There is mass panic and confusion in the city, people are amassing outside every single o2 and Carphone Warehouse store. I counted over 70 people at a small o2 store and 20 outside the CPW next to it in Hampstead, this was at 8:20am.
I have reports of similar numbers in Moorgate's CPW store.
Outside the Apple Regents St store at approximately 8:45am I saw 200+ zombies standing motionless, there were a dozen police officers there, they had no way to save the helpless store employees trapped inside.
On the Strand there were approximately 100 people outside the o2 store and 15 outside an extremely small CPW kiosk store. The last store I was able to reach on the strand had only 6 people in line, their computer system is no-longer recieving credit reports and they are forced to take down details and call people back later. This store had entirely sold its 16gb stock and had about 20 8gb's as of 9am.
Store employees are quite rightly scared, every 20 seconds they hear shouts of "do you have any 16 gigs?", i looked into the eyes of one sales woman who was clearly on the verge of breakdown. Another o2 employee was heard muttering to himself in a corner "no iphones, no iphones".
Carphone Warehouse is unreachable by phone, I fear for their lives. Please, if there is anyone out there, send police, send the military, please, we urgently need stocks of black 16gb iPhones.
