Bloody foreigners! First they steal our jobs, now they want our iPhones!? Close the borders I say!
Only joking, I seem to recall people from the South traveling to Belfast for iPhones last year too.indeed...that and the fact it will depreciate by another £100 if you keep it until next year means the upgrade really only costs you £30

Yeh, there were early upgrades offered last year but you have to speak to the right person and get lucky, Some are great, some are horrible. It's luck of the draw, but the ip4 wasn't new then, now there's a new model it may not be so forthcoming?
Thanks for the reply.
I'd rather not switch to 3. It's between O2 and Vodafone for me if I'm being honest. So hopefully this HSDPA stuff. Orange would be in the running but they don't have great coverage in my area compared to the others!
My contract with O2 is up for renewal at the end of November - fully intend to sell/recycle my current iPhone 4 (should get about £300) at that time, get a new contract with a 4S and pocket the difference
Despite all the b*tching, the 4S is a solid update to an already good phone. I'll gladly upgrade to it now while my iPhone 4 has some resale value and see what the future holds with the 5 next year (?)

It doesn't work that way. The UK and US markets are totally separate with specific stock for those countries. The US pre-order start time has nothing to do with the UK. Most likely in the UK it will be the same, i.e. 12:00am Thursday night/Friday morning UK time.
Why cant we preorder online for instore pickup this year??
That sucks!
Now i will have to start queing even earlier this year
Regent street or covent garden...hmmm....dont know yet.
Just order online!
I cant because im coming from belgium on launch day and apple dont deliver it over here from the Uk.
I would wait until preorders start on Friday to see if they do what they did last year for collecting instore.
If they don't you are still going to have to queue regardless.

Hello Guys.
So, assume I get lucky and have a swift pre-order agreed online this Fri.
What % is it likely that my phone will be delivered on launch day?
I remember some time ago (iPhone 4) peolpe were getting them quicker by walking into a store.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, they just use HSDPA, been a technology we have been using here in the UK for over 5+ years, most larger cities now have HSDPA+.
I think when i did my iphone4 online it started about 8/9 am in the morning same time a america .
Hope same again don't fancy staying up till midnight
Yes, I spoke to O2 and they said you can pre-order and pick it up from an o2 shop on 14th.
Yeah all the phone companies are advertising iPhone 4S now, just got to wait for Three to provide pre-order information.
Any thoughts on what's happening with the UK 3GS pricing? Is it likely to stick at £20/month (3) or £319 (non-contract)? Seems incredibly high considering it's now two generations old.
does anybody no if apple will let you change your shipping address for the iphone pre order, im at uni in sheffield, and i remember last year some people saying they weren't allowed to have the phone shipped to any address other then the billing address, otherwise im gonna have to go apple store in meadowhall at 3-4am to pick 1 up.
I'ld imagine it will be dropped in price and the 8GB iPhone 4 takes it's place.
