The taglines are "Everyone should have it" and "Widescreen iPod with touch steering". I don't recall seeing anyone interested in one of these though. I'll be passing through the center of Szczecin today, wonder if I'll see any queues (real of fake ones). ;) Hmm, I remember Orange Poland hired some girls to give away leaflets advertising the iPhone 3G, I have one too.
