Picked up my iPhone 4 from Regent Street this morning. Paid cash. No problems. By the way, I was on the reservation list. I am not sure when they will be able to attend to walk-ins.
Got a tip for us?

When did you order your bumper? Just ordered mine today. The email Apple sent says to expect the bumper in Sept. Do you think it may come much earlier?
Ordered mine on the first day they were available, so the 23rd. Took a week to get here from date of order to delivery. Mine did orignally say delivery in september, so I'd say it's a dead cert it'll come earlier.
I bought my iPhone today in Eldon Square. I put the cash onto a gift card and used it right away for the phone. As far as I am aware, cash cannot be refused. I'm fine jumping through the gift card hoop if it means I can use cash. It is the first Apple product that I've had to go through this hoop for though.
Oh and I needed to show my photo ID. Don't know how people manage to pawn off reservations.
Cash as it is legal tender cannot be refused, though Scottish and Northern Irish notes can be as they are not legal tender.
Also it's nice to know that there is another Geordie, or atleast someone from the North East on here.
Isn't that only in the case of a debt?
Seeing as you don't owe Apple anything they don't have to accept cash... right?
Hi
I have the exspect flip case and have been very happy with it http://www.amazon.co.uk/Exspect-Lea...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1280506443&sr=1-3
just ordered one from noreve tho which I loved for my e-reader
Found this noreve one which is pretty nice to be honest. A bit on the pricey side though. Let me know what yours is like when it comes.
On the Exspect case, how do you find the holes for the camera and flash, because I know a few people have had trouble with it?

I am a geordie too, I have rang eldon square up a few times but kept getting told to go on a priority list which im not going to bother with... I have asked another person on here who said they got theres from eldon if they had to do this but they never replied...
could be old news but..
For anyone still waiting in northern Ireland, just spoke to a guy at the apple store who told me that the Waiting list for the iPhone 4 is no more, they're not taking any more names. From now on it's a case of taking your chances and walking in or calling the store in the morning.

I'll be getting my from elsewhere, as it's a contract and there is phone shops closer to me so I don't have to go all the in to Toon.
No, it's for all item that are for sale, if they are priced and you offer them legal tender then they have to take it from you.
Yes you do!
Picked up two SIM-free phones yesterday (different stores) and in both instances I left with the phones still sealed.
No, it's an invitation to treat and they can refuse to sell to whoever they want to.
This, they reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone.
Your statutory rights are not affected ;-)
I'd like to know this as well
when i got my iPhone 4 on launch day, it was left sealed
all he did was, fill some details in, took payment and i left with an iphone 4 untouched
Not that it should make any difference, but this was at the Apple Southgate (Bath) store
That's interesting/disturbing.
I have a gear4 case on my 3g (that's the one with the gear tread pattern right?)and really like it. Out of the IP4's I have played with in Apple/O2 shops I only see the signal drop when my finger bridges the seam gap thus bridging the two antenna.
But you seem to indicate the phone drops signal just when you pick it up with the rubber jacket on?
When I held a naked phone without bridging the gap nothing happened.
Have you thought about taking the phone back to the shop and demoing this?
Same here..I'm on orange too and live in area with low reception. Also lose signal with the case on.(the case is some next product from the asian corner in tooting broadway)..I really don't know what to do?
How long to port from o2 to Vodafone?
Set up new contract Thursday morning, was told 48 hours to port number but Monday morning now and nothing. Please please don't make me ring customer services again!!!
Anyone else done this and how long did it take?

I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago and was told September, it was delivered on Saturday morning.
So i would expect it to get to you a bit earlier.
