Apparently the online service will only be available to those accounts who already have an iPhone registered.

The online ordering process is for original iPhone owners only, at first. It's like a fast-track pass.

Will the online ordering give us a courier delivery on the day of July 11th? The contract isnt in my name (O2) and the person who owns the contract is away on business that day so it leaves me a bit screwed to buy one from the store.

O2 have quoted delivery by July 11th, yes, but to be honest, everything is up in the air at the moment.

O2 pulled their 'Register you Interest' service offline last week due to an unprecedented amount of interest.
I can't remember the exact number of subscribers, was it 500.000?

Anyway, people are doubting O2 and Apple's capability to supply to the huge demand, so details are sketchy at best.

We should recieve more information on Monday/Tuesday (7th/8th) next week.

I think the whole in-store activation is confusing the appropriate channels. Last time when set up through iTunes it worked a dream! I bought mine from an O2 store in northern ireland, al they had to do was hand us a box and take our money and they still messed up, running around like headless chickens. (just a thought but who has ever seen a headless chicken running around?)
