- T-Mobile had a special presale for the G1 with Google at its 3rd and Mission San Francisco store, selling the first Android phone 11 hours before it was available anywhere else.
- I'd estimate 60 to 70 people were lined up 90 minutes before the sale started.
- The crowd was somewhat organized.
- Welcome to today's economy, where crowds throng to buy electronics among boarded-up storefronts.
- The crowd was growing fast enough that T-Mobile added a second section to the line as I arrived.
- We cannot verify whether he was indeed the first to get it.
