In the bullring queue right now, fairly short. Some dick with an iPad 1 out though.
Some dick with a Macbook Air too... oh that'll be me.
God I'm bored.
Got a tip for us?

God I'm bored.Did some chasing in my lunchbreak. Went to PCWorld/Currys Chesterfield - they don't have any of the one I want, in fact the only 3G ones they have are 6 black 64Gb. Other models they have are 3 each of white 16, 32 and 64Gb. No queue or anything though, and not expecting it, so ideal if you want one of those!
Then called Comet in Drakehouse, Sheffield - they have hardly any, again none of the one I want, or any other 3G ones (only 1 per store for display), and just a couple wi-fi ones. I did get the code for the white 32Gb 3G though if any use to anyone - 712469.
Comet also checked all other surrounding stores - only ones with any 3G ones to sell in Yorkshire/Derbyshire region is a branch in York
They do, however, have plenty in their warehouse - just not had time to get them out to stores yet

Oh great... Keep us updated buddy, pretty please! No chance of me getting there before 3.30/4ish, but might not bother if looks like there'll be none left. Actually got a genius appointment for 9am tomorrow for something else, suppose there's a chance they'll have some more tomorrow...
Haven't seen any posts for Cheltenham yet but if anyone's planning on queuing at Western Computers there's a queue forming... Only about 10 so far.
wow. gives me hope of just being able to walk into Regent Street today @ 6 and getting one.
Guess I may have to head down a little earlier than planned! There is a west quay thread in the meetups section, and people would be v.appreciative if you could update us there at some point?
I slept through an automated anti-fraud call this morning. Phoned them up to discover that Apple had attempted a total of five transactions last nightI confirmed that they were all legitimate and was advised to attempt the transaction again. The one-click order placed at 12:46am is still there and waiting to be paid. Hopefully, they will try once more before rejecting the order altogether. Not sure what it would mean for my place in the virtual queue though.
About the shipping estimatesthey are indeed estimates, and everyone seems to get a generic such at this moment. The free iPhone 4 bumpers had the same 2-3 weeks estimate, but were shipped within a few days if you ordered early.
I'm sorry, since when can you not sit down. Tell them to do one!
Looks like Bullring staff are doing the same... I think.
The Trafford queue is filling fast. 10 joined since i got here 5 minutes ago.
There is a full circuit of a rectangle section in Trafford. You'll know what i mean if you've been there...im at the front of the second rectangle in a grey hoodie. Gimme a wave if you go past

Apple online ordering woes
I tried to purchase at 1:00 this morning and the store kept erroring at different places. I gave up at 1:30 and this morning I tried again but my CC had been blocked. Got a call from my CC bank and they said they had blocked my card due to fraudulent activity. They won't unblock and won't discuss any further! Great - now I don't have a credit card for about a week. Tried purchasing via bank transfer and when I try to access my order the Apple store times out.
The worst Apple experience of my life - no ease of use there. I won't be buying anything on the day it comes out again.

The only ones they have from my point in the line is the 16 White, I know the guy a few was after a 64 but other than that I don't know.

Are you at Castle Marina PCW? If so, I think I may have just seen you as I just popped in and spoke to some of you (asking how many they had in stock and one of you told me 60-70).
Do you know if they are handing tickets out?
