Yeah, true. Bar Thursday, I'm up at 0330 in the morning for work anyway this week , so it won't be that much of a struggle to get there 6ish as I'll be attuned to early starts. Stupid to get there that early I suppose, but last time it saved me time after 8am - I was out the door by 830, while the queue had moved about 3 places, gawd knows how long some of 'em had to wait - far longer than I spent like a numpty in front of a closed shop I expect
So Wednesday, the plan is to watch England crash n burn, sink a few bevvies, then the hit the hay at about 10pm. Me = hardcore.
People gave their lives so you could vote so....erm...go and vote right now:

No idea if it's full stock or not but it means you won't see shipping til tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.That sounds promising

Good point. I'd like to be out of there ASAP really. I have a few friends who are going to check the o2 periodically throughout the early hours so hopefully they'll keep me informed and we'll be among the first in queue.
wow . 387 pages.
brill ! .................. dude
You think 387 pages is alot....
Just wait UNTIL UK iPhones show as 'Prepared for shipping' & 'Shipped' on Apples website....
Same here, o2 staff have told me my contract stays the same (have asked at 2 different shops over the weekend whilst trying to get a microsim early!). I am now using the new micro sim and have checked My o2 which has all the usual allowances. I will be checking it again though.
Just picked up a microsim from a Vodafone store. He scanned it through and it came to £0.00. No adaptor included though. No proof of any pre order or anything needed.
At least thats a weight off my mind, however, I want some sort of update!
Looks like it won't leave the warehouse tomorrow at the earliest, wednesday latest.
Nope, no sign of the 'White' iPhone 4 as of yet. Not even listed on their systems!
Also amused me that they had no idea that O2 were only allowing existing customers buy the O2 iPhone 4 handsets! Shouldnt of said anything really! Also they had no idea that handsets ordered via Apple were unlocked/sim free!
Alot of phone shops/chains have been kept in the dark!
O rly? So, hopefully there is a chance of a white on launch day? Granted I'm with O2, but I'm hoping they'd get the same as everyone else in regards to whites.
my guess is that, first do a backup on itunes of your 3g, then swap over to the ip4. Itunes will probably then put the backed up info onto ip4 (texts, apps, the lot). It ought to be that simple, seeing as its Apple.
However, change over to the microsim as early as possible (mine already done and using in 3g meantime) just in case servers crash on Thursday.
I was told this morning that you'd be classed as a new customer by doing this (and thus, not allowed to buy until the end of July).
This was in an O2 store this morning, so take with a pinch of salt.
CPW has nationally as total selling stock (7,700 max) not too much more than what Regent Street Apple Store has as reserved stock (6,000). Damn - Regent Street is where I am collecting from.
ps - 6,000 figure is from a fellow-poster who says a member of staff let slip to himk over the phone. when ic alled and spoke to them they woulddn't tell me despite my charm offensive - all they'd say is 'we have a lot of reservations'. judging by how long they took to find my name (which begins with A), i'm thinking that this figure may be right.

Doubt it, basically just means Orange are getting the white iPhone's just a question of when.
Well the girl actually navigated through the system and showed me, I have no reason to lie about it. All I am telling you is what I saw on the screen that was in front of me in my local CPW.
Apple Cardiff was convinced they are having White. Said they knew how many but wouldn't say how many
