1 week. If you live in New York would you wait 7 days in advance for the iPhone 3G?
