I visited Cambridge Apple store today and was told a big shipment is expected by the weekend and that the UK stores will be clearing their reservation lists like the US did last week, so hopefully a lot us will get our phones in the next couple of days.
 
Damn.... I guess that won't work then. My girlfriend is going to Chicago beginning of september. Guess I will have to convince her to bring one from overthere...

You can't buy sim free from the US Apple Stores like here in the UK, they only sell contract phones through AT&T so you are wasting your time there.
 
Just an update for you guys.

I reserved at the regent street store on the 6th and got an email to pick up on the 30th for both 32gb and 16gb. :)

Fingers crossed!
 
wait so they actually give you a time to go and collect it?

i work and therefore will not be able to go and get it until i finish, will they be ok with that?

i was told on the phone when i was put on the priority list that you can get it the 'next day' but he didnt say it was at a specific time

hope that you said is true and i will get my phone 4 this week:D
 
Just came back from Regent Store, the worker told that they have "lot of iPhones down stairs" and are just now sending emails, but he said that propably I wont get an email within two days (when I'm still in London) and I have been added to the priority list since 14th of July.

And there were two 50 meter lines for cashiers, btw.

Hey, if u dun mind, u can forward to me it is doesn't come on time :D

many thnxx
 
I will be in London for the weekend and if you guys have your name on the priority list of Regent Str. and wont be able to go this weekend, please post your reservation # to iogurer@yahoo.com. I really really want to have one;)
thanks in advance guys.
 
Reserved a black 32GB at the Regent St, London store on the 9th, received my "Your iPhone is waiting" email yesterday (the 29th).
 
Put my name on the waiting list at eldon sq, Newcastle last fri (23rd) got my email yesterday. Picked it up last night, amazing. Oh it was a 32gb.

Gah that's the same date and place I put my name down... but for the 16GB. :( Still waiting, but it's reassuring to know they're getting through the lists. Hope you're enjoying your new phone!
 
I'm going to post the opposite to many of the posts asking for spare reservations:

If you have a reservation for a 16GB at Milton Keynes and don't want it, please don't send it to anybody who doesn't have a very good reason to need it soon. On Monday I will have been waiting 4 weeks and while that's okay, I don't want to miss out on my place in the queue because someone else doesn't want to wait. I suspect I'm not the only one. :cool:

Haha. Let's do it this way: if you have an unneeded reservation for a 16GB at MK, please send it to Ish. Then, if you have a 2nd unneeded reservation, you can send it to me :D
 
In case this helps anyone:

Put on Regent Street priority list: July 19
Confirmation email received: July 19
Pick-up email just received: July 30 (12.11pm)

iPhone 4, 32GB.

Looks like Apple is clearing up the lists :)
 
Hi guys!

I just have a quick question regarding cases. Do the Retail Stores offer you a case when you pick up the phones, or do you have to use the stupid app? I don't want to buy from the store and then have to wait another few weeks for a case...

Any feedback greatly received!

Nope they will not offer a case.
