Is anyone else in the UK on a priority list and got to pick up a phone?
Iv been on the Westfield (White City) list for a week now and still no e-mail :( has anyone else had any success with stores in the UK if so which stores?
 
I'm on the waiting list for the Brent Cross Apple Store but they told me it would probably be about 3 weeks before I heard from them...
 
Will be 2 weeks this Tuesday at the Milton Keynes store. At this rate, I'll get the online orders, due the 18th, first.
 
I got on the Regent Street priority list on the 25th June, the day after launch, but haven't heard anything yet.

You got to know more than me. When did you go in? I was there this morning and my name was put on the list. The person I spoke to didn't know when there'd be any in.

Unless of course I'm too late for your batch and on the list for a later delivery! :(

Not to worry - maybe they'll all be perfect by then! :rolleyes:
 
how does the situation in manchester look like?
got on the list on july 3rd and I'm on vacation between july 9th and 23th
afterwards it would be too late for me :(
 
I reserved an iPhone 4 on Thursday 24th June (launch day) and received an e-mail the next day from Apple Store Brent Cross saying;

Thank you for reserving an iPhone with us.

Your iPhone is now in and will be held until close of business Saturday 26th June. Brent Cross closes at 7pm on Saturday.

Please bring this email in with you when you come to the Brent Cross store.

Kind regards,

Apple Brent Cross

Turned up, gave them my name and they pulled me up on the system and sold me an iPhone 4 :)

I also reserved one at Westfield and Regents Street on launch day, but have not received an e-mail from those stores at all. Looks like everywhere is totally sold out.

Going to check out the Birmingham store later, will let you know.

Reserved in Arndale center store on 26th, got confirmation email but no further story :(
Unless they have a large batch of delivery near 14th like the web order I would say things do not look too good for you
 
ive been on the lakeside priority list now for 2 weeks....getting impatiant lol
so i ordered 1 on the apple online store aswell c what 1 comes first
 
Put my name down in the Birmingham apple shop on the 30th June , had my confirmation e-mail but nothing else :(
 
Day 14 @ White City
Day 10 @ Milton Keynes

Nothing from either of them so far.

Have really had enough of waiting.

brother i am also on the priority list since the 28th and have not gotten any reply from them, lemme know when you recieve yours.

I phoned them up last night. 30 minutes to be told that they have no stock and that it will probably be 3 weeks still!!!

He amended that to 2-3 weeks but maintained that this way would be the fastest way to get one.

Not happy. It almost makes me want to go get a contract.

(not gonna happen BTW)

Keep strong bro!
 
Look's like there is success with the Kingston store.

My buddy got on to the Priority list on 30th June, last Wednesday, and his phone is ready to be picked up today.

I did not get on the list till the Friday, so I am hoping to get the phone by Tuesday/Thursday.

Staff in the shop are giving an eta of "about a week".
 
on the regent street list since 2nd july no luck..i am leaving london on 17th hope i get it before that.
 
Just got on the priority list yesterday but i'm not sure if i'll be able to catch it before i leave UK on 25th July. Asked a staff at Regent St store and was told that it takes 3-4 weeks to get it.
Weird thing is, when i asked them about white ones, they said I still have no luck to get one before i leave. Does that mean they'll be out after 25th?
 
I've been on the Liverpool ONE Priority list since lunchtime 24th June, haven't heard anything yet.

Did you manage to pick yours up the other day?

I did, on Thursday. Out of the store in 12 mins. I would phone and check as talking face to face in store did nothing.

Post if you mange to get one.
 
Day 18 White City (added to list 25/6)
Day 13 Milton Keynes (29/6)

Still no 'come and get it' email but both stores confirmed I was still on the list and were 'optimistic' that I could have my hands on my iPhone (32GB) this week!

Hope this helps any others who are going mad with frustration!
 
I think I have a problem.
I used my AppleID from Australia in the Regent St Retail Apple store, to reserve my 32gb. there's nothing waiting on my account when i log in? Should there be?

Do I need a UK address on my account or something? Should I see my reservation on the account and if so, where?
 
Leicester Highcross

Day 5 for me.

Duznt look good. I'm getting married on the 24th and would have ordered online only want the iphone4 on contract with three which means I have to wait to get instore.

Hmmm it seems like there is just a chronic shortage of iPhones ATM. If nothing happens next few days I may just order online and get a sim separately from three.
