Added on December 15, 2011, 11:49 pmThey finish up the registration for 9-12am slot. Right after 12am is merely collection. So the entire things will be sped up.

I pity those not under VIP la, they stand for so long. Some also sit on the floor while the VIP member can get free drink and live performance.

QUOTE(nonick79 @ Dec 16 2011, 10:18 AM)
those on 12am to 3am time slot is much luckier than 9pm to 12 am prelaunch slot. I reach there at 8.45 pm and queue up 1 hour just to get it. by that time the queue is not moving and people start sitting on the floor and we have to wait till 12 am to get the phone. Maxis wanted people to queue up for the hype but treat us more like a cattle as there is no place to sit and no entertainment for us. the media keep taking photos, good for Maxis, but stupid for us. when I got my iPhone at 2.30 am. there is no queue outside.
*
I share your empathy. I felt very terrible just by looking the long queue, they stand for so many hours. without food and drink.
some sit on the floor etc. just like what you said cattle. Maxis just want to maximize their Iphone launch impact. And unfortunately the public get to made a fool.
At the VIP lounge, there are getting free flow of beer, red wine, white wine finger foods etc. and got entertained with live band. take number then sit down drink and eat nice food till the number calls out.

Such a disparity. I walked out and saw the cattle line i really felt like shit cause i saw some children already sleeping on the floor.
