The was a healthy queue of people outside Apple’s Regent Street store in London this morning before the doors opened at 8.00am, along with a healthy number of journalists and camera crews. Mobile Computer was there and we spoke to the first person in the queue for the iPhone 3G.

We were expecting to hear that the #1 iPhone 3G fan had been there for at least 24 hours, but it turns out that he simply bought his place on eBay the night before for an “undisclosed sum” (but for less than the price of an iPhone 3G”, and turned up at 6.00am this morning to take his place.

The seller, apparently, intended to donate the auction proceeds to charity, so it was all for a good cause. Shame he didn’t hold out for more money, though… You can see our short interview with the first person in the iPhone 3G queue, along with footage of the 8.00am door opening, after the cut.

The Apple Store doors opened at 8.00am and customers were greeted with the traditional cheers from store staff. We estimate that there were around 200 or so people in the queue – not a huge number – but more customers did turn up throughout the morning.
