The U.K. iPhone 4 Thread

I want my new iPhone 4…well, actually, I kinda need it.

Here’s my current original iPhone all the way back from 2007. :eek:

(Yes, it still works)

Apple stores uk and new contracts

Spoke to apple lakeside today ,i have a 32gb reserved and asked if i wouid also be able to take out a new contract as well as do the o2 early upgrade option (£20 a month for the remainder of the contract) and was told that they are not doing new contracts just upgrades till the end of july? .I know o2 were only doing existing customers with their stock but thought where apple wouid have more stock they wouid be doing new contacts? is this for all networks?
 
Missed the pre-order thanks to being away and am looking for a sim-free phone. So its either a very early trip to Glasgow on Thursday morning or I just wait and order one for delivery in a few weeks.

Difficult thing is not knowing if the Apple Store have 4, 14 or 40 iPhones for punters on the day, so is it worth the risk of coming back empty handed? And how early to go? Hmm.....

I'm getting one of these until cases start to fold in and hopefully I can get a half decent leather case.

£10. Does no harm and keeps it protected :D. Note, mine hasn't changed status yet and I ordered it "Jun 15, 2010 at 04:57 PM GMT".
 
It's on its way!

Nice lady from Orange just phoned to say I was eligible for an upgrade, would I like an iPhone 4 (yes please!) - and it'll be with me tomorrow. SHe DID have Black & White available, but the white had just all be allocated, so Black it is for me.

Can someone please start a "mines been despatched" thread and a "how do I get a microsim?" thread please? Important posts are being lost in the very similar multiple posts :-(

But, anyway, Do we know if we can do Vodafone contracts in the Apple store on Thursday yet? Apple stores said yes, Vodafone say no. That was yesterday, not had chance to call them both today yet.

Wondering what the 'Maximum Per Customer' will be in stores such as CPW, Orange & Vodafone ect...... As I am really hoping I can pick up 2, one for me and 1 for my girlfriend.

I know Apple's online Max per Customer was 2, so hoping this transfers across to others.

Hi Bob, I'll be there with you in the queue on Thurs, thankfully with my reservation and enabled Micro SIM from Orange !

Got a general question with regard to the reservations. I've noticed a few people asking for and offering to pass on/receive reservations also seen on eBay that some are selling their reservations for upwards of £70 !! What use would they be if you can't supply a valid ID that matches the reservation ?

I'd hate to see people queue up thinking they've got a valid reservation only to be dissapointed when they get to the front of the queue. Even worse for the poor sods that are buying these online !! :mad:

*** There's one on eBay with bids of £205 !! Just for the reservation email ! ***

Please enlighten me as to how you got a micro-SIM?! I have made countless phonecalls to Orange who say they aren't sending any out till the 24th :(

Do you mean its been like that since 2007 or it happened recently? lol

It happened August 09. I dropped it on concrete. It was just cracked back then, but slowly, pieces of glass have fallen out. I find it quite awesome how the screen still works though.

Aye, I second. I can totally understand people being excited, but declaring your phone 'prepared for shipment', sheesh... Will we have 5+ pages later on when peoples orders actually get shipped? Unnecessary.
