Description
English: This photo was taken one week after the release of the 3G iPhone, in the window of some cell phone shop in Basel. I thought I had read that the iPhone wasn't quite the same kind of hit in Europe, but if so, you wouldn't know it from this store. The sign basically says, We don't have any more iPhones, and if you are on the list, don't call us, we'll call you. "Noch etwas Geduld" is translated by Google Translate as "Slightly more patience." Which is awesome. I feel the pain of the people on that list, though. My laptop died on me not long before this trip and I was in a panic at the idea of being overseas with only such internet access as is offered by my going-on-three-year-old Cingular 2125, in all its Windows Mobile glory. The night before leaving for Europe, I pulled an all-nighter featuring a lot of quality time on the phone with paid tech support, trying to get my laptop travel-ready. Dawn came and I had to admit defeat. It was then that I had the bright idea to buy an iPhone. And I tried, I really did, I swear I did. But no one had one for me. Slightly more patience, indeed.
Deutsch: Sorry. Alle unsere iPhones sind ausverkauft! Wir freuen uns Ihnen das Gerät zeigen zu dürfen. Gerne nehmen wir Reservationen entgegennehmen und benachrichtigen Sie, wenn Ihr Gerät eingetroffen ist. Noch etwas Geduld.
