Beautiful. A perfectionist might point out that there are six strings on one side of the phone and only two on the other, but I wouldn't do that.

Hilarious! And the string unbalance is the reason that it's tilted.

I knew someone would pick the difference in strings. I was too excited to get the picture posted I guess. Oh Well.

How I wish this was created last Monday for when O2 (UK) failed because of iPhone pre-order demand. It would have perfectly illustrated my article about the situation.

Interesting, if not compelling. Got to have something as a magnet for the negative. My experience was quick and seamless. BTW, your phone is a pre-release original model, clearly.

Here's my adapted version after trying to update my iPod Touch.

iPod Touch 2.0 firmware + iTunes Store = FailPhone... uh, FailPod?

I showed this to one of the Apple Store workers who was going up and down the barely (at that time) moving line.

He didn't seem amused, but the people next to me in line enjoyed it.

Though once I finally got the phone (after seven hours), it did work right away when I connected it to iTunes at home.
