I’m about to geek out.
So unless you live in a cave, you know the iPhone 3G is coming out this Friday at 8:00 AM. I’ve been waiting for this moment for over a year <– super geek out moment! Who knows how many wasted hours of my life I’ve spent reading details regarding articles regarding this 3G version of the iPhone (disclaimer: I am NOT a Apple fanboy). All I know, is it’s finally here. I’ve patiently waited to purchase the iPhone (I currently have a Motorola Q) since my life revolves around Outlook and it’s sync to my calendar and email. I must have it. I literally schedule everything on my calendar. Really super important things like:
- Do your laundry
- Play golf
- Client meetings
- Buy groceries cause nothing is in the fridge
- Call your mom
That being said, if you’re here in Kansas City, you’ll likely see me camping out at one of the local stores late on Thursday night. While I really don’t think there will be a shortage of supply, I’ll be the first to admit, the experience of “camping out” for a launch is half the fun. I’ve camped out for other geeky things like the Wii, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Hannah Montana tickets (OK, maybe not the last one).
The other thing that’s interesting about “camp outs” is the type of people you meet. It’s literally it’s own sub-culture of people who do this. Think about it. To be dedicated and passionate enough to camp out overnight? It’s completely idiotic and wonderful in every respect. I can’t wait!

I’m jealous, and wishing my wife didn’t work for Sprint!
Kendall — that’s unfortunate. I’ve got a couple friends who are in the same boat like you. Frankly nothing comes close the iPhone on Sprint. I’ve seen the instinct… it’s close but it’s just not the same.
Ramsey- If you want sit around the campfire and tell stories, I’ll be camping out as well.
Ramsey for some reason your facebook status updates have really caught my attention in the last 24 hours. Anyway, I’ve had the first gen iPhone for about 9 months now (and love it) and would be upgrading as well if the 3G coverage were better, but given that it doesn’t extend to Lawrence and I’ll be stuck here for two more years (I’m in law school now) I just don’t think it’s worth it for me. I realize that this probably won’t affect you much, given that you’re living in KC, but don’t be disappointed when you drive out of the city limits and you have to settle for Edge (which is less than impressive). Also, I dig ramseymohson.com… Nice work!
