iPhone SE orders UK!

Possibly. Can only ever recall seeing the disclaimer attached to SIM Free iPhone stock.
Three have never locked devices since January 2014 and the unlock them for free as posted previously.
Also mentioned: GiffGaff. They don't lock phones to the first SIM either. Think that's who I'll looking at when my Vodafone minimum term ends later on in the year.
I bought a Samsung S6 and Nexus 6 from Carphone Warehouse last August and used them both on EE and and my gf used the S6 on Three, sold both as unlocked to CEX who check phones before they buy them..
Apple aren't offering trade in yet on the 6s.
And I'm not really prepared to take a £200 hit on the 6s so soon after paying £619 for it, especially when that means I'd have to put money towards an SE (as great a phone as it is, it's still a downgrade from the 6s and I'm not prepared to shell out money to downgrade my phone).
I had hoped I'd be able to sell it for roughly the cost of the 64gb SE. I'm surprised they've depreciated so much (I sold my 16gb 5 for £150 surely the 6s should be worth more than £400).
So looks like I'm stuck with the 6s till I next upgrade.

I don't have an account there but they're going for the same on HUKD and several phone recycling places. So basically a £190 loss.
I'm not really prepared to take such a big loss. I wouldn't mind if I'd had the phone a while but I haven't so £190 loss is a bit steep for me right now.
I bought an iPhone 6 last September for £539, sold it last month for £300 to get the SE. Thats a £239 loss for me, oh well...
Good for you. Not everyone can afford to lose £200 so easily. Nor is everyone willing to.

I don't hate the 6s. I enjoy everything about it but it's a bit too big.
Anyway. I don't want to derail the thread that's about everyone enjoying their new SE.
Got my gold 64gb SE yesterday. Unhappy with the loose sleep/power button that rattles and also the volume down key feels loose. Might ask for an exchange but I remember having a 5s with the same problem of the loose power button, so other SE's might just be the same.
Other than that it's a nice little phone.

There's a thread dedicated to the power button rattle. Mine rattles if I shake the phone. Don't plan on shaking it though

I did preface that statement with "those on the Three network", but I suppose it could still be misconstrued.No, they unlock any phone LOCKED TO THEIR NETWORK for free

Stock returned at Bullring, Birmingham if anyone is interested. Just ordered mine for pick-up today.
Ordered through an Apple store? When I try to place an order its saying estimated delivery 15th April. Do i have to go to the Bullring's Apple store and order it fron there?
Yeah.
I went through order on website, and there is an option for "check availability". I put the postcode in, it said Available, clicked through and it said Available to Pickup.
Was ready in about 5 mins.
Apologies if I mis-understood you
I interpreted your statement as meaning a user could have an iPhone locked to O2, get a Three SIM and then Three would unlock it (which of course they can't).
Just checked the Apple store again for picking up from Bullring, it says 18th April now
Putting aside the laziness of the request, like how hard is it to ring them/check on the Apple Store, you don't even specify which model/colour you would be after.
Well the phone system just goes to a national call centre who I've found haven't been very helpful or accurate in the past. It was more of a general wondering if anyone in this thread has bought one from Bluewater or might know what the stock is like.
What a beautiful phone - everything I didn't realise I missed in the 5 > 6 upgrade.
John Lewis for me. Picked up from a random little Waitrose near work.
Random experience tho - time to collect was 2pm. Got an email at 1.36pm saying 'sorry your phone won't be ready, but may come later today'. Then another email at 1.39pm saying 'good news - your phone is ready to collect'!
