@fanofmodi true man. Glad that i didnt wait for iPhone and bought the N81 on my bday. Are you from gujarat btw? Asking coz your nick looks like fan of modi?
Ya m from gujarat and fan of modi because he defeated all the media and proved them wrong. By the way today i received sms from vodafone inviting to check out the iphone. So i just went and asked the dumb guys, does it have video reco. His answer was
fcourse sir. It took him more than 5mins to check, and the answer was: other than video reco it has every feature. I laughed and left the desk.

For the launch of the iPhone is Poland, actors were paid by Orange to queue outside shops to make it look like there was a big interest in the phone.

Wow, I can't believe it. Someone in marketing at Orange should lose their job over that.
I was present at the world's first iPhone 3G launch in Auckland and the queues were genuine. The buzz around the store 2hrs before launch was electric and at midnight (launch time) reached fever pitch!
I didn't buy an iPhone, just went along to check out the phone, the hype and get some photos and video for Esato and came away impressed (with everything except VodafoneNZ's pricing that is).
Trying to recreate that excitement 6 weeks later is just dumb IMO, especially when Poles can get one from other parts of Europe quite easily.
I think Whizzkid's right about the Indian cancellations. The same happened here when VodafoneNZ drip fed info to potential customers and then sufferered a scathing backlash when the monthly plans were revealed.
Revised plans have quietly appeared just recently

Well, according to the spokesman (found a more detailed quote), the role of the actors hired by Orange Poland was to give "advice" to regular customers and create a buzz around the iPhone.
http://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/W[....]uczne_kolejki_po_iPhone_y.html here are some pictures and a video of such a fake queue. It looks like even paid actors didn't want to line up for the iPhone too much.
