Finally..a rice-colored iPhone!
That wasn’t funny the first time.
I don’t know what the big deal is about lines many blocks long. This always happens, especially for Android introductions. No, …wait! Oh, never mind!
Wow that wobbly video made me seasick. It almost made me think they were videoing an earthquake aftershock.

Very lucky indeed! Congratulations on your excellent timing and purchases. Enjoy!
it still amazes me to see the lines.
Too bad US stock analysts are too distracted by investments in Microsoft and Rim to notice.
