It did specifically say on the preorder page that Scotland and Northern Ireland were excluded from the guaranteed delivery time, but despite receiving the dreaded email, I still reckon it'll come. There is absolutely no reason it shouldn't, unless Apple have mismanaged this somehow.
Got a tip for us?

Just spoke to Orange CS again, confirmed that some are able to order the upgrade but only if they have received a text with a unique upgrade code. These people were part of the first batch to register interest and have therefor received the code before others.
Did you receive the text before upgrading ?
Just wanted to say I'm so impressed with o2. Ordered an iPhone simplicity plan last week, got it yesterday, went into o2 store today with my apple order conformation and walked out five minutes later with a microsim. Activated online in a couple of minutes and now all ready for Thursday. Top marks for o2, shame some of their store staff are a couple of steps behind but it's probably unfair to compare em to someone who frequents this forum

I'm expecting my simplicity SIM tomorrow, lets hope everything goes as smoothly for me as it did for you, considering I have to port my O2 Pay & Go number over to the contract too. :/
I ordered on Thursday too. CS told me they'd post it on the 21st by 1st class post. It seems they were as good as their word.
Also, I received an email from Apple this morning, reminding me that I've got an iPhone 4 reserved for me until close of play on Thursday, just in case it had slipped my mind.
Everything's going according to plan!
Remember theres a Tube STRIKE in london for 2days starting tomorrow.

L O L sucks to be you
4000 texts a month
thats about 130 a day/8 per hour (if you're up 16 hours a day)/ 1 EVERY 7.5 minutes...
Surprised you have time to do anything else at that rate...
most i could manage was just over 500 a month (not that its a competition!) however.... 4000 a month
so does seem like theyve cut yet another item out of the new release of the iPhone - no sim ejector thingy
Yep 150. I ignored the message saying the staff had no info
and to refer to the orange website.

I'd be feeling slightly more warm and glowing towards O2 had they not sent me someone else's PAC this morning then disconnected me at lunchtime...
Them: 'Er....you didn't request a PAC then?'
Doesn't bode well for Thursday.
What would stop you passing a credit check (all new to this). And also, can you have 2 contracts on one bank account?
I did register early but didn't receive a code. I am eligible for upgrade though.
Just make sure you take your apple order number in with you or they won't release the sim, even if you've got all the o2 stuff with you. Oh, and good luck!
CPW are doing phone orders right now.
I agree the networks have been rubbish so far, not one person I have spoken too at any network has given the same answer. I had a text this morning saying, you have been selected for an upgrade, we will call today or tomorrow. 6PM I get a call from CPW, they hang up! So I call CPW customer services to ask how to get back to them, and am told it is not possible, the text was a company error, no phone orders will be happening, and only a limited number of CPW store will have stock accross the UK.
Well whadya know, CPW just called me back at 9pm, 32gb Black iPhone 4 on its way to me on Thursday by DHL.
The moral - don't assume that what the customer service staff tell you is correct.

i'm on hold now, unsurprisingly they're 'experiencing a high volume of calls'
Worrying thing is I don't know what my password is the automated message asked for!
Hmm, wish they would ring me then. The guy I spoke to was adamant all 15,000 phones were going to stores and no new stock before July 2nd.
Ok i got my new micro-sim from O2 and want to setup my new sim card. I want to know how do i take the contacts stored on my sim and put them onto my new sim card so that i can still use my new micro-sim with an adapter in other phones and still have my contacts with me!?
I know itunes will prob sync contacts to my new iPhone 4 but want to have them on my sim. Just afraid that when i activate micro-sim and the other one is dead then i will lose all my sim saved numbers

Not sure what I should do on Thursday really....
I have a reservation for a SIM-Free 32GB at Apple. However, my O2 contract (iPhone Simplicity £20 30-day) is currently on a normal SIM card in my 3GS. I went to the O2 store today to get a Micro-SIM card but they had run out! Also despite registering on the O2 website as-soon as it went live, I have not been sent one.
Will Apple have Micro-SIMS like O2 have [apparently] had this week on Thursday? I don't want a new contract or anything, just my current contract transferred onto a Micro-SIM.
Or I'll take a knife with me to work...

Likewise Jammers, I was told that not all stores would get phones, so dont bother going early. thats why I was so surprised to get the text and then phone call this evening. It would seem that demand for information is high, but the networks havent properly filtered the full and correct information to all staff handling enquiries, therefore, much mis information is going around.
If it makes any difference, I was called off the back of a pre order enquiry on the CPW website over a week ago. Or at least thats what the sales woman said in her opening pitch!
ok so someone in america has got the iphone and i still have
is this normal theres only like 1 day left

Yeah, but they have the second amendment, and are rather attached to it. Personally, I don't mind the wait, as I'm still waiting for my micro SIM from Orange, which I didn't manage to order (thanks to Orange's awful customer services) until Thursday.
