Spoke to 3 store in Newcastle this morning about my preorder. They will have them in no problem for friday release!!:):D:)

glad to hear it.. I ordered mine with 3 on Sunday over the phone and the rep also told me it'll be with me this Friday .. I sold my old IP4 so I hope I get the shipping notification tomorrow so I can actually ship it :)
 
Well you said that people can walk into an Apple store on launch day and get one so it's not unreasonable for online orders to be delivered by launch day.

No I didn't.

I'll try again. Try reading it slowly if it helps.

IF people are getting shipments from other sources, and people are going into Apple stores and buying iPhones then some people who have preordered will complain if they don't get theirs on launch date.

That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying that they are right to complain. I'm not saying that anyone is guaranteed to be able to buy one from the Apple store. If you think that I am saying anything else then I'm afraid that is just in your head and there's nothing I can do about that.
 
Orange have just tweeted that their preorders will be despatched Tomorrow for Friday delivery.
!!!! Where you seeing this? Been searching for the Orange network twitter and only seem to be able to find there Films/gossip etc..

Cheers
 
Spoke to orange and got cut off :(

He said something about my tariff wont work on an iphone, calls and texts will work... but the data wont :/

i asked what the difference was with the two plans!

Change plans then?? What was his response.. ??
 
Ordered mine direct from Apple online at 9:04 on onsale day.

Had them money debited instantly out of my account, but now its gone back into the bank and still not has come out again :( Items still says processing on my order.

Losing hopes for Friday....

As others have said, this is just a check to make sure you have the funds at the time of purchase. The bank will reissue this money after a few days, then the actual debit will be made when the phone ships.

I am cautiously optimistic of a Friday arrival :)

Yep, your money will be held for 3 days then released, then it will be taken again, most likely tomorrow. Then your (and everyone elses) orders will be updated!

Keep the faith!
 
Just checked my email history, last year i got an email from Apple on 23/06/2010 saying it had shipped my iPhone4, it arrived on 24/06/2010, ie next day...

Keep Calm and Carry On .... Apple won't let you down
