Still Waiting
In South East London and also still waiting shouldn't have bothered taking the day off work!
Me
I've phoned them up and they promise they'll get it delivered today. The 7pm cutoff is rapidly approaching!

shouldn't have bothered taking the day off work!Yup you're not alone. Still waiting on UPS central London. The driver is meant to be contacting me to give an ETA... in other news a flock of porcine creatures have been spotted in the evening sky
Just spoke to O2.
I'm, an existing Pay Monthly customer wanting to upgrade, but cheesed off that they insist I go in store (i.e. waste my time) until they get stock.
The first person I spoke said I wasn't eligible for an online upgrade (not a 'Platinum' customer) and I would have to go in store. I pointed out that I could do the same for any other network, and there was no reward for loyalty. I spoke to a manager, who was equally unprepared to help.
There was no interest in keeping my business, so I'll oblige them and move on. I've requested my PAC code and I'll get a new phone from the first network that shows interest in my business - with O2 back of the queue.

exactly, screw o2 ive left them with a month left on my contract and went for a sim only Voda contract with £100 cashback from quidco
I just went to try and switch my number on to the new micro SIM from o2 on their website, but my old iPhone 3Gs is displaying "No Service", so I can't receive the text they send. I put the micro-sim in the new iPhone 4 and it says "Waiting for activiation". Does this mean the number has automatically been transferred, but its still processing it? Or what?
Thanks
Thanks
After all that, I kinda wished I'd got the 32GB model.....
I only have a meg left on my 16gb 3GS so I'll definately be getting the 32gb in WHITE when its available
I know a lot of people say O2 are a great help and stuff but I find when they want to be annoying they don't just do it half heartedly. They can really get you going.
Come on surely i cant only be the only one from northern ireland on this forum??!??!!
Takes up to 24 hours. Usually it's less then 2 but with all the activations being sent out I wouldn't worry about it taking longer.
Sorry, not from Ireland, but mines was expected to deliver on the 28th, but it came today... I'm sure you'll get it sooner than stated.
So, I went to orange today to try and get a sim for the phone. And I'm a little confused, cause after checking out many different phone shops in Glasgow, most of them told me that orange isn't expecting to get a PAYG micro sim for the iPhone 4???? One however told me they'd have some available tomorrow, can anyone confirm any of this?
great :\
do you know if its a person or a computer?
i ask because i mean is there is chance it could be done now?
Mine working..initially it weren't but i kinda bent the sim inwards for the phone to get a better contact and it's been working since.
Activation took half an hour.
I created a voda, orange and tmobile microsims. It's kinda simple once you get the hang of it.
Good luck
I've been waiting since 1:00pm which means I've been waiting for almost 6 hours and nothing, not a sausage...
O2 I am not happy!!!!
Bit of both, assuming you did it in store, that person sends off a request to activate then it hits O2's systems and the activation is sent out.
There's always the chance to be fair, best advice, leave the phone off and check every hour. If no activation after 12 hours, might be worth checking with customer services they've sent it out.
Bloke at o2 huddersfield told me 2-20 hours.
Syncing with itunes
"waiting for activation, this may take some time"
In South East London and also still waiting

Credit to 02 at The Gyle shopping centre in Edinburgh - I was say number 30 in the queue (they opened at 9.30 I got there about 8.30) and they kept us updated on whether our preference would be in stock - which it was - I'm now the owner of a 16GB black
So I have a long yellow band across the bottom of my screen
Does anyone believe this stuff about it fixing itself when bonding glue dries? I imagine the Apple store won't have stock to swap it for me now?
unlucky, i dont get the yellow band or anythink but the signal problem when u hold the left of the iphone kind of affects me, but i still can make calls on low signal so im happy
