Just got an email from CPW saying, my item is now in stock, 16GB Black iPhone, and will be dispatched shortly, so hopefully I'll be getting it on friday 
Thank you for ordering with Carphone Warehouse Online.
We are happy to tell you that stock of the item that you ordered has now arrived and we have processed your order. It will shortly be dispatched from our warehouse.
Edit: So will they already be activated or will we have then have to trudge to the nearest o2/CPW store?
I got the same e-mail
I've been on stage 2 since Monday and haven't got the mail yet.
Have all you people who have received these emails moved on to stage 3 yet on the order tracker?
Now im Worried,
I ordered the 16gb and my "dispatch" email now shows - 1x Free connection £159
No mention of my iphone....
Oh dear
