AS I SAID EARLIER.....ORANGE HAVE MICRO SIMS IN STOCK NOW!!! THEY ARE SENDING ME ONE BY POST 3-4 BUSINESS DAYS SO WILL HAVE IT DEFO BEFORE MINE IS DELIVERED ON 24TH AT MY CURRENT TARRIFF.....HAPPY DAYS!!

I just called them and they had no idea about microsims or even when they will be in stock, who did you speak to?
 
and you say I'm a "nipple" :rolleyes: did you not even get my point? you had already posted u were gettin a micro-sim but felt the need to not only repeat yourself in all caps but in bright red font..... just seemed like u were after attention ;)

because people were still worrying about what they could do.....ie having to cut sim cards.....going to the shop on opening day and hope they have stock etc etc.......if people missed my post maybe they would not know.....jesus christ no wonder i usually stay away from forums....ppl with attitude problems everywhere.....i'm 28 years old and married with kids i hardly need any more attention ffs! no doubt you'll now come back with some other smarmy comment.....which i wont bother replying to cos i'm too old for this **** tbh.....just thought i;d try and help ppl but get idiots like u critisising....nice.

the upgrade team......and they then transferred me to the iphone team.....no idea of a name...it was a girl.....sorry. (p.s i am already with orange, if you arent maybe it will be hard to get 1)
 
guys, let's cut-out the flaming. please be considerate - not only is this thread SERIOULSY long a sit is, some of us are refreshing and checking it 'stealthily' whilst at work - and the flaming is making us scroll lots more!!! :D
 
So where are we with all this? I've probably missed stuff but my summary is:

Apple - Unlocked handset prices announced. Tariffs not applicable.

Orange - Handset prices and tariffs announced for contract and PAYG.

O2 - Tariffs announced for contract and PAYG. No handset prices announced.

Vodafone - Nothing officially announced but a leaked screenshot a few days ago. Probably no PAYG at launch.

T-Mobile - Nothing announced. Probably no PAYG at launch.

Tesco - Nothing announced apart from 24th June availability of something.

3 - Nothing announced. Is 24th availability confirmed?

Virgin - Nothing announced apart from negotiations with Apple.

The above is what I've noticed. If anyone wants to correct or add to it then please do.

Very informative list. If +reps were enabled on these forums, you'd have my click :)

With regard to 3, if you keep an eye on blog.three.co.uk they at least post up with "nothing new to tell you guys yet sorry" occasionally. It's not much, but it shows that they're aware we're eagerly awaiting details.
(Better than the utter silence tactic a certain other company normally employs *cough cough Apple* hehe)
 
Looks like I will be heading down to the Manchester apple store at 3am on launch day.

Not much point mate - the Arndale Centre itself won't be open at that time. Whoever queues up outside the Arndale Centre are going to have a mad rush to queue outside the Apple Store when the doors open.
 
wow...you really are a nipple aren't u....no understanding of the sentence "wanting to help people who are worried"

Made me LOL at work. Best put down ever!!! Don't think i have ever heard anyone called a nipple before. Made up for the no announcements today, just to read that post. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Same. Would be a good sticky mods?
 
Most stores that support the iPad will have micro sims, so it should be a matter of popping into a store and getting one :D

This is the problem with having the stores inside a shopping centre.
What time do you think they will open the arndale/trafford doors?
 
I've currently got a 24 month contract with 02 which finished in February - paying £25/month for 75 minutes. Thinking about changing contracts to the Simplicity £15 month 300 minutes with unlimited data now (before the new iPhone 4 contracts with 500mb data limit come in on the 24th) and then getting a PAYG iPhone 4.

Is this a good idea? are other people doing the same thing? really don't want to be stuck with a 500mb data limit if possible...

Also interested to see what contracts 3 come out with though.
 
the upgrade team......and they then transferred me to the iphone team.....no idea of a name...it was a girl.....sorry. (p.s i am already with orange, if you arent maybe it will be hard to get 1)

I am with orange also on their iphone 25 tariff and spoke directly to the iphone team who passed me to upgrades who had no clue.

PM me if you don't mind to let me know if you get one?
 
you can use an iPad micro sim in an iPhone as long as it hasnt been activated, I just spoke to o2 and the iPad tech team told me this
 
Just had an interesting thought, most SIMs (or at least the card they come in) have "property of {Network}" written on them. If it remains the property of the network, then is cutting it up technically criminal damage? Just speaking hypothetically - I'll be cutting it anyway ;) Plus we tend to bin this supposed 'property' when done with it.

Just a random little thought that comes to mind. I wouldn't worry about it - there are a *lot* of silly things that are technically illegal (eating mince pies on Christmas Day is one that springs to mind!)
 
So I could literally turn up at 7:30 and providing I'm faster than the others, rush to the front of the queue when the doors open?

They should have nice orderly lines. This is Britain.
