The excitement is building!
What's the status on people's 9.7" Smart Keyboards?
Keyboard is dispatched. Due to arrive Wednesday via UPS. My pencil is due to arrive Tuesday via UKMail.
Only care about the iPad though

Same here! Hopefully UPS sticks to that.OH! mine is showing as Dispatched!!!
But delivery is expected 4th Apr to 5th Apr
Ah - but when i click through to the UPS Tracking, it says Est delivery is 29th Mar![]()
Nice voucher to have! I'd imagine as they're advertising pre-launch for availability on 31st that you would get it that day. Not sure about in-store stock though... Definitely available in Apple stores on Thursday though!Quick question...I have a £500 voucher from Currys and hence I am tied up with them, err nice problem to have
On Curry's website it says 'availability 31/3, order now' and then 'not available for store collection'. Does anybody know what could be the ETA if I ordered one? Same day Thursday? And generally speaking, is the new iPad available in Apple stores on 31/3 or just for mail order? I am asking this because if it is also available in the Currys stores on Thu then it's easier to pick it up myself instead...Cheers
I ordered a smart case, pencil and Smart Keyboard - it says dispatched but it also says all three items will be merged before my carrier details are updated so I might have to wait until the 4th or 5th of April@illitrate23 and @Bentron: thanks both for quick reply. Currys don't have direct numbers anymore, will call the main switchboard later today as they are open...Cheers.
No mine is from the Apple store. I would imagine that Currys and other stores will also have stock on release dayJust called them. They said that they already have them in stock to ensure a Thursday delivery.
@Bazooka-joe: did you order the Smart Case for the new 9.7 Pro from Currys? They don't sell accessories yet as they will stock them after the iPad is available in their stores.
My friend told me her iPad is now dispatched. Anyone else here? Mine is still PFD.
My order has been all over the place. From processing to preparing for dispatch, then back to processing, then my payment method got refuse for 1/3 items. I ticked to have them all delivered together but they've been split up. So confusing. Maybe if I just stopped refreshing the status page I'd be happier
Confirmation mail at 7:06.
9.7 space grey - PFD (eta 31 Mar)
ASK - PFD (eta 4-5 Apr)
Pencil - Processing (eta 30 Mar)
This week is going to drag guys isn't it!![]()
The couriers only need a day to deliver, so we might not get the dispatch status update until wednesdayI ordered my 128gb Grey at 7:03am on 24th but still says preparing for shipment, annoying as I must have been one of the very first pre orders but some have already been dispatched!
I'm sorely tempted to pre-order the Rose Gold 32GB WiFi + LTE 9.7" version.
Having had a look around the best price I've found for my iPad Air 2 128GB W/C is £338 on Mrresell (via Mac World UK).
Would consider eBay but not mad on losing out on shipping/selling fees; anyone else recommend a site to look at?
The likes of Mazuma etc offer around £230 so know I could potentially earn more towards a newer iPad.
Cheers!
Have you tried CEX?

Would do my nut in if they offered me £200 (for example) and then sell it out for £400 ;-)
Anyway in the meantime I've gone and 'upgraded' to an iPad Pro... Ships between April 1/5

That should give you a rough estimate.
In the meantime I might give mResell a go- thanks for pointing it out!
