The U.K. iPhone 4 Thread

i agree!!!!!

if everyone who comes on here asking about stock was to ring up and post back their findings we will all know then! then we dont need the same questions over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over..... you get the point :)

Yeah, it can be a bit tedious with the same questions arising again & again. But, at least we are decent with our replies - I have seen some shining examples of arrogance on other threads today!

What did the Daily Mail article say? Link is dead now.

Basically, they based their report on the fake Steve Jobs twitter account in which they're was a tweet about a coming iPhone 4 mass recall.

If the link is down it probably means they've realized their mistake and taken it down.

Fair enough mate - just some friendly advice, include info like that and it will help us understand that your question is worth asking. Cheers! :D

I'm out of here for a bit - COME ON ENGLAND!!
 
Has anyone who missed the first wave but ordered online with vodaphone on the 24th received anything to suggest when the phone might be delivered? All I got was a very vague and generic "within the next couple of weeks" before I went through with the order.

Unfortunately I'm not in the UK much at the moment so faffing around trying to find one in a store isn't really convenient.

im ringing now, no point waiting till half time, maybe 2018 though :)

update so the woman said i should ring back tomorrow morning and that it is available on 3
 
out of curiosity when i ring the apple store directly e.g. brent X, and select option 5 i am speaking from a representative from that store, not someone from an apple call centre right?
 
I've now been waiting since 22 June to receive my Simplicity SIM... O2 haven't hesitated to issue me an invoice from that date, but nothing yet in terms of a SIM to actually activate it. Not too happy. Have been looking at SIM only plans on T-Mobile, which seem to offer pretty good value - does anyone know if these would work on the iPhone and if T-Mobile are issuing micro sims? Also, any idea through discussion with staff/CS when Orange will have a SIM-only plan compatible with the iPhone 4? Their website doesn't really give us a timeline. Thanks.

Ring them - I order a Simplicity on 7th June and it never turned up. They sent me to a store to get one and credited me line rental.

No worries for advice, glad it helped.

Sena do have a new range of cases for iPhone 4:

http://www.senacases.com/apple/iphone-4-cases/

I will be getting the Ultraslim one again - adds hardly any bulk and looks good. Also, looks like they have addressed the issue of the leather coming away from the lining at the top by stitching it in.

I ordered from their US site last time and will do again - delivery was fairly quick if I recall correctly.

My 3GS has always lived in a Sena Ultraslim. I like to use the phone 'naked', but in my pocket/on my desk etc it lives in the Ulraslim.

I've had the issue of the leather coming away from the lining at the top, but I'll be getting another Sena Ultraslim for my iPhone 4 (I'm currently using my 3GS' Ultraslim for my iPhone 4).

Is the Ultraslim for iPhone 4 definitely a different size to the current one? Aas my iPhone 4 is quite lose in my 3GS' Ultraslim....

Have done... they said give it another few days and they would credit me, but it shouldn't take this long. I guess I'm a bit annoyed with O2 at the moment - keep getting signal dropping, unrelated to the left corner of death.

I've already ordered mine. Apparently it's being released on 30 June.

Same here, but Sena did change the design, adding stitching around the top to stop this happening.

It has to be the. The pouch for the 3G/3GS is far too big!
 
im liking the Colcha SENA case. its got no holes at the bottom so surely you wont hear it ring too well?

My O2 signal seems a bit odd too. Sometimes I'll pick it up and it'll have 1 or 2 3G bars already, hold it in my left hand and it'll often lose 3G completely, put it back in the same place and it'll jump to full 3G. None of it seems very accurate. I'm hoping it is all a software issue that will be sorted next week...

Beyza Cases have some similar cases with small holes at the base so some sound can get through. I've been using an older design of Beyza Case with my 3G for a couple of years-it's great but a bit too loose on iPhone 4 so I'll be getting a new one

Ive had loads of calls dropped and unable to connect due to network busy on O2 over the years. Moving back to Vodafone now.

With Tesco piggying off O2s network...makes you wonder

Without taking it too off topic - Thanks for that, they look nice, i really like the Stiches design one but would want a pocket on the back for cards like this one http://www.beyzacases.com/pd-apple-iphone-4-id-case.cfm

any ideas?




Germany also won in the F1 today :(
