Apparently life in New Zealand must be really tough, with all those orcs, goblins, and trolls trying to cut your head off, and steal your powerful jewelry. That's what it seems from listening to this radio interview with the man who may be the first guy on Earth to buy an iPhone 3G: according to him, the whole getting an iPhone 3G thing is a result of a bet with his friends about surviving for three days in the streets of Auckland with no more help than the Yellow Pages. Hint for other iPhone 3G campers around the world: call a Chinese masseuse and ask for the special. [Thanks Brett — I'm not joking, the name of the tipster is Brett]
