iPhones from around the world
We asked for pics and you answered: iPhones from around the world, from countries where the iPhone isn't even sold with service. Canada makes sense, as a quick trip across the border will land you an iPhone. China also makes sense, as it wouldn't be Hong Kong without a gray market plethora of unlocked iPhones, would it? We got reports from almost every part of the globe, and put together a nice little gallery to show just how popular this gadget is -- service or not. Where there's a hack, there's a way...

What surprised me most was seeing the pics that showed many iPhones in boxes in the windows of some shops that are nowhere near an "Apple iPhone" country - Apple has a few questions to answer there considering their so called 'policy' of 5 per customer - Certainly explains where the 'missing' 500,000 are that the Financial Advisers have highlighted. :)
Perhaps Apple is trying an old marketing trick - "Lets run it up the flagpole and see how many salute" :)
They (Apple ) would be certainly getting some clear indications of what should be getting done
How do I upload my iphone photo to TUAW?
i'm from Kazakhstan.
Using iPhone since september, 2007 with KCell, KMobile and Beeline operators
I send you a lovely Picture of my iPhone in front of the swedish newspaper Göteborgs Posten and you didn't post it!
I never read the newspaper and only bought it for that picture, I am upset that you would tell users to send pictures and then limit the amount you put up? What your poor servers cant host 10.000 jpg files?
This is cool. I made a google map with all the iPhone locations round the world: http://www.apfelmobil.de/2008/01/04/wo-leben-all-die-iphones/

I don't think pic 82 is from Canada. We have no network called "Jaco". The only GSM networks are Rogers (pic 83 or 84) and Fido - used to be called Microcell (no pictures).
