So I just called the Bullring and apparently you can't just go in and buy a sim free iPhone 5. You have to reserve them online.

Well, ****.
 
Hasn't that always been the case ?

I didn't know. I've been trying to reserve all week & thought I'd just give them a call.

Just take my money god damnit! I bet all the people that queued for hours on release got their sim free ;)

Well, yes.

But as you say, they got up and went and queued, if you had done the same you would also already have one ;)

Would only have been one early morning on the 21st......
 
Mine says it has shipped and I should get it by 12th. Also coming via UPS, thought ukmail delivered it.

Anyway i am happy :D
 
Shipped!!!

I just logged into Order Status and it now says Shipped!!! Should I get my hopes up for a possible Monday delivery??? (original delivery estimate from Apple was 9 oct - 15 oct)

You can track it, anyway I'd say it will get delivered on Monday if it has been shipped via UPS

Can you get on contract iPhones in apple stores or just unlocked ones?
 
My iPhone shipped

Ordered Sept 18th. Estimation given for Oct 10-16. Shipped today. Estimated date of delivery October 12th.
 
Mines shipped but says as the guy's above 12th subject to change, it's with UPS, I thought once they had it its pretty much next day delivery? Is there not a chance it will be with me Monday or Tuesday?
