FREE TETHERING! hahaha.
If I wasn't using Virgin 100Mb Fibre Optic, I'd cancel my broadband and just tether
Are you on the one plan or managing to tether on another package? Just asking as I signed up to the one plan for the tethering but thinking of downgrading if tethering is still possible on other plans, thanks.
MINE HAS ARRIVED!
East London - E12 via UPS
Guy said he had around 120 iPhones in his van and because there were so many he is literally only doing 2 postcodes e12/e13 today and practically stopping on every street!
Also said one guy managed to order 10 iPhones!

Faster than EE
EE hasn't enabled their 4G network yet, when thy do EE will offer speeds of up to 40Mbps
ah that sucks, my phone left the UPS warehouse this morning. I heard some people saying that the vans drive to the furthest address away from the depot and work back inwards throughout the day. Not sure if that's true or not though...
I preordered a new phone for She Who Must Be Obeyed, but wasn't bothered about getting one straight away for myself. But when I saw there were only a handful of people waiting outside the O2 store when I was walking to the office, I went in and got myself one.
Now, how do I explain the fact that I have a new phone, but she has to wait until Monday for hers...

I was going to join the line for a new iPhone 5 today, as the one I pre-ordered isn't due to arrive until 1st October. But then this morning the status of my order changed to 'preparing for shipment' and I am no longer able to cancel the order so I can't line up and get one today - gutted. Strange thing is that the estimated delivery date hasn't been changed; thats still 1st Oct.
I really hope Apple haven't just changed peoples order status just to dissuade them from lining up in store then cancelling their order, that would be a mean thing to do to us fan-boys! I'll be SOOOOO ANNOYED if the status stays on 'preparing for shipment' for a week until they finally dispatch it
You could line up to get one today and return your other one when it's delivered for a refund? (Assuming you've ordered unlocked from Apple and you've got the money/credit to pay for both until your refund is processed)
ANYONE in the South West?
Southampton
Been on van from Portsmouth since 720. Can't wait!

man.... people love their iPhones!
Hmmm could do. Whats the process for returning an online order? Do I have to pay for shipping?
Waiting for mine from UKMail - Ordered directly from Apple. CH63 and my girlfriend is waiting for her's at home, also from Apple CH60.
However, my friend has just got his, pre-ordered from o2 via DPD, CH63.
Anyone around Wirral/Liverpool go theirs yet from UKMail Runcorn? Apparently it went out for delivery at 6am! Anytime now I am thinking.

Yep in Runcorn last night and loaded onto "Liam Price's" delivery van at just past 6 this morning - still no sign, so they must be busy. Previous things delivered with them we usually get quite early.

That's what we expected, but in reality it's between 8-12mbps. Says so at the bottom of EE's website.

Well played for reversing your rant
As I said up thread, all these folk are just normal people doing their jobs with the information they have been given. iGadget launches put a massive strain on their systems which are probably just about managing the rest of the time.
