The U.K. iPhone 4 Thread

If one may interrupt, I am not defending anyone but why should he go to such lengths to prove anything to anyone, especially. As mentioned before he goes to Oxford Uni, it might not be the "infamous" one, but one of their many colleges/schools.

Because, as can be seen in this thread, he's giving actual students a bad name. His location implies quite clearly that he goes to Oxford University. Nobody calls any of the schools, sixth forms or colleges (as in 16 - 18 year old colleges) "Oxford University", and nobody calls Brookes "Oxford University" either.

Sorry if it seems like I'm pursuing this unnecessarily, it just annoys me when people feel the need to fake things about their lives like this.
 
I WIN😀

Take it to PM then. I don't care what crap he may or may not spread. This thread is already too long and moving too quickly without flaming posts adding to it!
 
Can we stop with the Oxford University rubbish? It's not as if this thread isn't long enough in itself just on its subject matter alone.

Silly question but the Bentall Centre store is my local one too and I can;t find an answer online.

Is it possible to buy/reserve an iPhone for in-store collection? If so, how and where?
Click to expand...

All of the pre-orders are sold out for all Apple Stores on launch day, I'm afraid. The only way you will be able to get one is queueing up early and getting some of the unallocated stock they're (probably) going to get in.

EDIT: Have you tried phoning the Bentall Centre Store to see if they know how many additional phones they're getting?


I also got my email reminder. I hope (and my entirely unprovable theory is) that the email is being sent out as the iPhones are now in an Apple Warehouse in the country and stock have been actually allocated to your reservation now.

Has anyone who got the confirmation email on pre-order day not gotten a reminder today?

Thanks. No, didn't login so maybe that was it. Just tried it via swapmysim.o2.co.uk though and that seems to have worked in so far as I got a confirmation text saying it would be done in 24hrs.

In fact I just reset my phone to try forcing it and it's still searching for a network after 2 or 3 minutes, so maybe it's worked already... time to try the new SIM!

That looks like a fraudulent email o2mail?
Click to expand...

Nothing fraudulent about it - a couple of times I've tried transferring SIMs and I always get one of these emails within a couple of minutes of trying. Just wasn't sure why though, but the login thing makes sense.

Yes but everyone who was trolling the member who first posted about O2 phoning Platinum members and offering them iPhone4s is now having to eat humble pie since it turned out she was right - she wasn't lying and it wasn't a scam. Not seen anyone apologising yet...
Click to expand...
Sorry this (like all my replies today) is so late... been going through like 20-30 pages of this thread trying to catch up, haha... but ya... your right... i knew she was tellign the truth before I posted this cuz I had read the odd post from later pages... but it was still quite funny!!!
 
So where are people who don't have a reservation with the apple store in Glasgow going?

I was thinking the o2 shop in Sachiehall street or the CPW in Buchanan Gallaries. I live in Edinburgh but work in Glasgow and the earliest train will only get me there for 6.40-6.50 or so 🙁

Oxford Colleges ARE the university and they're all pretty much as 'infamous' as each other as part of the grander Oxford University.

He doesn't go to Oxford, in any way, shape or form.
 
Think this has been mentioned before but if you're using swapmysim.o2.co.uk to transfer to an O2 microSIM, rather than wait 'up to 24 hours' for your number to be transferred, turning your phone off and back on again once you've received the confirmation text of your request seems to force it. Mines just been completed about 5 minutes after I submitted my request.

Think I'm finally ready for Thursday now! 😎
