preparing Thursday for a mad rush for the national release of the iPhone 5 early this morning (riday) The phone which will cost between $199 to $399 depending on its gigabytes was set to create another day of havoc for local phone outlets 1 is like our CJ Nasuta manager of the store in Bel Air said Thursday afternoon He expected people to start camping out by the store at Route 24 and Baltimore Pike Thursday evening and said the business has typically gotten between 50 and 100 customers for the iPhone launches The phone will be carried by Verizon and Sprint The last launch of the iPhone 4 version was in 2010 I have had people spending the night outside right about Nasuta said about 5:30 pm Thursday we do sell but of phones which I pretty much guarantee that will happen we will do pre Nasuta said he will go out to buy water bottles and granola bars for the iPhone enthusiasts to try to make them comfortable He will also give out coupons so everyone will know if they will actually be getting a phone that day Like most other retailers nationwide the Bel Air store will open at 8 am for the release two hours earlier than normal in the past years everybody is really excited because they are getting their new toy and 1 pretty much tell everybody in the morning how many phones we he said He was concerned however because he heard Apple already sold all of its pre orders in the first hour have our entire staff in tomorrow morning in at 7 am to prepare for the 8 am he said Nasuta said he would not know how many iPhones he would be getting until this morning but another phone distributor the Verizon store in the same shopping strip had an idea That small Verizon store would be getting 20 pre ordered phones today manager Mat thew Musser said Musser said he has received a lot of calls about the phone and planned to be in the store little today definitely expect a lot of he said about customers despite the pre ordered phones are getting right about 20 They give us a few extra based on how many pre Unlike other phones for the iPhone always a bigger Musser said think going to be a little bigger rush than the other releases because 4G LTE just
