If you want to meet a real iPhone fanatic peoples, Merrick Brown are one amongst them . He had just returned from five exhausted day, 32,000 km round trip to the east coast of the United States just to be the first batch to get the new Apple release.
The 26-year-old New York consultant says he has fixated on the touch-sensitive phone, with an in-built iPod that can also be used to surf the web, ever since it had its first public showing in January.
Analysts in the US estimate that Apple and its phone company partner AT&T may have sold over 700,000 iPhones last weekend. And 95 of Apple’s 164 stores and many of the AT&T outlets around the country are reported to have sold out.
The device, which comes in two models priced at $US499 ($580) and $US599 ($700), is only sold in the US where it can only be used on AT&T’s mobile phone network.Scores of hackers and gadget enthusiasts have literally taken the iPhone apart in an attempt to discover how it works and - importantly - how the phone can be “unlocked” and used on other networks in the US and in places where it has not yet been released.
And for your information,Merrick Brown is an on secondment in Sydney and the iPhone didn’t fucntion as mobile phones since Apple plans to launch the phone in Europe later this year and in Australia in 2008.
Mr Brown believes that it will only be a matter of time before someone cracks the code that will allow him to use his iPhone in Australia to make and take calls - a breakthrough that could lead to a flood of iPhones being imported into country ahead of the official local launch.
Hola Mr. Merrick Brown for new iPhone. I wishI have it.
