Correct - pre-authorisation is what they call it.
It will be gone, when/during Shipping.
Got a tip for us?

Would do it but will prob get rid of my jailbreak on my 3g iPhone so best not be nosey as selling this at the weekend.
If i want to delete all my personal data from the iPhone but keep the jailbreak and possibly the apps, how do i do this?
If i was to hit the "reset and delete data" in the settings menu, would this get rid of the jailbreak!?
Yea but what I mean is until today its been on hold and not showing in my available funds, just my account ballance, but now its showing in my available funds.

That's what my happened with me also. I think they've taken the money to ensure it was a legit pre-order and the funds are avaliable

For what its worth... UK orders seem to fulfil from a European distribution centre... so expect to have it shipped on Wednesday and delivered on Thursday. The reason why people in the US have had shipping notifications is because they're being fulfilled in the far East.
Thats just my experience, having ordered various gadgets from Apple... mines ALWAYS come either from down south in England or Holland.

Yea but why has it gone back into my available funds... surely the hold should stay on unless I cancel it until they take the money.
I don't have any number on my email, it's just an email saying apple have reserved me an iPhone , will I still get a micro sim with that??????
US is coming from China I believe, which is where they were made, so dunno why ours are sent in a different method.
3 mins and mine will be downloaded, can't wait to have a go on it. a few days to work it all out ready for iPhone 5
No, thats normal. It automatically drops off after a few days - pre-auth is just to check you have funds at the time, not a guarantee you'll have them later.
Ah right... probably because most things I order are dispatched the next day so I never notice.
On their website, use the store finder. You get a national number, but it puts you through to the local branch if you choose the right options (basically, just keep pressing 'other').
And despite what some people are saying here, many CPW are doing a waiting list, mine even offered to call me the night before and confirm.
And they were also willing to put my name down for 32gb.
DO not worry, but just make sure the funds are always available.
Apple always do pre-authorisations, then put the money back in for release, and then take it out either at the moment of shipping, or slightly after shipped.
iOS4 - 15 minutes until download is complete...
...then something to play with until Thursday.

Hi Kester its S-T-E-V-E from DigitalSpy
Mines exactly the same buddy, hold on the funds is gone. It's so they know you have the funds but they don't tie them up

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.
I can't queue at the O2 shop near work, because if anyone from work spots me they are going to think i'm a right spod, don't mind my mates knowing that but not my work colleagues!
Will get there at 7.45 and hope for the best.

Yep, I read all that. That's why I rang them. They said I can have a handset but they don't know how much it'll be yet and to ring back nearer thursday.
