@Dominic Williams: If you don't need it on launch day then don't go on launch day... world isn't perfect.

@Yousty: It will most likely not "show up" for at least another few weeks, not hours.

@JabbaB: What the hell are you talking about? Are you some sort of Bible-thumping nutjob I pass on the street on weekends? This is a bad natural disaster — no doubt about it.

@zachff: edit: about $80 less

Great idea/cause, but for a perfect condition 32GB 3GS w/all cables the offer price is $50 less than Radio Shack's trade in offer.

F off, MLB Advanced Media.

I bought a 3G in Jan 2009, then a 3GS in July 2009 (for the early upgrade price).

Hey. Hey Kobe. You ever hear that song I did for the Space Jam soundtrack with Barry White called "Basketball Jones?"

@foodmetaphors: 17 is definitely the best

@EarlNowak: Thank you!

Honestly, I thought this was my friend A. Best part was when I forwarded this to him, A's initial thought was "Oh shit, that might be me too."

I work for an airline and can tell you this is pretty much prohibited, but there is nothing we can do one way trips. However, if we catch you doing this repeatedly (frequent fliers, I'm looking at you) things can end poorly for the customer.
