Hope O2 accept pre-orders tonight. Only a month left on my contract so going to sign up for another 18 months and get the 32gig version.
Got a tip for us?

Well I've just cancelled my £10,000 yes that's £10,000 dock and bumper as it's delaying my order.....
Anyone else try and order the solid platinum dock? And get July delivery date?
It's now back to 24th June
Bloody joke today has been.....

Thanks. I might get one of those SIMs off of eBay and cut it for the iPhone 4. They cost a lot (over £20 they seem to go for) but it's cheaper than the minimum £120 you have to spend on top-ups otherwise.
I work in Manchester - in City Tower in Piccadilly Gardens. Getting the train in, arriving at 7:10, so should be in the queue for 7:30!
I've booked the day off(Sad I know!), I'm going to aim to get there as soon as I can get up to Manchester(Coming from Glossop).
Hopefully it'll run more smoothly than when I went to the 3G launch at the Trafford Centre, I got there at 6am ish and didn't get out till 3pm!
Apple experience, don't know if it'd feel right queuing outside the Vodafone shop! Think I would have preferred the TC, but Arndale is much easier and once I saw they had a 32GB I had to grab it!
Reserve for Pick-up??
Ive noticed people talking about reserving iPhone online for store pick-up.
Is this in the UK, on the Apple site?
Where and how do you do this? I can only see the option for it to be shipped.

Anyone with any thoughts on why unlocked is worth the likely higher price?? What's the benefits?
Alright, my contract ended last Feb, 35 a month.
How do I go about switching to this Simplicity thing, for 25 a month for 12 months?
Seems to work out cheaper? Maybe? I don't know
-- Wow! 200 pages.
Exactly same position. Looking to upgrade to the simplicity 15 package. You can do it online. Just spoke to O2 regarding the micro-sim. There should be no issue ordering one if you upgrade now. You can register at https://iphonelatest.o2.co.uk/ and they may send you one before launch/
True, I'm not too sure about doing the sim cutting, but might try it out if O2 aren't offering what I'm hoping for from them.

There you go
I work at CPW and all we did was mention pre orders start on the 15th not our own.
Well I need to be in work by 10 so I do hope it goes more smoothly than the 3G launch!
I actually visited Apple HQ in Cupertino last year (and you called YOURSELF sad). The staff store there sells Apple clothing and other bits and pieces, so if you see a guy in a black long-sleeve tshirt with an apple amblem, wearing a matching cap - that'll be me.
i'll be collecting mine from the arndale. i rang earlier to confirm my order and the girl on the phone said they hold one back until the close of play so you shouldn't have to queue.
i'm still getting there at 8 though

As long as you get the measurements right and are careful the SIM cutting is fairly straight forward, though I will really make sure I'm careful if I do it on a £20 SIM
Do you think they'll keep the 12 months deal on the 8GB 3GS, or do you think it's just for getting rid of the 16GB and 32GB 3GS stock?
- Higher resale value
- Ability to use it on local network abroad instead of paying for roaming
calm down, no need to shout
the benefits are it's unlocked. the clue's in the name
sarcasm aside, it means you can choose your carrier and chop and change should the whim take you
The whole thing with the SIM cutting...if you have an iPhone 4 you need a smaller sim, if your provider won't transfer you to a micro-sim you have no choice but to either cut the sim card or take out a new micro-sim. Therefore you have nothing to lose by having a go at cutting down your own sim...
you can switch networks whenver you please,
if you go abroad this is good as you use a local network instead of roaming,
if the network you want doesnt have the iphone you can buy it sim free and switch to the other network.
I'll be surprised if there's a lock on any of them given the confusion and difficulty of stocking multiple SKUs.
Why not try looking back over the last few pages instead of demanding answers? All the info u need is there, you just need to look for it!!
Totally agree, Leeds should have a REAL apple store not a fake KRCS (they're alright but not apple!) but it's like Edinburgh
They don't have one and have to go to Glasgow! Ah well meadowhell for me on Thursday!
