Thanks for your optimism.
I will rest assured. Maybe not on Friday but CPW will be supplying it either way.

They normally do dispatch it with a different courier - their loss of business at the end of the day! Only problem is that you have to spend about 2 days emailing before you can order!
I posted earlier that my brother's Earpods arrived via UKMail, maybe they'll use them for the iPhones too? I'm in Lancashire!
At least my rMBP I ordered on Thursday shipped yesterday.. but expected delivery date for that is 25th Sept!
Apple are killing me!
(btw is there anyway to track deliveries from China as the Apple tracking says it dont have any detail until my items are merged and with my local courier)

I don't think its that they have more 32GB but more a case of most go for 16GB. Thats why if you ordered a 32GB on sat your still more likely to receive on Friday than if you ordered a 16GB on Friday afternoon/evening
My account at Apple says this
I have a bit of a wait still
Did you order 2 phones or 1 phone and something else like a lightning cable. If you ordered something with it then that's why your delivery is delayed. It's waiting for lightning cable/adapter stock. Remove it and you may find it jumps up.
According to Vodafone:
Your order has been selected in the warehouse and is pending dispatch
Email I got after ordering said expected Friday 21st delivery. *rubs hands*

It's not delayed. I ordered at around 4pm after I realised I was going to leave O2 and get a SIM only from 3. By then pre-orders for the 32GB was '2-3 weeks'. I took the hit and will need to be patient. Might be a slim chance it comes a little earlier? 2 weeks from the 14th is the 28th surely so not sure why it's 2nd to the 8th. 5th should be the latest as that 3 weeks from the 14th.
Vodafone nano-sim arrived this morning after ordering on Friday over the phone (the lad I ordered from was excellent, very clued up). New customer on a 30 day contract.
No adapter though. I ordered one from an ebay seller called computestore who was very slow to respond to messages and didn't send the adapter until today despite me ordering and paying for it on the 13th.
I'm exactly the same. Did you have to wait for you email with account and new phone number to get the nano sim? I don't have this yet but do have my pac code from O2 but chatted to Vodafone today on livechat and they couldn't order me one
Sounds like there is a misunderstanding somewhere along the line....
So are you saying then, in your opinion, that sims are basically non-network specific, and if you laid your hands on a a nano-sim from somewhere, then you could in theory port/transfer your existing number onto it regardless of your network provider ie. 3/O2/Vodafone etc?
Yep.
October 1st, Thinking about queueing up at the apple store around 6am, to get it on release date, maybe cancel the order whilst in line
Pants. I've had nothing from Voda.
What size did you go for? I went for 64GB.
Darn, I ordered as soon as the preorder went up on their site.
managed to do a quick download test on Three's 3G and I managed to get close to 6mb download.. and that was indoors!
If they keep that up I will be seriously impressed.. I know they were pretty flakey when they were first on the scene so avoided them but now with their prices and unlimited data they're gonna be hard to beat

Right, I've put the new Three nano-SIM into my 3GS with the adaptor. The phone just says "No Service" - should something have happened? How long should Three's activation take?
With 3, It took my girlfriend's and my sim card about 8 hours or so. They should have told you it can take anything up to 48 hours.
Just keep your original sim in until you lose signal or can't make a call, then switch
I ordered from 3's website early this afternoon - according to the site it'll arrive on Friday. Do you guys think this is likely?
Would be sad if it didn't, but will be getting £101 cashback, so happy even if I have to wait (not too long obviously)

o2 have had a nightmare getting it together for this release with information. How one company can have some many different things coming out of it is unbelievable.
Anyways, got the nano sim yesterday and have set it up this evening. Using the texting service, literally took 10 minutes for it to swap over. So my iP4 is marrily using the nano sim awaiting the 5

Did mine online last night. Thought it was quick and simple. Then tonight I called them as it still hadn't gone through. Did it over the phone and it transferred in 5 minutes.
Oh! Glad that's the case - I was expecting something instant! I've been on O2 and had my 3GS far too long!
