I am hovering over a white one because I have a black 3GS ... But, pretty much everything else tech I own is black, I wear black alot, and I think the black looks sleeker. Until it gets covered in my sticky finger prints that is. Maybe I fancy a colour change .... Maybe I don't. I guess I'll have to see how I feel come ordering time ! I'll probably be so sleep deprived by then that I'll just toss a coin over it. I didn't plan to stay up ad I'm pretty confident 8am is go time, but I've been properly awake since 4 am for some reason. I feel a crash coming on mid morning !

I was under the impression that we could order from 7:01am? But I see 8:01am mentioned. Can anyone confirm which it is?

Wow. Sounds like a pretty decent there. So I can buy the micro sim for £5 and 'load it with £10 credit', and then for only £15 I've got free unlimited internet for a year? Sounds too good to be true.
guys, is HD size really an issue with the advent of iCloud?? or have i misinterpreted what the iCloud is for/about?
That was people getting confused between GMT and BST, it works out as 7.01am GMT, but as we are still BST its 8.01am
iCould backups up some things like Docs and Images and Settings. It doesn't store your Music, Podcasts or Videos. Once iTunes Match becomes available here I suppose you could argue that the Music local storage will be less important.
Im still debating 16 or 32GB. Was going to go with 16GB for the cost but thinking wether 32 would be the more sensible option, especially with the 8MP photos and HD movies.
Time for some breakfast to see me through the final hour

32GB is plenty for 99% of people. With the advent of more streaming services e.g. LoveFilm and iPlayer then local storage matters less. I don't think iCloud backups HD recorded video (just photos) so I suppose you could argue that it needs a certain amount of local storage to be a good camcorder but on a decent-ish camcorder 8Gb = 1 hour (approx) for 1080p30 so its probably less on the iPhone (lower bitrate I assume) so maybe 6GB an hour?
Yep that was my thought. And with having kids, I'm always taking pics and can see more using the camera even more.
Hi,
Does anyone know if Orange are going to be offering pre orders online at all? I'm due an upgrade so want to order through them. I'm hoping it will be this morning! Saw something about them offering it in store today, but don't have one near me so can't get there.
Thanks a lot!

Maybe someone can help but most of us are waiting for the Apple (Subsidy free) version. I am sure they will offer pre-orders (why wouldn't they)?
Up early, cup of tea made, heating on to warm me up, now the waiting begins

Ditto!
However i've had to get up for work anyway lol. if the store goes down and causes all sorts of problems again.. i might be turning up a little late!
this isnt a problem however... my MD is as nutty for apple as me so preordering a new apple product is a more than valid excuse for lateness
I'm quite eager now to just order it.
I'm pleased Apple were straight with us from the start and stated preorder and delivery dates - none of this guesswork or rumour stuff.
