edxter 5 hours 5 min ago ¶
if you pick it up today it's yours for $450!
this guy up above said it is selling for $450..
Thoses prices are not cheap u quoted.
I can get it for $530..
In any case, he's vanished, and it may be worth pointing out that Vodafail has a 12 month plan for $29 + $30, works out to $708 minimum, but minus $450 off that, and divide by 12, you get $21.50 a month for a plan that's meant to be $29 a month.
I know, time value of money, discount all monthly payments by 1.06^something, blah blah blah, financey crap etc, but the difference is a couple of dollars.

same article as mentioned above.
but i just want to blatantly slag off the apple fanboys in the comments section who say something along the lines of "samsung is poor and crappy, their phone is now only worth 2$ ???"
absolute idiots who probably didn't read the article or read it but couldn't understand all the words. or are just iTools
Oh, come on. They're obviously joking.
It really didn't seem like it to me !
so many ppl there today, made me sad
Guys, this is what you all have been waiting for.

This is going to be the most liked post on OzB ever
Geesh, some of us need to go on Beauty N' the Geeks I reckon. Lol =P
I tried, they turned me down. The way I see it, I'm not 'geeky' enough, so my social skills are probably just below-par.
On the other hand, tough luck to all the girls who tried and didn't make it - Channel 7's basically said that they're not beautiful enough.
then they wonder why so many girls have self esteme issues, guys told not geeky, girls told not pretty… nice…real nice.
i heard that one of the guys on the show is actually an actor,so just take it with a huge grain of salt as it's all just entertainment anyway. the REAL geeks are still plugging away at their computers
@Cheng that might be but all ANU Computer science students actually got an email from the admin telling that B&TG had emailed them for contestants.
I don't know if anyone applied or got in, but sounds like this happened in every major Comp Sci department
they sent it to our science department to… one guy in the show is from our department, ahahahah
How many people there now? I'm guessing there should be no more than 10.
As a woman can i just say, you guys are creeps!!! :P
"When the topic of school this week was brought up, Wil, who is in Year 10 at Marist North Shore, was noticeably coy, leaving one of his friends to reply: "school doesn't exist this week"."
I will be so happy if he get suspended.
Pretty sure now that it's all over the news the school will be aware lol. Up to them how to deal with these kids now.
Wouldn't be surprised if they are commended and praised. Knowing any negative things done could be 'harmful' for their future bull crap.
So, who's going to ring the school?

Samsung should give out bright coloured Galaxy S2 t-shirts or perhaps jackets to those queuing and ask them to wear it to get the maximum exposure… It would then be a real bargain indeed. Free shirt and $2 phone.
Samsung line is gone :)

and the kids (+ Beau) being interviewed by Channel 9

but there are lots of sleeping bags chairs etc on the floor ? they must be there right>? if not tonight i will camp there ! can someone confirm if no spot left for tomorow?
Where on earth did they all go?
In the tent with the Kims?
some samsung "pop up" sexy time going on?
cos its 2 bucks
Hi everyone, could we get an update on the queue size?
So…any Ozb'er received one yet?
If I recall correctly 90% of the line are ozbargainers!
Should it be 96%?
yep, got one this morning!
@wiggle: U planning to use it or sell it?
using it :)
…and also how long did you have to wait?
too long! (2 days, 3 nights)
woah!!!
definitely worth it though
you got one and u didn't +1 the deal?
you got one and u didn't +1 the deal?
more like 98 XD
I can understand waiting overnight… but waiting more than a day is nuts. If you have a job that pays reasonably well, say $200 a day, then that's $400 in lost salary! Try explaining sick leave when you end up on Channel 9 news lol.
Having said that if you're a uni bum then go for it!
I dont even think anyone that earns $100 a day will bother. We're talking about 48 straight hours on the streets. not 8 hour days sitting in a comfortably air-conditioned/heated office.
I think it's worth it. $200 compared to an $600 phone.
I'd prefer not to be working and sitting out with my friends mucking around. Sure it'll be boring, but who cares?
I was considering catching a plane down to syd for $100. I would've done it but wasn't sure on the queue,
I wished i could have outsourced this. wouldn't have worked.
they are dedicated bargin hunters :p
Oh man, this thread has gone way off topic. I see new comment notification and check only to find another Apple vs Android comment.
Apple lovers will love Apple and Android lovers will love Android. Please stop comparing your pen 15's, put them back in your pants and someone please comment on the pertinent issues of:
The Samsung Q is full man for those wants to know. The iPhone Q is around 50 - almost reaching York St.
get a 2 dollar s2 and a ip4s :P then compare
Lawrence from Canley Vale is the 50th lucky person :)
Jessica, Joseph, Jason, two Chineseare some of the guys lol
Lawrence picked up from a drop out and only waited for 10 hours :)
Good man! At least someone's posting on point here. Thanks for the updates, are you waiting in line?
how long the 50th people wait before that person drop out?
3 days probably lol
Wow, to drop out so close to getting the phone. I don't understand! Must have been an emergency.
That Lawrence guy must have used the laxative trick some people posted on here on the 50th person… :O
Congratulations to the 50 people who picked up a unit especially the 10 from this morning as that was some wait. I read above that there was a dropout, sucks to be that person, they are the Stuart Sutcliffe of the Pop Up Shop queue.
FINALLY. the saga ends.. i dont have to bookmark this page and keep refreshing it 50x a day.
i should go back to work now LOL.
im afraid this post didnt reach 1000 :/
it is a good read after all! Excellent post.
....and they lived happily ever after
THE END
wonder if any of this story ever goes onto current affair show at all?
For anyone who is interested and has a keen eye: I just grabbed an Australian model with Samsung warranty for under $500 on eBay.
nice!! s2?
No way could he find a good deal like this. Otherwise he must buy one via auction or it's not a brand new one.
At that time there was no such deal though… I'm wondering how much they are selling it in HK? Round 400 bucks?
Not sure, probably about right. Maybe cheaper.
How can I post my deals like you?
