I called up the business dept in my local apple store. The guy who answered knew me and my company from a previous purchases. He kept a 32gb white aside for me. I picked it up later that day. I don't know whether it was because the guy knew me or I was a business customer or both.
Got a tip for us?

Got my email through at 8:32pm, 32GB White SIM-Free reserved at the Buchanan Street, Glasgow store
How many times did you try?
I'm going up to Scotland tomorrow and it's seeming like Glasgow is maybe a good bet..

Got a successful reservation!
At Glasgow Braehead Apple Store for 16GB black SIM-free. E-mail arrived at 8:32.
Have been trying for about two weeks now, both for Braehead and Buchanan street, although this is my 3rd or 4th attempt for Braehead - relied more on Buchanan.
Hope you all get yours soon!

3rd day of trying. I am not a lucky person, but I got a confirmation to one of my emails at about 8:30pm tonight.
Some helpful details:
1. 6-10 different IP's per day
2. Different email/name to each IP
3. Each "user" made a reservation for white AND black 16GB iPhones in ALL following shops:
London, White City
London, Regent Street
London, Brent Cross
London, Covent Garden
London, Stratford City
Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes
Watford, The Harlequin
Grays, Essex, Lakeside
Greenhithe, Kent, Bluewater
Kingston upon Thames, Bentall Centre
Reading, The Oracle
Bromley, The Glades
The successful reservation was made for Bluewater at about 10:20am, so definitely NO first come first serve basis, as my other "users" reserved iPhones in ALL shops at 9:00, 9:30 etc
And you can at least try as much shops as you want everyday!
Good luck!!!

Finally!!! Preparing for shipment!!!!
Maybe I will get it in time for the weekend! :-D
Mine went into Preparing yesterday and is being delivered today by UK Mail.
I've been pacing the house since 8am!
Looks a bit cheaty. Anyway, how do you get the reservation with a different name. I don't have so many friends willing to follow me to the AS
Nice one!
I'm WFH today and have relocated from my office to the lounge so I can see the UK Mail van when it pulls up!
