I've 'bagged' a WHITE iPhone 3G today!! - Apple Store, Trafford. (MORE PHOTOS added!)

I ordered an iPhone from both o2 and CPW and both failed to deliver anything, even though I placed to order well early, Monday at 8.40am. They're absolutely sh*t.

Anyway, I went to solihull to do some clothes shopping, saw the apple store and popped in. Just looking around knowing they wouldn't have any left, the guy asked if he could help, he said they had loads in stock, any size, white or black.

My wife is now the proud owner of a 16Gb white iPhone 3G, just need to know how to download apps to the phone from the phone, it says I've got to put in a username and password, where the hell do I get one of these from. I downloaded to iTunes from the app store no probs and then sync it, but directly to the phone, no idea :confused:

Just use the same username and password you use in iTunes.

Rang the Apple Store Trafford centre 10am, they said systems were back up.
I asked the guy, if he were me, knowing the stock levels, would it be worth the hours trip from Widnes, he said 'definitely'.

I went, queued for 1Hr 10 mins and activation took 20 mins in total.

I walked out with a fully functioning iPhone 3G white.

Far as I can see, no screen issues.

I was already with O2, but took out a new contract, and was treated as a new customer to O2.

I've since released the 8GB black I was holding, until Monday, at the O2 store, Widnes.

One COOL day. :apple::cool:

What's with the addition of the screw (or two) on the bottom of the iPhone?
 
Strange, it worked fine for me! Have you got a MobileMe account? If so you can use these details too.

Have you tried to buy anything from iTunes on the phone?

I'm not sure you know.

Obviously I'm not going to test un-screwing them, as it voids the warranty, but it does seem, to me,
as if these screws are the only joining force holding the front chrome bezel, and the glossy back, together.

I don't mind them either.

In a weird way, they add more style. :cool:

Yes, I have got a MobileMe account but probably haven't fully set it up, and no I haven't purchased anything from my iTunes account on the phone.

Once I'd had more time to play I'll probably find out what I'm doing wrong.
 
Woo, I went to the Trafford Centre last night and got my white iPhone :D

As soon as I was served a massive queue appeared behind me so luckily I didn't have to wait at all :)

So happy with it already and I'm getting pretty good reception despite what the o2 map says..

I would take pictures but I think we've seen enough, haha.

Your welcome, thats great news! :cool:

As for my case, I already had one, for my iPod touch.

I'm currently using the iQase SWiFT.

I had it shipped in from the states, and it's a high-quality leather product.

Didn't really suit the ipod touch, as it was designed for iPhone, but I took a chance and got it late last year.
Now I'm glad i kept it, as it's in perfect condition, and fits the iPhone 3G snugly.

Because White iPhones are only on sale in Apple Stores in the UK and you can't upgrade in the Apple Stores.

O2 and CPW sell the white iPhone and you can upgrade to it from your original iPhone contract
 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed to have a good one...haven't gotten mine yet. :p

Semi-excited...Semi-nervous. :p

Well is this right? I got my white iPhone from an Apple store as a new O2 customer, but all the upgraders say that O2/CPW won't be getting white ones for a while. They don't even have much stock of black 8GB or 16GB...

Looks good, although the website says you can "clip it to your pants" apparently :p Don't feel the need for that sort of thing myself

(Yes I know it's American, but still makes me laugh :D)

I got the Gear4 IceBox Pro from the Apple Store and it's great! Adds a couple of mm to the width and depth but the clear plastic shows the iPhone off nicely, and the front face is completely protected too, with only a tiny slot for the ear speaker and a round hole for the home button (both of which line up perfectly, so you can't even tell the front of the iPhone is covered).
 
WOW....I was the first person on the 11th at the Rogers store where I live and had my pick of the BLK or White 16 GB..... I went with the BLK but after seeing it here.... I might have made a mistake... The white looks sexy!!!
 
Thanks for the sweet pics! The first batch that showed only the back made me question my decision to buy black, but the second batch where you could see the white back/black front combo reassured me I made the right decision. ;)

Your welcome.

But - :O - I personally like the two-tone effect.

I think it's one of these things you have to see, in person, to understand the great design choice - because it is just that - a great design choice. :cool:

Buy a white then buy a original black rear case from china!

The best of both. :D

Nice plan, but I wouldn't be surprised if those were being manufactured or sold on, illegally. :rolleyes:
