It 's the big day for all lovers of technology in Italy, ready to brave long lines just to grab the iPhone 5, the new smartphone from Apple.
A phenomenon that is splashed on the Twitter hashtag #iPhone5 between the trend topic. Irony, jokes but also references to 'serious' crisis looming (I personally feel ashamed, I'm unemployed and I demand that smartphone?).
Among other things, here in Italy, the selling price of the 'precious' Apple smartphone is among the highest applied all over Europe: € 729 for the base model up to € 949!
Ironically, there are also those who warned: "Before you buy iPhone5 remember to pay the last installments of iPhone4." Who is "terrified" who is able to sleep away from home for an iPhone5. But do not panic, one writes: "The iPhone is the opium of the people 2.0". And, finally, who points out: "If Silvio Berlusconi promised a million iPhone5 instead of jobs, we would end up he like the Prime Minister again"!
Those of you who already owns or has idea to buy iPhone5?

Well, dear friend, I'm sure you're so excited by arrival of the iPhone5, which would not surprise me at all to see you queuing to get one already now.
You also know I would love to have the "applephone" new make me happy (even though I do not know exactly how long), but I have to give up, there is little to do, I have no money I can afford to, even direct purchase by the U.S. that besides all, I would pay a price considerably lower than here in Italy.

Well, my dearest. IPhone5 will obviously all over the world. As for time, I can not tell exactly how much you will have to wait to be able to possess.
However, given the explosion of the phenomenon that is literally making people crazy, I think then, the day will come also in the Philippines, should not be far away!
