just got a text from 02

Hee-hee, well if it had been me, my face would have just dropped!

Someone else has just said they have one on a O2 thread - https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/508811/

Also received mine a few minutes back…

As promised we are writing to keep you updated on the next steps to gettng iPhone 3G.
…
We will be writing to you again before the 11th with details about how to place your order…

We expect high demand… so orders will be processed on a first come first served basis so that we can be fair to all our customers. Orders will be limited to one iPhone 3G per customer.
…
etc.

so do they know what happening and are leaving us hanging on or do they not have a clue and trying to fob us off with a text that basically tells us nothing

As there are a few other threads about people getting advice from O2 (e.g. arranging a simplicity contract and upgrading on the 11th to an iPhone) about this, I'm guessing they do... they just don't want us to know!

Got the same text thought wohoo here we go best get down to O2 and spend.
But as said the text tells you nothing then my phone rang with a number that i do not know and initial thoughts were it's O2 saying i have the golden ticket like in Willy Wonker but it was somebody trying to sell insurance.
so the wait continues.

still nothing for me!

Where's my text O2? Feeling left out of this exclusive little club...

So they're getting back to you about getting back?

Not missed much now but not so good if the texts are sent in the same batches when the order lines open.

just got it!

Got mine too

Got mine at 14.46

What a pointless text!! Oh well 10 more days to go

Got mine too. Well, is that what we've been waiting until 'early July' for Still, I'm hoping that I can still get mine on launch day or thereabouts...

I just phoned O2 and pretended I didn't know what the text was about and that I deleted it by mistake. He told me what the text was and I couldn't get much more info out of him.

He did say that, as an existing iPhone customer I could go into a store on the 11th and get one. I asked him and got him to confirm a few times and he said I definitely could do that.

The "first come, first served" bit has got me a bit panicky now that I might not be able to get one if there are long queues
