article published on 21 August, 2008

Anticipating the release of Apple Inc.'s multimedia / touch-screen iPhone in the country, the largest mobile phone operator in Poland is paying dozens of actors to stand in queues in order to get consumers attention.

Make it's debut? They are in for a shock.. that's where we export the blocked ones at about 25% of the price apple want for them. Unlocked and broken with apps installed.. nuff said.. Poland is a good market for blocked UK phones.

The articles states, "While around 1 million iPhones were sold over its weekend launch in the United States back in July, customers in Poland seem a lot less reluctant to buy into the high monthly charges that they will also get."

Funny it seems that actors there and here in the US will do just about anything for money! Maybe they should pay the customers instead or better yet drop the price per month on the service.

Whats that quote from Hamlet? Or is it Macbeth? "Away, and mock the time with fairest show, false face must hide what the false heart doth know".
