Could someone please consider my post. I'm getting a bit frustrated/confused finding out from some people and some sites that Vodafone is better and from others that O2 is better.. 
Can anybody tell me if Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile,... is better than O2 for the iPhone?
I've had a few problems over the past 1.5 years on O2 with my iPhone 3G. This includes late sms, dropped calls, incoming calls not showing up and just going straight to voicemail. The internet over 3G has also been rather slow at times. I live in central London, Zone 2.
Please help, I have to make a decision before picking up my iPhone 4 on thursday
Same, I ordered at 11 ish cuz the 16GB preordering wasnt working all morning, but still "Not shipped"...
Hopefully we should be seeing some movement tomorrow...
This is based on the fact that o2 likely won't accept a lot of new customers for the iPhone 4 at the beginning, but does the Apple store not do contract upgrades for existing O2 customers?
Actually, O2's page says: "only existing O2 customers will be able to get an iPhone 4 from us."
This suggests that the existing customer rule only applies to O2 stores. I'd be surprised if that applies in an Apple Store, since their stock isn't part of O2 stock.
Technically, only O2 aren't doing New customers. Apple and other stores should still be handing out contracts to new customers even if O2 aren't.
keep checking mine, ordered 8.53 GMT or when i log into the US order tracker says 1.53am PDT..........so i got a really really early order in lol, but still not changed status, sods law
Mine was 1:36 PDT and still hasn't changed yet
OK guys, I have an unconfirmed report that our iPhones may be on our way and departing China in just more than 3 hours. Bare in mind this is no direct flight and stops at various places in the US, if correct our iPhones should be in the UK by Monday, Tuesday at the very latest.
I'll update this as soon as I get off the Toilet.

Most iPhones are Fast Shipping (EMEA), those with only the iPhone, and why would the aircraft go to the US first?
Sorry I meant Europe, I was pre-occupied. Will update in the next couple of minutes
Ok. I'll still be smiling. The only time I'll ever
is if my iPhone ships this coming week.Ok. I'll still be smiling. The only time I'll ever
It won't be delivered before the 23rd, now if there are problems with so many packages
then we are looking at both the 23rd and the 24th to deliver but probable 24th if they are held back.I'm wondering if I'll be able to get an iPhone next Thursday seeing as O2 have said they won't be doing PAYG at launch. I want to do the O2 simplicity for 12m, but I take it I now won't be able to do this will I?!
No you will have to buy Sim-free from Apple if you want it on Launch Day.
iPhone 4 UK pre-order
Hey all this is my first time posting on here
ok so to the point here in the UK most of us should get are iPhone 4 if pre-ordered from apple online store on June 24th or if your lucky June 23rd. as when I pre-ordered my iPad 3G from the online store I got it a day before. I got my 32GB black iPhone 4 pre-ordered on June 15th at 8:22AM so right after the store went back up. so I will be getting my one on OR before June 24th
so just shareing that with you all.

yes, as long as you do it on or before the 23rd
How long were you waiting for that !! Bet you can't get the 9000th post as well !
I'm picking my reserved iPhone from Apple Store Westfield London on Thursday. I'm planning on updating my O2 contract. Hope I can still do that???
Yes you can.
As for Flight Tracking Update, I think we have narrowed the flight down from Hong Hong to Liege.
Route: From (HKG) Hong Kong, HK to (LGG) Liege, BE
Duration: 12h 05m
Equipment: Boeing 747-400 Freighter (Scheduled)
Arrival 4.05PM
TNT Airways
That is the plane we are looking at, a Cargo one that is the same as the one that shipped the iPads.
However, I may be completely wrong and this is completely a different plane
But this is the only plane from HK to Liege all week. From Liege it will make it's way through various locations in Europe, to Arnhem (Holland) sometimes Athens, and finally to Staffordshire or thereabouts.I am probably wrong as none of the UK people have had Prepared for Shipment, and as the plane leaves in less than 3 hours, it's probably wrong.
