yes, that one.. don't change any other options or dates.. just input your 8.. number..
The data speed will potentially double on the iPhone 5. It had "DC-HSPA+" (or something like that) which the 4S currently doesn't have, and when I went from iPad 2 to iPad 3, the speed as good as doubled.
UPS is going well!

Make sure your using your Order number (beginning with 'W'). As the second number. Ignore the additional tracking number at the top.
The number beginning with 8, then the number beginning with W
I put my tracking number into UKMail site and it's come up with my details. Consignment number etc.......

From past experience of working at CPW mate, they won't be able to let you pick up today, as they won't be able to 'close' the sale on the system.
They'll need to close it before allowing you to take the phone.
Me too. Well, for one of the two I have on order anyway.
Both Black 64Gb
No text or email though.

That's weird, my tracking number is 10 digits long? Go to Apple.com, track your order, then use the tracking reference from there.
Should work.
Wicked, been trying all day and nothing worked. Tried it the way you suggested and it tell me the shipping labels hasn't been created yet. However I phoned Apple and they said the items won't start properly tracking until tomorrow morning. But they said not to worry it would defo arrive tomorrow.
Well an update after ordering for phones4u as an upgrade on o2.
Phones4u say:
Everything is ready, and my phone will be despatched tonight for delivery tomorrow but by Special Delivery Royal Mail and i was given a tracking number, but told that until its actually on its way nothing will appear. Been told there should be no reason why I wont get it tomorrow.
o2 say :
I can see myo2 has updated to show my new contract and renewal date etc and the order appears as 'complete' when i click it though i get a blank screen.
First person - They said that o2 are sending my phone out and that it will be 5 days before it gets delivered. And that it has been despatched to a carrier, but a carried hasnt been designated. I said thats ridiculous and wanted a tracking number. I was told it hasnt been allocated.
Second person - apologised for the mis-information and that its actually phones4u who send out the phone and that i should listen to what they say, o2 are just doing the contract and they have no details on the phones delivery.
Not sure who to beleive now! Anybody else in this predicament?

It's a solid one....
Mobile Fun have quite a lot of different ones in stock or coming into stock in the cominng days. I don't work for them by the way but they could be nice and give me commission!
Well, the earlier you go, the more likely you are to get one. When I went to the iPhone 4 launch at the Apple Store, I left at about 04:00 and got there at about 05:00, and I was already number 30-something in the queue.
I'd say: if you don't mind losing some sleep, and you've got good enough bladder control, then just as early as you can! I believe the retail stores open at 08:00. If so, I would aim to get there at 06:00 at the latest. The worst that can happen is that you're first in the queue...which isn't a bad thing at all!
I swear the EE companies are the most useless at keeping customers up to date, all the other carriers actually let customers know what'g going on.
I would say Orange still has an edge over T-Mobile (who I've gone with)
As you actually get a tracking website!
