iPhone 5 announcement on 10/4 - where to buy near campus?

<p>It would count as evidence to those who know anything about sociology and group dynamics. Here is a sample article:</p>

<p>The GSMA (GSM association, which represents mobile phone operators around the world) brokered a standard between Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sony-Ericcson, NEC, Motorola, and Apple* that all phones use MicroUSB as the charging standard, at least in the EU. In reality, most of these companies also applied the “standard” worldwide. However, although Apple agreed to the standard, they backed out and never implemented it!</p>

<p>If you go to any mobile phone store and take a look at all their offerings that were released within the past 2yr, you’ll notice that the only phones that do not use a MicroUSB charger are iPhones! Go figure.</p>

<p>The OP asked about where to get an iphone, not android vs. iphone. If you’re gonna write about iOS hatred, go make your own thread.</p>

<p>4 ways to get your iphone:

  1. Apple Online Store
  2. Apple Retail Store - 4th Street or Bay Street
  3. Verizon Wireless Store - next to Berkeley BART
  4. AT&T Wireless Store - also next to Berkeley BART</p>

<p>If you’re wondering about the crowd on the first day of sale, I had to go at 6 am back in 2009 when the first Droid came out from Verizon and I was almost first in line.</p>

<p>Better off ordering online unless you have too much time on your hands but buying it from an AT&T store or Verizon store (if it releases on the same day) might be a better choice if you need it right away. They might get less attention, thus less of a line. </p>

<p>I know that there wasn’t much of a line at the Walnut Creek Apple store when the iPhone 4 came out (buddy of mine was there @5, 1st in line) but that’s a little far for most people.</p>

<p>iOS v. Android = Champagne problems. To each their own.</p>
