Mine is back at the depot, and today my existing phone (not an iPhone) has been the worst I've ever known it to be... I really can't wait to get my iPhone 4S!
Got a tip for us?

Picked up a 64 and a 32 from Apple West Quay today at 1pm without even queuing. No 16s or whites left at that point, but still remarkably simple. Picked up a couple of tesco microsims for now and job done.

Yeah I'm in the same situation with O2, I tried to swap my number a second time using their website and they said they were on it, so I'm satisfied they'll get round to itThe carriers will all be having a busy day so it's understandable, although after waiting for the phone it's a bit annoying to have another wait to use it.
I upgraded from a 3GS on 3 to a 64GB 4S on 3 today so have been through the microsim thing...
I did the three.co.uk/microsim request at midday and the phone became active at 4:30pm ish. I did tweet @threeuk to see how long it usually takes (ironically just before it all activated) and they said it was usually instant and to tweet @threeuksupport if I had problems
HTH
cheers guys
my microsim didn't come with a phone number, i rang 3 and they just took my phone number and account details and said it would take 24 hours!
I've tweeted @threeuksupport but think they are shut/stopped posting now
just hope when i wake up its activated, if not i won't be happy!
will be the first issue I've had with 3 for many years now
just a quick advice for sim swap .... o2 ot is best to call them and give them
your details than do it online (",) based on my experience coz it might say processing online but really it hasn't gone thru.... I first did my sim swap online then waited six hrs.. then rang o2 and they told me that it hasn't gone thru so they asked for my details and it only took an hour and job done !!! woot woot BTW did anyone notice that we can't even turn off 3g anymore like we used to on 3gs?? sorry for the silly question (",)
im still exploring

Siri is pretty funny. I told her I loved her and she said that I hardly know her. Went on to ask her to marry me and she replied 'Lets just be friends, OK?'
Seems the programmers went for some novelty value as well as functional.
Good stuff
To get a woman do you have to change it to English (United States) AND speak with an American accent? lol.
Also my O2 number transfered onto my Microsim about an hour ago. Siri is amazing

Yeah the English (North America) is the Siri voice from the Apple adverts. Theres an Australian Siri too, which is also a female voice, but I prefer the USA one TBH. Not sure about changing accents, I have a deep glaswegian accent, so I need to speak a little more 'properly' to have Siri recognise my voice anyway.
One cool little feature that I noticed was text shortcuts. Basically you can add shortcuts such as OMW > On My Way, so that whenever you type OMW, it will change it to On my way. That may have been available on iOS4, i'm not sure, but its a nice feature nonetheless.
Well Yodel delivered my iPhone at around 11am this morning. Really enjoyed using it. Such an upgrade on my 3GS. Love Siri, so fast it's incredible, screen looks amazing. So pleased with it. And I have gone the first day case free and think that is how it might stay. Love the feel of it.

Thought tethering was only allowed on The One Plan? Might be enabled, but whether its allowed......Didn't realise but I love the fact my £10 a month 3 sim allows for wifi tethering
Ah well, it works out that - once you've allowed for the cost of the phone - I'm only paying just over £10pm on my 24 month contract. Whenever I can actually get the phone
(Monday probably)
Question guys
will i be able to take out my iphone 4 sim and put it in the 4s with no need to activate it?

They give you £10credit if u keep your old number

Coventry garden got sold out by Friday 3pm call them when store opens to see if they got delivery

No.
You have to activate.but you don't need wires/USB as it should come with ios 5 if you follow instructions (simple)
Quick question (I found a way round, but perhaps not the quickest). Is there a way to find out the iPhone's MAC address before you activate it? The iPhone 4S asks to join your WiFi network as part of activation, and mine is set up with MAC filtering (I just switched it off temporarily). I tried activating over 3G first, but being with GiffGaff you need to change the network APN settings to enable 3G data....which requires you to be activated!.
I assume, though I didn't try it, that I could have activated via iTunes as we used to too.
