| 699364 | 2008-08-22 09:46:00 | While we've heard stories of people paying others to line up outside Apple stores to buy the latest iPhone, here's a story where the mobile carrier is paying actors to pretend to be lining up, all in the name of marketing. www.stuff.co.nz |

| 699367 | 2008-08-22 10:53:00 | Maybe Orange think that no one will buy them in Poland unless they see people lining up outside the store prior to them going on sale - which would be a first. Wierd form of marketing :confused: | snafu (14042) | ||
| 699368 | 2008-08-22 11:08:00 | Meh....they done it in NZ, The "first" person in line and subsequently first person in NZ to "buy" an iPhone was a paid to do it, and didn't get to keep the iphone he was paid to buy. | Metla (12) | ||
| 699369 | 2008-08-22 11:16:00 | Maybe Orange thinks that the Pols would prefer Windows Mobile instead of the iPhone.... who knows... Edit: My Polish is crap but here are the prices for regular peoples www.orange.pl and for business persons www.orange.pl 1 Polish zloty = ~ 0.455 U.S. dollars (as for 2008-08-21) Something tells me they ain't cheap. |

Yellowpages paid people in NZ for exactly the same thing. I see they are now dropping the price of their iphone plans, as they didn't get too many people signing up at the old prices. |
