Hey, I have one at Sheffield if that's any help 
An hour or two away but stops you having to wait for O2!
An hour or two away but stops you having to wait for O2! Are you being serious? I was speaking to the manager in there on Tuesday because of the long waiting times. He told me not to worry as they definitely aren't selling with a reservation. He also said it could take anything up to 3 weeks.
I'm not sure because I got my iPhone at launch and I was just in to get another Airport Express, but I was looking at iMacs and I heard a conversation between a customer and an employee that went approximately as follows:
Customer: Do you have any iPhone 4s?
Employee: Only in black. 16 or 32?
Customer: 32
Employee: contract or sim free?
Customer: Vodafone contract
Employee: Yes we do, take a seat - I need to get some details from you...
That was when I left, but the guy seemed to walk straight in and ask the employee. I didn't hear him ask about a reservation, but then I didn't try and get one myself so I can't be sure if they were available. He might have already shown someone else his reservation and then been passed on or something. Still, it's worth trying if you are desperate to get one.
How can they do that knowing that there are thousands of people on the waiting list? Blood boils
same here was in one of the bristol stores buying a new ipod case,exactly the same....in fact i was right behind the chap....straight up to a helper or whatever they are called..
"im after a iphone4"
"which one sir"
"the 4..32gb in black if you have any?"

"sim free please...got any white ones..LOL"
"only black sir..."
"ok..thanks"
5 mins later he walked out with one.....

I've been waiting for O2 to start selling them on PAYG but fed up of waiting for that now.
