The first two people in line at the Danbury, CT store are 28 year-old Giovanni Scaringi and 22 year-old Oren Krinsky. Giovanni, who is from Orange County New York, but who is a graduate student in Bridgeport, CT, arrived at the store at around 5:00 am this morning determined to be the first person in the iPhone line.
“I’ve actually been up for about 72 hours,” he said. “not because of the iPhone, but because I had to study for a test. I just wasn’t going to let sleeplessness deter me from being the first in line.”
Krinsky, who arrived about two hours later than Scaringi and still got the number two spot in line, made a pact with each other to make sure that no one took the other’s spot when they had to head our for bathroom and food breaks.
When asked how many iPhones they’d be purchasing both Scaringi and Krinsky stated that they were only getting one. “I want it for personal use and I paid a $200 fee to Nextel about three weeks ago in order to get out of my contract.” Scaringi said. He also stated that he wasn’t concerned about the quality of the AT&T network in the area.
Doors just opened and we’ve gotten word that 30 people are going to be let into the store at a time and that there will be two different lines. One for express buyers and another for those who want to cop an iPhone feel before they buy.
