The orders from late on the 7th have started shipping today, you'll be waiting a few days yet I think.
I ordered the black 16GB and mine is still preparing...maybe it depends on where you live? Seems improbable but meh.
Thanks, working now!
Went to a 3 store and was told they couldn't help me. They sent me to the Apple Store. The guy there said that he was aware of the issue, but Apple couldn't help me. So I went back to another 3 store, spoke with someone more helpful, explained what you explained. He sent me off to get a micro-SIM adapter (£5 for a tiny piece of plastic!), popped my SIM in some Android phone and made a call (didn't change any settings). SIM went back in my iPhone and was still showing the wrong number. He reset settings and still no good. I said I'd try an iTunes sync when I got home. Got home, took out my phone, checked the number again, and it had magically changed to the correct one
Glad you got it sorted, and sounds as if i at least sort of pointed you in the right direction if nothing else.
To be honest, it seems to me that an issue like this must be pretty common, and I'm amazed that neither 3 or Apple could help you.
Where are these iPhones even shipping from?
Hopefully the UK and we might be in luck tomorrow... Then again, mine is still preparing for shipment, so anything's possible

Advice please!
Hi all,
he situation I have is that I am currently in dispute with Carphone/O2 over cancelling an upgrade I ordered over the phone from Carphone Warehouse.
I pre ordered the 4S for delivery on launch day, due to CPW not addressing the package correctly the phone reach Yodel's central depot, then went no further.
When I found this out (around 2pm on the 14th) I was advised by Carphone Warehouse that they would need to investigate why this happened, which could take 2 or 3 days then attempt to get the phone delivered to me. I then responded by requesting to cancel my order. They agreed and said they would request the package back from Yodel, then when received (mon 17th or tuesday 18th) they would cancel my order.
I received confirmation that they had received the phone back today and had sent request off to O2 to reverse the upgrade. I enquired when the payment I made would be refund, the payment was for the handset cost and the fast track/early upgrade cost. They advised that they would refund handset payment but I would need to liase with O2 regarding the fast track upgrade fee being returned.
I then contacted O2, who not only advised me that they would not refund any payments, they also stated that fast track upgrades came with no cooling off period. As I purchased over the phone, I'm sure this is against the distance selling regulations, as they state that the consumer has a 7 day cooling off period.
Carphone Warehouse already have the phone, so as they have accepted the return, I believe this will help my case, hopefully.
Sorry for the essay, I would appreciate any advice if you have any experience in a case like this, or a full understanding of any exceptions to this law.
Thanks
