Guys from the UK, lets go!
Here's some tools:
If you have Boxcar installed, add this service: http://notify.acudworth.co.uk and you'll get notified when pre-orders begin and go live.
Talking of pre-orders, we have an inkling that they'll begin at 08:00 AM, and here's how much you'll be paying:
16GB: £529.00
32GB: £599.00
64GB: £699.00
With regards to nano SIMs, 3 appear to be releasing them to those in the store and over the phone (the stores are a better bet). Other networks are quite messy and appear they will be releasing them on or around the launch of the iPhone 5 in the UK.
Hint: prepare yourself and try to use the Apple Store iPhone app, and remember to set your One Click/ Express Checkout options (both online and in the app [Settings->Account]).
Join us for the launch in realtime.

Note to Orange customers
anyone fancy joining me in a complaint to OFCOM reference Orange uks' dealing of this iphone launch?
Ive found there service and csr to be completely inept with regards to the differing information and lack of information regarding this launch. Even O2 are now starting to get things together.
if anyone is, could you please forward your experiences on jon.wealls@hotmail.com.
Could it be possible for the starter of this thread to also put this post as a sticky on the first page of this thread.
Regards
Jon
