I didn't buy a new iPhone before leaving for the trip because I was a bit too busy to wait on line on opening day. The only thing that really appealed to me was the new GPS feature, but I figured I might buy a phone along the way, once the initial demand had been met. Now that I've been on the road awhile, I've found plenty of use for GPS, so I've been keeping my eyes open for opportunities to buy the phone.
Except that there are none.
Sand Point, Idaho has a Verizon dealer. But the closest place to buy an iPhone is in Spokane, WA, 75 miles away. Nor will I find an iPhone in Missoula, MT (pop roughly 60,000) -
or anywhere in Montana, for that matter.
So where is Steve selling all his ten million phones, is what I want to know? How do people outside major cities get their iPhones? I mean, c'mon, by the
mail?
