Yes.
Out of interest what time are you thinking about getting there? I'd be waiting there too, but I'm going to either O2 or Carphone in L1, can't decide which yet though.

Guessing the micro sim is still the same so if you have the 4 you can just slot it into the new phone.
Well, I've not been to any Apple stores on a day of release before. I was thinking about 6-7am? Store opens at 8am. You're definitely not allowed to camp in L1 so I'm not sure. What do you think?
There might be a queue outside of the building. I think you should be alright.
My friend waited outside the Apple Store in L1 for the iPad 2 for a ridiculous amount of hours (over 12), and was first in the queue aha! Last year I got to the O2 shop in Aintree at around 5:30AM, and there were people in front of me then. May venture in at around 4AM...don't know if that's wise though... :/
I'm hoping to get to the Leicester store for about 4:30AM. I'm hoping that's early enough to gaurenty getting a 4S. any of you guys had experience of this before? I'd love to set out a bit later if I could 
I imagine they'll have a good few hundred in L1 and they allow what, 2 iPhones per person usually? I can't imagine more than a hundred people being there before 6-7am? Or am I deadly wrong? lol
Lets see
I am planning to come Leicester store around 6 in the monrning.... do you think i have the probability to get an iPhone 4s

I'm sure someone started queuing yesterday....I'm getting into town for about 4:30-5, and I already have a phone with my name on it aha
Silly question but why does everyone seem to be contract free in Europe, are cell phone plans that expensive or is it that you get tied to a 2-3 year contract?
I use AT&T in the US and it is way cheaper phone cost wise to get on a 2 year contract with them, then buy the phone for $750 unlocked and contract Free?

Can't speak for the rest of Europe but in the UK iPhone contracts are ridiculously expensive compared to EVERY other phone. As for many people buying it sim free here in the UK you can get great sim only deals and overall it mostly does work out a hell of a lot cheaper if you go down that route.
