sounds like you're thinking of Regional locking on DVD drives! no, it won't be locked into the first network forever. It's forever unlocked.

Well maybe this lady was a bit special and said to me NO Iphone 5 from 02 has been posted yet, ALL will get posted tomorow. So I am not sure what to belive.
If you read my post a couple of pages back, call them up and ask for the Royal Mail tracking number, if you have one then your phone will arrive tomorrow before 1pm special delivery.
Got an email, in the email it has a link to track which takes you to DPD website. Still says, Awaiting Receipt of Parcel though, so not quite on the move yet.
OK thanks. I'll give it a go, if not ill try phoning 150 and play the game to see if i can get the money back.
I phoned a local-ish store who said the nano sims they have aren't activating at the moment. Only realised when i hung up that i've known the guy my entire life and should have asked if he could sort me out with a sim tonight seeing as he only lives down the road
Just throw in my 2 pence. Just got off of the phone to 3. They couldn't give me any information except telling me over and over that I'll get a text tomorrow. Slightly disconcerting. What number did other people use? Not that it really matters I suppose. He said to ring again tomorrow morning to be given a consignment number.
I Pre-ordered my 32GB iPhone 5 from CPW, I know it's on the way due to Orange disconnecting my current iPhone 4 sim card as they've already done the sim swap to the new nano sim.... which is in the post...
I'm now totally confused.
I've got one 64Gb black phone on pre-order that i was told would take 3 weeks. o2 twitter now says that ALL pre-orders will be delivered tomorrow.
i am also upgrading another contract i have for my son. there was no pre-order left by the time i got the date sorted out (they messed up)
The prices IN STORE are different. some are higher, some are lower.
it makes no sense.
I've ever seen o2 have different prices for iPhone launches. and there is no consistency either
for e.g. a 32Gb black iPhone on a £26 ppm contract
online £299
in store £359
though some combinations work out cheaper.
thanks o2 for the clarity!

Three Tracking
You could try going to this website, http://www.dpd.co.uk/service/tracking and near the bottom look for "Show Advanced" when you click that there is the option to track by "Notification Email and Postcode" or "Notification Number and Post Code". If I put email or the phone number I gave to 3 when ordering it brings my package up.

If your parcel is in tamworth and you're in Northern Ireland I doubt very much you'll get it tomorrow. Monday sounds right

Looking good for you, mine still not showing up on UPS tracking.
ooooo... bad luck, if CPW orders are coming by *****ty Link then no one who ordered from there will be getting a phone anytime soon...
outrageous comment.
Woo Hoo
Have just had a call from the Three store I pre-ordered with on Saturday.
They just wanted to confirm that I am still coming in to pick up my phone and have said it's there waiting now.
He told me they'd had about 50 delivered and that they wouldn't have any problems fulfilling all the orders they took in the first weekend.
Am very happy now. Have been waiting all day for this call and was dreading them telling me that they haven't got enough for all the customers.
Now is this scary or what. I was just reading this and thought when are 3 going to phone me ha then my phone rang haha it was them
.Same above getting mine tomorrow been booked in at 10.20 think i might walk by the apple store and show it off Location Date Local Time Activity

Mine too
You a Londoner?Just got off the phone to them now. They said it has been picked in the warehouse..but couldn't give me a tracking number just yet. However she did say its highly unlikely it won't arrive tomorrow, unless Royal Mail screw up!
I was on the phone with them this morning and was told I couldn't get a tracking number, but if i got an email today it would be coming tomorrow. Have had an email from everybody except the cpw. (even a text to ask how their service was) I had only placed my order yesterday and got me worried when they couldn't find my order only to see that my name was spelt wrong. In the end its in a warehouse waiting to be picked and should get by tuesday at the latest, (good as only ordered yesterday and black ones are on back order till the 9th now!)
Hey, for those being delivered by Syncreon/UKMail, you can type in your reference number from apple on the ukmail website and you get basic details there. If you get your consignment number from ukmail once in, you can put it in the advanced tracker here http://www.business-post.com/scripts/wsisa.dll/ws_quickpod.html and get more in depth information.
I live in zone 2 up in the north of Scotland. I preordered from Apple but won't get mine until 24th. UPS tracking says so. So spare a thought for us. You would have thought Apple would have just sent ours via Royal Mail Special Delivery. It would be here by tomorrow surely. Enjoy your phones.
UKMail and dispatching is commencing tomorrow and they say up to 30 days for delivery
Perfect! I'll keep trying. Gives me something to do other than refreshing Macrumors and my email! - Unfortunately it's just coming up with orders from earlier in the year at present. Must be my sisters addiction to ASOS. Pfft.
