By Ben

While the new iPhone 3G went on sale in New Zealand, Australia and Japan over night, Auckland student Jonny, 22, had been first in line outside the Auckland store since Tuesday after being dared by friends who promised to pay for his phone if he lasted the distance in the queue. Greg Packer, aka iPhone Jonny completed his goal last night of becoming the first to get a retail-sold iPhone 3G.

“I’m going to go home, put this on charge, have a play with it and have a nice big sleep,” Gladwell told Television New Zealand after securing one of the first iPhones sold in the world.

iPhone Jonny documented his whole experience on his blog. Everything from the final hours, sleeping and even shaving are detailed. Its actually pretty interesting, check it out.

Well everyone, goodluck to all buying an iPhone today & especially to those who waited hours in line outside!! I hope all your efforts have paid off!

Crocodile Dundee Approves: Australia Set For Fastest 42mbps Capable 3G iPhone

By Mr. Mayor

Paul Hogan Approves of the new 3G iPhone Set for AustraliaHow’s that for a post title? Kind of long I know, but I couldn’t help myself.

A Telstra senior exec in Australia has revealed that would-be iPhone users in his country are soon to be lucky ducks. Australians will have access to the fastest 3G iPhone when it is released sometime this June. Better yet, the iPhone could even be up and running on a super-fast 42mbps network just in time for the Christmas season.

In an interview with Channel News Australia, the aforementioned Telstra exec commented:

“We know what is coming we have seen the new device and it will be available on our network as soon as it is launched in the USA. By Xmas this phone will be capable of 42mbps which will make it faster than a lot of broadband offerings and the fastest iPhone on any network in the world…”

Way to go aussies! Our friends down under must be pumped about the impending release.

The next few weeks are going to be very interesting, with the proverbial s*it to hit the fan, or in this case, the new 3G iPhone to be announced as early as June 9th at the WWDC.
