Morning everyone, iPhone virgin here! Excited! but I have work at 9 so I'll be trying up until 8.30 and then if not successful, I'll be back on it in work at 9.10 or so .. here's hoping!

If I don't get it ordered today - I guess I have to go queue up :eek::(

Third time around here, this preordering game is old hat now :) Best of British with your pre-order.
 
seems like I only really get back on the forums the few days before a release! last time I was here was the iPad 2 launch.

anyone gonna use the 2% cashback on quidco?
 
I'm on a grandfathered unlimited monthly rolling contract with O2. As soon as EE comes out here I'll switch (assuming the plans aren't insanely priced). I was very happy when I saw the city I live in on their 2012 list!

Hopefully they will have some good deals for existing orange and tmobile customers
 
Is it impossible to order from the US store and have it delivered to the UK? Could save you over £100.

It is impossible, unless you use something like Bundlebox. Apart from the fact that you'll get the wrong iPhone model, and off contract iPhones won't be initially available.

good point, in that I'll go thru a Nectar link..
 
But will there be EE 4G sim only deals when it all goes live?!

They would be foolish not to. Think how many more people they can steal from other networks with SIM only plans to put in current phones. They will take as big of an advantage of their headstart as they can. OFCOM made the wrong decision competition wise, and EE will make use of that. As long as they don't screw us on price I'm happy.

I was on Quidco there and it said excluding iPhone 5 ..

However Topcashback have 3% for all online purchases ... no mention of not including iPhone 5

Does quidco work on pre-orders? I'm tempted to use the apple store app to pre order after the joke last year. I ordered 6x iPhone 4s and my card had £3k held on it. Don't want that happening again.
 
*yawn* sooo sleepy...

6mins feel like 6 yrs away. Hopefully its less of a headache than previous times.

I had 8 iPhone orders. They kept getting cancelled. Then one did go through, and the rest of them became active again.

These were 32GB iPhones as well.
 
Just called my bank to let them know I'm putting a large transaction through on my credit card, and the chap immediately asked if it was going to be payable to Apple, for about £600 :D
