World iPhone 3G Launch
Polar Bear Farm Live Coverage
Polar Bear Farm ushered in the world’s first 3G iPhone from New Zealand.
Living at the bottom of the world does have its advantages at times. Fresh back from our adventures through Silicon Valley and Apple's WWDC, Polar Bear Farm embarked on yet another expedition.
Due to favourable time zones, New Zealand was the first in the world to see the iPhone 3G go on sale. Some people even flew from the other side of the world to be the first to get a glimpse of the new iPhone 3G.
We celebrated this by hosting a countdown event outside the Vodafone Stores in the 3 main New Zealand centres (Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in case you're wondering). We were giving away free iTunes gift vouchers, and one lucky person in the queue got their brand new 3G iPhone paid for by us!
