Hi all,
Anyone upgrade with orange and got their phone today or some kind of promise of it today?

Also, has anyone at all on orange been delivered their phone?

I felt exactly the same as you, but I received a text this morning saying it was out for delivery friday (i assume that means today as I checked UKMail and its in Swansea about an hour away.)

I ordered 8.10 on friday. Will update you with if it actually comes or not.

Black just looks a lot smarter, white is nice but id says its more of manly thing to go black

 

[BestMate]

Mine was delivered at 8:50 this morning, shame I'm in work until 14:30
you just know these next few hours will drag like mad, I just want to get home and start playing with it

 

[lellis2k]

well my Borderlands 2 arrived so at least I have something to kill time until I inevitably give up hope and go get a beer. Still no text from Orange

Dear log,

It is precisely 10:08 and I am beginning to give up hope. My mind still wonders in awe but hope and prevalence is all I have. I am starting to see hallucinations of this so-called mythical creature know as "postman".

I fear it is too late for me but hope others succeed.

Genius!

I'm actually starting to get really annoyed with T-Mobile and if I didn't really want to phone, I would've cancelled and gone somewhere else by now.

Went to tmobile store monday 'Yup you'll definatly get it on release day as you ordered before 10 on pre-order day.' Okay awesome. Then 'Oh wait, because you're 18 there's almost no chance of you being accepted for the credit check so you won't get it.'

Three days later 'Oh good news you've been accepted!'

So I rang up wednesday night and the woman told me I'd definatly get a confirmation text 24 hours before official release to update me on the order. That never happened.

Rang up last night and she said that my package was due out within a few hours and they will text me with the order number when it does. That never happened either.

So now I'm left with no knowledge of whether or not I'll get it today. Does anyone know if UKMail drop off at royal mail postoffices if you're not in? I won't be there to collect it today if it does come.

Anybody else having this problem? If I don't get a text by lunch I'll ring them up.

im on virgin contact how did you cut down to nano sim?

Very carefully with a sharp blade, Basically had to trim the end of the metal off, but this is just a contact plate and does not affect the plate if you do it right.

No need to adjust the thickness.

Used the template from here:

Direct apple order arrived just now in Flintshire via UK Mail

 

[Nieval]

While we're waiting, what's the consensus on tipping the delivery guy? Was debatable when I was in the States and they love tipping.

Which village?

UPS sucks. They give you a 10 hour window. I dont care what time they bring it, I just want to know so Im not always looking out the window.
