Well queued at 5:30 this morning outside Vodafone and got myself a 32GB
Not used it yet as was meant to be in work at 8am and dint get out the shop till 9:05 even though the shop opened at 8:30 and I was first in the queue!
Not really had a play yet as I'm in work and waiting for my number to port across but initial impressions are good.
Feels much sturdier than my old iPhone and certainly seems "snappier" than my 3G does with ios 4 on it!

I went down to the local Vodafone store this am. Queued up from 6am. Was number 2 in the queue.
Got in the store as soon as it opened and had the 32Gb phone box in my hands. The sales guy starts entering my details on the system and then tells me they need to run a credit check as I am a new customer. Fine says me, will only take 5 mins. Nope will take 24 hours says he.
They refuse to hold the phone for me. Refuse to let me pay for it outright and then pick it up once the credit check has gone through. So I am without an iPhone 4.
He reckons that they will have more in stock at the weekend. Vodafone's website disagrees. What a waste of a morning and a day taken off work specially.
I just want to scream.

Zagg.com? That's where I ordered mine from, They also have a UK Depot to ship from as well. I've got a couple of 25% off if you/anyone else needs them.
The Back Cut is out is Perfect, the Front again is great but there is no hole for the Camera, but instead Zagg have made the Mic cut out longer so it fits nicely. Will do the job for now
First impressions
Very nice to hold, Design is Beautiful - Classic Apple
Signal seems to hold up okay, Nothing like the Signal Problems in the US
Love the 2 speakers now, Sound is Better
Video is superb, Camera is deffo a step up, Great for Casual and Tweets
Display is simply superb, Can't fault it and Videos look Wowza
perfect news...
more evidence that maybe only US phones have the yellowish problem...
I know!
I hate TNT - they really are rubbish. Mine finally just went to 'Out for delivery' after the earlier 'exception' that apparently wasn't really an exception. When I rang they just waffled on about ' it came in on a trailer ' 'not the normal ways things come in ' and my favourite 'it should be fine'. Er, clueless. I'll just wait in all day then shall I?!
Rant over.
no yellow patches on mine. one of the first things i did was go in to settings and then mail to scroll around and check the white for any yellow dots. all clear on mine.
another note, the buttons are lovely. the home button has a nice solid click, but not too difficult to press that you might miss a second click when double tapping. the sleep button is nice and clicky, same with the volume. and the speaker(s?) are great. no more distorted SMS tone like i used to get with my 3gs if i had the volume any higher than 5.

Surprised no-ones come on here yet refusing to believe that any of you have got your iPhones without pictures of you 'FaceTiming' with the Queen in front of Big Ben holding a copy of today's edition of The Times

I'll have one Pushkar if you can PM it. CHeers!
Just finished synching up my new iPhone, and am back on the forum.
Happy to report, no yellow spots, and that whole signal problem that was shown on the You Tube video doesn't apply to my handset... full strong signal.
Am pleased with my new baby.... just need to figure out all he/it can do as it's my first iPhone (having defected from B'berry).
man has arrived in Oxford. Happy days!
