Must be where we've ordered to. I live I'm Aberdeen also but asked them to dispatch to my work in Fraserburgh
Great; Thanks. Think I was a little bit after that. Good to hear that things are moving.
Another benefit of iTunes match. It upgrades all your songs to 256kbps AAC DRM free. So I had a load of CD's I ripped a 128. You just delete them off your hard drive and re-download them from the cloud in the higher quality.
Search google for some great guides on how to update your library. Be warned though, it replaced my songs with explicit lyrics with clean ones. I tell ya, Ludracris's Get Back just aint the same.

Should do. Sounds like messages are being sent out, although at what rate and in what order I don't know. I'd imagine there'll be a flurry of such messages over the next few hours.
Yep! Getting the CPW shipment and O2 change of tarriff notifications in quick succession has given me the warm fuzzies.
Interesting
Im in Aberdeen too, and the people in the office here who ordered at the same time are all in the same boat too.
Had that same email yesterday around 10am. I ordered over the web. They took the payment (which is now showing on statement) a couple of days ago.
No we have to play the delivery game with Yodel which won't be pleasant!
You must be really lucky, finally managed to find time for the call, All I get is sorry we don't know the status of your order, I think we're getting stock in on Friday. and obviously the within 30 days speech
Useless
Yep - but think of the WIN if you BOTH CPW and Yodel come through.
Never gonna happen in my lifetime
A note for people who are getting their iPhone 5 from O2 30% friends & family discount - got of the phone with my friend who works at the O2 head office told me that they will get the phones on Friday and will be delivered next day. So only 1 day wait. Hope this helps out anyone
Sort of regret not ordering 32GB instead of 16GB... could order through CPWH who say 21st Delivery still... however I'm not hopeful.
Get itunes match and just keep all your music in the cloud. Will save a load of space.
Depends how much you listen to, keep the ones you most listen to and stream the others.
How do you know this? Did you call them? I'v been depressing myself because its not sent yet
iTunes match automatically downloads the song to your device when you initiate streaming, making it pointless. It also rapes your battery, especially when outside of wifi range.
In real world use, you'd get a few hours of music before it dies, and thats providing you have an unlimited data contract.
Hey everyone,
Did anyone pre-order in-store from Three? I was in 9am on the 14th but I'm a little anxious now as I've not heard anything since. Might pop in today to see if they know anymore. They did say they'll contact me before the 21st but I work in retail and I realise how much these guys will probably be left in the dark, unfortunate as they were amazingly nice with me.
On a side note, I've been with 3 since the iPhone 4 launched with them and I've been nothing but pleased. Unlimited data really has been unlimited (trust me I've chewed through several months of relying on the personal hotspot for my main net data and they never have whined at me once) and my signal has been strong and quick, if anyone was on the fence, I would heartily recommend (after getting the siganl checked out in your area, obviously)

A lot of us have been through multiple Apple product launches. This is just the way they do things.
