really? wtf are they going to launch.. they don't even have a phone to fulfill my order from almost 30 days ago... launch deeznutz apple..
I started a new job just after the iPhone 5 launched. They promised me they'd order me one since they were issuing all new employees iPhones as standard practice anyway. (I said why order me a 4s when the 5 is just coming out?)
Well, still waiting with no shipping date from AT&T in sight.... Meanwhile, other co-workers are walking around with their 5's they got just by walking into a local Apple store early enough in the morning. It's really kind of insulting. I mean, why bother with a pre-order if they won't even fulfill them while they sell more new phones to people off the street in the meantime?
Hmm same time I am expecting my back/pre-order. Dont know if this is good, they are ramping up supplies and have plenty, or bad my order gets pushed because supplies are limited.
I agree. I am waiting and waiting for my pre-order through my company. It sucks that I have to wait while others I work with that are not on the company's plan have already received their iPhone 5.

Still waiting for the factory unlocked 5.
The levels of entitlement are depressing here. We have people from countries who get everything ahead of other places (The USA and my beloved UK being two) moaning that they should have their pre-orders before anyone else is even allowed to order the damn device. Why? What gives you the right to demand preferential treatment ahead of these apparent lesser nations?
Listen, this is very simple: when you pre-ordered your device you were told an estimated shipping window. It was your choice to pre-order. You went ahead. You have no right to say that others shouldn't be able to buy in other territories just because the shipping window you agreed to is still open.
Your shipping date was calculated with demand from other regions factored in. Therefore the iPhone 5 launching in other places has no effect on your order. So, please, stop moaning about a service that you agreed to and be happy that your brothers and sisters, fellow members of the human race, who just happen to have been born within a different set of imaginary lines on a map someplace (many of whom will have had a far harder life than you because of it) can now go and queue up for something you were free to queue up for weeks ago if you'd been bothered.
Apple doesn't owe you anything and... I'll say this slow because some people really need to hear it... YOU. ARE. NOT. SPECIAL.
You guys should be glad your company will pay for you to carry an iPhone 5 rather than complain that the folks who had to shell out their own money got their's first. I would be willing to wait if my employer would buy me one.
you know what man, i could care less if in the uk iphone 5 gets lunched at the same time as the US or India.....Apple is an american company, founded and operating in US......enough said...oh and yeah, You, are not special.
Of course. Your iPhone that was assembled by Chinese people, designed by a team led by an Englishman, including components and technologies invented and patented in Europe, Asia and North America built with rare Earth minerals mined in Africa, South America and Australia should absolutely only be sold only in the USA until all Americans have their devices... right. You realise what you sound like, right?
And, yes, I'm not special. I'm not the one claiming to be.
calm down man, you sure are doing a lot of bitching for somebody whose country got the iphone released from launch.....as far as the englishman, sir Jonathan is doing a fine job....
Sorry, who's bitching?
You seem to have reading comprehension problems. Either that or memory loss. I feel bad for you, kid. Have a nice day now.
Yes, we are.

Should also mention that this is Apple's home country. You, my friend, are using products that came from an American corporation. If you don't feel the country is special, I encourage you to stop using things that were created/innovated/designed in that, magical non-special country. Shove off.

I don't see the point of launching the device in more countries if they cannot even supply those already "launched".
Stores here in Portugal opened on day 1 with 3 to 4 phones per store and not even all stores of the same chain had the product.
I came to a store at opening time. There was no line. When the store opened, there was no phone to sell. It must be a joke.
I bought one online and the arrival time is 4 weeks. Still waiting for November 5 ETA.
What is the point of having more countries suffer this calvary?
The launch here in Portugal was a joke, as usual at every launch.
True. Most seem to think its **** already.. I cant believe im saying this lol..Nobody cares about the iPhone in India. Apple has lost the market share battle there a long time ago. Android and Blackberry own the Indian market. Its the truth.
