Nope

we're all thinking 9am
I'm not. France and Germany have already gone past 9:00am and it'll be 5pm in Tokyo by then. I don't think that Apple is counting down to a worldwide re-opening of the Apple store based on when shops open in the UK.

Orange had said in an email that they would contact us on the 15th to tell us how to reserve our iPhones.. sounds similar to a pre order to me ..

Good luck! o2 have confirmed they're not doing pre-orders, and speculate no other networks will because of supply. Only Apple are doing pre-orders today...

They're not basing it on when shops open in the UK, 9:00am just happens to be 1am PST which is the time everyone's been talking about, be it gizmodo, engadget, whatever

Apple's situation hasn't changed since they announced 15th pre-order just over a week ago. They knew then what the supply situation is. It's not like the iPad situation where sales exceeded expectations in the US so delayed everywhere else.
Plus are apple doing upgrades? Despite this thread, I don't think that many people are going PAYG.
