Lines Begin Forming at Apple Retail Stores Ahead of iPhone 4S Launch

[jowie]

O2 Fail... First time I've not been able to buy a new phone over the phone.

Success in the end!

I complained to one of their "Gurus" online, who eventually said that he just heard they had decided to open the phone lines up to customers who are due upgrades. I thought I was being fobbed off, but called up and quoted the guy and was told I must've been misinformed, but the woman went away to check... She was away for over 10 minutes but came back with good news

So it's all ordered... Just looking forward to it being delivered either Monday or Tuesday

Also, I went into Stratford City today and the queue was incredible! They've had to split it into sections so people can get round the shops. There must've been 300 people queueing:

Standing in line to buy an iPhone is the Apple kool-aid acid test.

"Steve Wozniak is reportedly the first and only person in line so far at the Los Gatos retail store in California."

Sad!

Poor Woz, he is like that mentally ill or alcoholic uncle that turns up on Christmas day and wets himself.

Nah, he's actually a really nice guy. He's just trying to get some publicity for him, apple, and enjoy being part of it. I live in Los Gatos (he does to). It's a great town and sitting around in front of the apple store would actually be fun there. I walked by and said hi to him.
