I've been reading the forums for quite a while, thought I'd register and make my initial post.
I was showing interest in the iPhone 4 prior to its release, and wasn't aware of these so called "priority lists". I had tried to pre-order online, but couldn't really wait those extra days for delivery.
When I finally phoned up the White City Apple store on the 25th (one day after the launch), I was then pointed out that I can put my name on the priority list, which I had done.
I can put my hands down and say that I've been waiting the longest for my phone. Since the 25th I've not received any further correspondence after receiving the first "We'll be in touch soon...." email.
Due to the fact that I've had to wait so long, on the 7th of July I decided to purchase from the Apple online store. Now I'm waiting to see which I'll receive first, in order to cancel the other(s).
I've put my name on the priority list at 3 different Apple stores throughout the UK.
See the attached screen shot from the 25th.

Note: I've contacted all the Apple stores I'm on the list with, who can still confirm that my name is on the list.
I can now say that the iPhone 4 is SCARCE in the UK. Especially the Apple stores. I do realise that other stores have it in stock, but I require it sim free.
**Rant over**
