    I waited in line for 5 hours just for them to go "We are all out..." right as I was like 3rd in line.

    Really sucks.

    Its kind of a marketing strategy, I mean you guys are here because your Gods on the internet but maybe I can explain (briefly) why thy do this.

    This is practically exactly what happened between Nintendo and the Wii. Instead of producing huge amounts of iPhones (or Wii's) to let everyone who wants one in the first week to have one they "under-produce" so that there is a sense of urgency to pick up an iPhone, because you know it probably won't be there later. If your walking in a store a full year after the Wii launch and they still haven't produced enough that you have to call up your local electronics store to ask them when there next shipment of Wii's come in. Then you go wait in line for an hour and pick one up. (True story) As I said Nintendo did this, and Apple is probably doing this but on a lower scale then Nintendo. By creating urge in the customer, they feel inclined to buy it.

    If you want use GPS on the iPhone 3G, you need activate 3G?
    I think the GPS is working together with Google Maps, and for this you need internet connection...
    Another Method for Real GPS on your iPhone is this: h t t p : / / iphone-navigation.blogspot.com :)

    That sucks, you were good as well, since I say you are reputed, trustworthy, and you're in England.

    Thanks for that.

    A lot of people have been asking if I'm selling the phone and I was at the time, my buddy in real life bought it however.
