Yes, good one, but it could be 00:02 - "just after midnight"...

One of Oxford's many alter egos, Gene Jones, told the planet that "the
world's most advanced cell phone hits the shores (sic) on Friday at
6:02pm within these first 2 countries." [Germany and the UK].

So unless Oxford comes up with a URL I'll assume the Cologne tale is
just that, a work of fiction, and he forgot the launch was at 6.02pm.
