Not 8am then 🙁

It's all over the net that it will be 9am or (4:00am ET)

 

[jhill89]

So if it's not 8am what time will it be? If the preorder time is 9am EST that is 2pm in the UK...

 

[jamies90]

Oh god - reminds of the iPad preorder days with the store going up and down a couple of days!

 

[Hicks.]

Crap, I have to go to work now.

When it all goes live, can somebody please buy me a 32GB black one and I'll pay them back? 😉

 

[MrSingh]

me checking-back at 9am.

If thats the Three one, then it's data only. Can't use it in a phone but works great in the iPad 3G.

But you're saying they do actually work? cuz that's got me wanting a 3G instead of a wifi only ipad again (not in uk atm... gonna order one when I get back)

 

[Willis]

Right off to work... god damn, hopefully store is open when I get there.

 

[Sdancott]

Argh! I'm so bloody peeved. I woke up this morning expecting at least some information. But still, we have nothing...

Why does this happen every year with the iPhone? (looking to become a twice-yearly event no we've got the iPad).

Terrible

I always wonder how much money Apple looses during these times, I mean, their whole online store has been down for over 2 hours now.. I know it's early morning and late night in places, but sometimes they do it in the evening..

Do those work? I saw a 12gb one on ebay for £40 odd and that works out to be a really damn good deal.

They do indeed. In most cases they're a bargain compared to the official sims for the iPad.

 

[daleski75]

lol patience guys it might not be up at 9am!

Surely if it was going to be 2PM they wouldn't have pulled all the stores down so early. Pulling the stores down loses sales, so it only makes sense that they are down for as little time as they need to be.

Just spoke to vodafone upgrades. Nothing's happening till 9am and they are still waiting for the final prices.

Might as well go to work then 🙁

Yes. Works fine. Just don't mess up chopping the sim 😉

 

[Westyfield2]

Any news?!?!

Just flicked open my MBP for a quick check before heading to work!

 

[dalvin200]

i predict a riot... thats all i can say!

 

[CD3660]

Can't believe I got up at 8am.

Can't believe I got up at 4:30am 😱!

 

[azallen]

the apple store will be back soon! this is it guys!!!

 

[Stiss]

Can't believe I got up at 4:30am 😱!

Now that is dedication.

 

[ddrum1458]

does it need to be a certain time, ie. 0800, 0815, 0830, etc, or is it possible that they'll put it up when they're ready to do so?

 

[andybno1]

the apple store will be back soon! this is it guys!!!

it's been sayin that for the last couple hours 😉

 

[Jonmurgie]

It's all over the net that it will be 9am or (4:00am ET)

Gee, thanks... I think it was "all over this thread" that it could well be 8 am (midnight Cali time) 😉

 

[tazzy8907]

Nice... haha, that's just bumped up my ipad cost 100 quid tho... I'll probs go with the 16 GB then since I'll have the 32 GB iphone... so it should balance out nicely... prob keep most of my music on the iphone to keep free space on the ipad...

 

[Boblister]

the apple store will be back soon! this is it guys!!!

Been saying that for the last 2 hours 🙂

 

[mhuk01]

how many hours has the store been down for already?
