The U.K. iPhone 4 Thread

[Oh-es-Ten]

Fail

Tesco Surrey Quays got 3 x iPhone 4's in stock today, all sold.

He said there may be some in next Thursday.

Oh well, at least that clears that up. Now to wait for whatever this announcement brings tomorrow.

 

[Nuttydev]

Got mine from O2 today. Yay Also they were selling the bumpers for £19.99 rather than Apple's £25.

Also they were selling the bumpers for £19.99 rather than Apple's £25.

Saw this on HUKD last night. Do they just have the black ones?

 

[Nuttydev]

Yeah no other colours, and she said they only got them in today (must have come with the iPhone shipment)

 

[MrNase]

Same here. Shipment delayed. I'm wondering why that is. I just did a quick check and the weather in HK seems ok - not really bad at all.

I think that this is very unlikely but could it be that Apple has stopped TNT and is planning to replace the iPhones with newer, fixed ones?

Same here.

14 Jul 2010 04:35:12 Hong Kong Shipment In Transit.
14 Jul 2010 03:57:55 Hong Kong Shipment Received At Transit Point.
14 Jul 2010 03:08:00 SZ1 Shipment In Transit.
14 Jul 2010 00:06:41 Shenzhen Shipment In Transit.
13 Jul 2010 21:22:58 Shenzhen Shipment Collected From Sender.

And I also begin thinking that Apple has something to do with this... bad weather.

 

[matthewhotdude]

I got mine today, considering sending it back, Didnt think the signal problem was as bad as it is, all I have to do is rest it in my left hand to type a text and in seconds it goes to searching

 

[MattZani]

Yeah mine's also delayed due to bad weather, and in a recovery action :/

Dissapointed if its actually gonna delay my iPhone, the delivery date was my birthday lol

 

[Loopy65]

anything i must do to make sure my iphone has none of my details if i am retuning it?

ive taken out the sim card and i restored it so now itunes asks to put in a sim. I havent been shown a set up as new/other phone...

Settings/General/Reset(it's right at the bottom!)/EraseAllContentAndSettings

This will remove all trace of everything Depending how much you have on there it may take a while - it took about an hour with my old 3GS

[ARSC]

Tesco an absolute shambles - be warned. Placed my order on the website tuesday afternoon. Got a confirmation email saying it's been shipped yesterday and was due for delivery today between 7am-7pm. No delivery by 7. Called them up to find out what was going on - turns out there was a problem and someone should have got in touch with me (but never). Very sorry, blah, blah. Didn't waste taking the £334 out of my credit card.

Worrying thing is you can still buy this phone online on their website when there clearly is no stock. If they're this bad to purchase - i can only imagine how bad the network is and customer service. Deals look good but they are an absolute shambles.

Yes, I prefer doing a restore.

[sparkie1984]

In the sun newspaper today their saying that apple will announce their giving free cases away!

I'm taking this with a pinch of salt and I've already bought their bumper and it's scatted my phone!!!!!

 

[Flumps]

Anybody rang Tesco today ?

Their website now says that they aren't selling online and have gave a number to call.

 

[CD3660]

..it's scatted my phone!!!!!

What does that mean?

 

[tirk]

Ouch - front page article today in The Independent

"Is Apple losing its touch? - Crunch time for technology giant as public love affair with brand turns sour"

Also covered on the Today program on Radio 4.

 

[sparkie1984]

What does that mean?

Scratched!!!!! Damn iPhones. Crap dictionary!!!!!

 

[CD3660]

Scratched!!!!! Damn iPhones. Crap dictionary!!!!!

I'd ask for a replacement iPhone. It is unacceptable for an official iPhone case/protector to actually damage the phone. I'd be fuming!
