Hi!
So, on the main iPhone thread it seems that most people have taken the sensible route and preordered their iPhone.
I suffer from both a lack of patience and a lack of reliable delivery drivers so have decided to brave Q'ing outside my local O2 in Poole on Friday morning.
This will be the second time I have queued for an iPhone, last time was for the 4. Think it's going to be a bit colder at 5am this time!
Here is what I think I will be taking with me:
* Camping chair - I don't mind sitting on the floor but last time, some bloke in one of those street cleaners insisted on coming along and soaking the floor at about 7am...I'm far too lazy to stand when I should be in bed so a chair is a must
* Flask of coffee - you do not want to be near me when I don't have any coffee. There is a starbucks not too far away but as I will be on my own I won't be able to leave the queue to go get one.
* iPod - my Galaxy SII goes through battery life crazy fast so definitely think a different source of music is needed
* magazine - nothing like a few nudey royal pictures to brighten my morning ???
*Brolly and rain coat - because if it can rain, it will!
I'm no doubt going to be the only girl down there to start with so may have to brush up on my techie knowledge as I am sure all the chat is going to be 4G/LTE etc based
Anything else you think I will need? What will you be taking down to queue?
Where are you going and what time will you be getting there? I'm hoping 5am is early enough!

On the flip side if I were a customer:
Things to do before I leave the house:
Things I may need in the queue:
I may add more as I think of things

And I thought drug addiction was a big problem in the UK - seems it's not the white stuff (unless it has 64GB of memory, that is)

I'd never thought of it like that but the symptoms are very similar :
1. First thing to have on waking up
2. Repeated use during the day
3. Withdrawal effects if it's not available to use (lost/stolen/broken)
4. When new strain comes on the market, must have it immediately
5. Increased use over period of time
6. In denial if questioned about use
