Where are you from? Cape Town, South Africa. We are here on vacation. This is the sixth day of our trip. We leave tomorrow. I was lying in bed at the hotel and saw this on the news and decided to come down.

Why buy an iPhone? A friend has one and when I looked at gadgets I wanted, I thought this was the best.

What's the first thing you'll do when you get your iPhone? Try it out. Especially the applications.

How long will you wait? I'll wait the whole day.
