I never expect myself to be caught in any new gadget launching midnight rush fiesta but hey everyone got their first time. It's all started with one of our colleagues yelling and shouting about the HTC Touch2 65 unit 65% discount launching event hosted at Sunway Pyramid, 9-October to 11-October-2009 on first come first serve basis. I thought it would be fun for most of our R&D personnels to hang out together late at night since he proposed that we go there around 2AM queuing up. 10-October 2AM, what the hell.. Could I end up being robbed by some hooligans? Well, I actually reached there around 2:20AM and spent like 15 mins to find the place to queue, and and I gotten myself a "virtual" number of 48, which I counted myself. Then after 30 mins, I count again and this time 53. Well well, looks like many of the queue cutters are on the move. Luckily I'm surrounded by smart fellas, literally. The guys in front of me were supplying the paper and pen and the fella right behind me was spending some efforts to make sure people who spends hours to queue got a queue number in the list. The physical number which had my name craved is #56. Wow, imagine what will be my number when it is 10am later. Anyway, I only to get my hand on the phone around 3:30PM in the afternoon, phew. that's a 13 hours effort for a RM560 Touch2 phone :D
Some hiccups during my queuing experience:
Around 5 or 6AM (Sorry, I really lost my sense of time), a family of 3, an uncle, auntie and their son I guessed making noises until almost 9AM. Wow, very persistent.
I don't really get what's the point they try to make, think it'something to do with why their name was not in the list blah blah... They retreated under the ambience of Booooo-ness of course.
Then around 10AM to 11AM, another family of auntie and her daugthers I think making some complaints like "In the flyer, it stated from 10AM, I don't care whether others queuing from what time, when I reached at 10AM I deserve one unit from the 65"... Bang Head... Joke of the Day.
My first time, turned out to be a very inspiring lesson to me.. When a person gets old and retired from work.. they really have time for non sense.
Phew!

Is the the phone worthy after all the time and effort?
LOLX, not really worth it if you don't need a new phone at the moment. I happened needing one that time.
Not a bad phone at all, I've started to love it.
