CarphoneWarehouse sales people were very reckless in Manchester Arndale, boasting that they're selling the phone before 6.02. Coming along the queue they were shouting: "We're selling the iPhone before the Apple store and they'll be taking ages with you. We'll be very quick, plus there's no queues there."
I've heard similar reports from London. I hope Apple give them a good seeing too. No doubt the official line is "it's a few rebels".
Haha you saw that idiot too? It says it all when I am prepared to queue for an hour over shopping in CPW
