On the day the 'Reserve your iPhone 4s' option appeared on the Apple store, I rang three of my local Apple stores in the UK and they all told me to wait until 9pm when there would be plenty to reserve for the next day. 9PM came and all showed unavailable.

I assumed it was a glitch or it was just not quick enough.

They told me to try again last night - I did and the same thing happened, despite refreshing very regularly.

So I rang all three stores this morning and ALL THREE told me they hadn't received any iPhones since launch day last Friday, so why the advised me to reserve at 9pm I have no idea...they have no iPhones for sim free.

I wouldn't be as p****d if they'd just said, when I rang the first time, we don't have any and have no idea when the next delivery will be, rather than telling me to wait until 9pm - with me thinking I'm not refreshing quick enough.
