I have the new iPhone 4s!

Wow! Today was such a surreal experience! I had been up over 24 hours and didn’t sleep a wink last night in the line. By around 6pm we were all ready and couldn’t wait for the new iPhone 4S to go on sale!

As 8am approached the adrenaline kicked in and this gave me a huge energy rush!

To keep awake I knocked back a load of Boost Energy Drink!

I did an interview for ITV and there were scores of photographers before given a countdown for me to enter the Apple Store first!

There seemed like hundreds of Apple staff cheering and waving as I ran in and purchased the first iPhone 4s followed closely behind by Duncan who was number 2.

So many Apple staff shook my hand and it was such a surreal experience! I left the Apple Store a couple of minutes later and was greeted by a large amount of photographers and journalists who were all wanting to do interviews!

Emma from my lifestyle PA greeted me and was looking after my equipment which was brilliant!

I saw a couple of homeless people I’d spoken to and gave away some of my camping gear! It was pretty rushed to be honest!

I felt like a mini celebrity and my head was buzzing!

I think exhaustion then kicked in and Emma then helped me to the station before jumping on a train back to Coventry.

I had a huge sense of relief and achievement that I’d done it a d survived 10 days camping outside the Apple Store for 10 nights!

I nearly fell asleep on the train and was seriously trying to keep my eyes open and arrived back in Coventry this morning!

I opened my front door and collapsed on my sofa and have only just woken up now! I think it’s going to take a few days to get my sleeping pattern back to normal.

I just want to say it’s been an amazingly tough, brilliant experience that I will remember for life!

I’m just checking out my new iPhone 4s and will give you a review tomorrow!

My bed is now calling and I’m about to go and have a refreshing bath!

Finally my girlfriend has just told me about a parcel that arrived for me after I’d already left to go down to London from a soldier from Afghanistan named Martin who had sent me a shoe box full of supplies including muesli, water from camp bastion and tea and coffee making facilities.

It’s been amazing! I’m now going to take a few days off but don’t worry my blog posts will continue with posts reflecting on my experience and some of the things I didn’t have time to mention whilst I was in line! And there may be some new challenges and experiments lined up!

Oh and I have a holiday in Dubai to look forward to given to me by DirectFlights.com

Oh and if anyone had any pictures of me on launch day please email them to rob@medlmobile.com

And a massive thanks to MEDL Mobile who allowed me to embark and undertake a huge experiment like this!

Best,
