No 16GB iPhone 3G at Launch

Hmm that is not good. There must have been some 16Gbs for them to be advertised on the short-lived O2 online shop. When i rang O2 today to confirm my order, i was told that i would "definitely" have a 16GB iPhone delivered on Friday. However, she did mention that the order status may appear as "out of stock", as O2 do not in fact have any physical iPhones and therefore there system states they are out of stock. She said this would change around Thursday when the stock arrives and is then shipped to customers straight away.

This must mean that O2 still don't know anything about stock numbers. Stock isn't being delivered until early friday morning to any CPW or O2 stores, so the stores don't know what they are getting 'til it arrives.

Precisely. So, although it's obviously not good that an O2 shop member of staff is saying that there will be no 16Gbs [in the shop] on Friday, it could well be that he can't actually be sure.

Nothing like clutching at straws ....

16gb IPHONES CONFIRMED!

I just went in to my local o2 ship in Winchester and the manager told me that they just received a shipment of phones and they do have a very small number of the 16gb Iphones, and only available in black. He isn't sure if they will get anymore tomorrow morning or not as he said most of the phones are being dedicated to the online sales, but they are supposed to get more weekly is what the o2 officials are telling him.

I had a similar experience, I went into a large o2 store in Belfast and the iPhone t-shirt wearing dude told me they had 10 iPhones in the store but that they were getting more on Friday morning before the store opened. Large pinch of salt required, obviously.

8am on monday or tuesday you could go on line and purchase an iphone to be mailed to you from 02.co.uk but they sold out in like 10 minutes.

Yes, I know, I was being sarcastic.

I was one of the fools who wasted 3 or 4 hours trying to place an order.

It was a complete farce, and I'm convinced that it was little more than a publicity stunt by O2.
