How big is it in your hand, how about comparing it to some coins or something?

Exeter is mine too. I wouldn't get there later than 5am!! The queues for the 5 will be totally mental. 6am is too late. I know of at least 30 people queuing after the pub closes on Thursday night.

I tried this a week or so ago (just before the iPhone was announced) and had an awful time with the chat representative. Worst case of broken English I've experienced in a long-time and was told they couldn't provide me with a PAC code due to security reasons. When I reminded them I had logged into my account to open the live chat, I was told the security reasons weren't aimed at me, but the staff - i.e. she had no access to my account information. It was the final nail in the coffin for O2 for me.

I did this last night, it took bloody ages, but I did receive my PAC code
 
Wow, that is small!

Got my 5 order in sharpish on Friday thankfully, 0802, but my only regret is not also immediately ordering (separately, to avoid delay to my phone delivery) an extra lighting to USB cable for charging. I ordered one later in the day, but obviously it's relegated to 2-3 weeks delivery. I use three in normal use, two in the house and one in my work bag. Really mustn't lose the one supplied :eek:

I wonder how much stock of the cable the Apple store will have? Equally, I wonder if resellers will have any stock of it? Problem is, I'm working Friday (the wife is at home taking delivery of the phone), so I doubt by 3pm or later any stock will be left.

Listened to them in the store the other day - imho they are still crap. I have a pair of Phillips sports headphones (amongst others) that have absorbed god knows how much sweat and they still sound much better than the new apple headphones.

Haha, I'm not in anyway surprised. Read in another thread someone has actually ORDERED an extra pair separately, WHY?!!!!!

I ordered a 'Lightning to USB' last Thursday, and is supposed to be delivered this Thursday... I don't think I'd be able to cope with only one cable! Good luck with trying to get another!

Has anyone else STILL not even been given a tracking number that works?

Ordered from Orange and was given a number saying Wednesday delivery, phoned and told it was a mistake (what a shock) and would get a new number soon.
No new tracking number.
No order confirmation emails.
Money taken.
Contract started (according to orange automated phone system).

Same, except no incorrect text.
 
I swear with every new iPhone the queue gets earlier, at least where I live.

I've preordered this time, but I queued for the 3G at my local o2, arriving at 0550, front of the queue. Next person arrived at 0600, swiftly followed by a flood of people at 0630.

For the 4 I arrived at the same o2 store at 0530, 4th in line. The hilarious thing was that the two lads at the very front were together, and came at midnight - the next person to arrive was at 0510 lol!

The real trick is nailing the latest time to queue, while aiming to be in the first 10 or so if its a small store that'll only have 20 or so iPhones.

I know. I can live with only having one in the short term, but I'll need to take it to work with me, and it'd be a disaster if I lost it or got swiped! New shiny shiny but nothing to charge it with :mad:
