The U.K. iPhone 4 Thread

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!

Yeah, I registered with them and had a text today saying they would let me know tomorrow which stores have them in stock on Thursday. Hoping for a phone call now :D

I shouldn't think we'd have to, I think we only need to bring email confirmation.

Is there a clear word on cash vs debit/credit card? I know Apple said after the iPad debarcle that they have changed, just wondering if this is worldwide?

I've just come back from an Apple Store. I asked what do I need to
bring with me if I've reserved an iPhone 4 and the chap asked what
type of phone was I after (contract etc), I said "sim-free", he said
just bring money. Upon hearing the word "money" I asked could
that be cash and not necessarily a card and he said "yes".

Didn't ask about email confirmation.

Yes, why not. Ship tomorrow on overnight delivery for Thursday.
 
If you look on the UK order status and click on view order details the 'cancel items' will be greyed out as well.

Don't worry, they'll be here on Thursday.

You're in the queue in front of me then :mad: ;)

Wonder how many staff they have on the phones at this time?
 
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
 
If you check the australian site does it already tell you where it is before it get's there as they are ahead of us lolz

People chill out the phones will be with us Thursday for everyone who caught the preorder in time.

Now time for a coffee :D

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.

Ahh right, possibly then. Still sure I went through it and it said Scottish Highlands but I guess I should stop worrying as mines has 'prepared for shipment'. :D
 
Can I just point out that "not yet shipped" and "prepared for shipment" are exactly the same thing? Pavement/sidewalk, lift/elevator etc....

I'm expecting mine to be delivered on Thursday, but I'll be out of town so the girls in the office will have to keep it safe for me. No big deal; I have scissors ready in my office drawer to trim current SIM. Done a few in various countries for the iPad; it's a trivial procedure which takes about a minute.

Sure, I'm excited to be getting a new iPhone like everyone else but the amount of people in this forum on a perpetual vinegar-stroke disturbs me somewhat.

No they don't. "not yet shipped" means "we've received your order but we don't have any stock yet" or "we've received your order but we're all too drunk to process it".

"prepared for shipment" means they've got the stock, put it in a box and slapped a stamp on it :p

Hey come on - God is dead, Lucas is clueless & even Iggy hawks insurance.

We NEED something to get ecstatic about nowadays!
 
Hey everyone. I have an iPhone reserved for pickup on Thurs and am going to renew my contract in-store. I'm on Orange and am hearing really mixed things about obtaining a micro-SIM.

Does anyone know how I can get my hands on an Orange micro-SIM? Some apple technicians are saying they will be able to give me one in store and that they'll call Orange from there and transfer my number across and some are saying they won't be able to do it on the day.

Orange say they're not giving out any micro-SIMs and their stores will not stock any on the 24th... I have no idea whats going on... :(
