Not quite all Asian! Not a lot of English being spoken and they all seem to know each other. Lots of place saving as well.

Place saving? Hell no, you need to pull them out buddy

Yeah. Came out about 20 mins ago and said no phones today and no delivery expected tomorrow. Advised a lie in! No such announcement at regent street as yet.

There starting to get greedy now. I've been watching the ebay auctions for all those around Milton Keynes. The gold ones are going for only slightly above cost price, once you factor in ebay feed they are loosing. Funnily enough the guy re-listed it :rolleyes:

All grey are ending without a winning bidder.

32gb grey buy it now is still available. No offers. But even if he did sell at that he's making a loss. Looks like things are turning sour for them. Especially since online orders are shipping.

I can see a few phones bought yesterday being returned now.

Gold is the only one turning a profit and even that's minimal.
 
Ordered through O2 around 08:43 on launch day - item arrived yesterday with 4G as well.

Those are the speeds from South London, my three 3G simcard is not too far off of this. Will do a central London test in due course ...

Had a look at recently sold, they still look like they are turning a profit to me.

The ones that aren't look like scams.

Let me know mate, I'm going to head over to Trafford in around an hour but think Arndale opens earlier so I'll shoot over there if they have any stock

Yeah no worries but I'm not leaving till around half 8, Trafford Centre doesn't open till 9 and Apple Store at 10. Think the Arndale Apple Store opens at 9 though so you should know about stock there before I know about stock at Trafford, I'll keep you posted though mate and vice versa
 
Still no movement on my 32gb Silver ordered at 12.00am through the app. Feel like I'm missing out :-(

Tempted to head to Trafford myself

How do you know it's coming from apple direct?
Can it be tracked at all... On O2 business and don't have order reference sadly :(

O2 orders aren't from apple direct. I just meant for any O2 customers ordered through O2 OR anyone who's using O2 network with an apple ordered iPhone needs to get a new 4g compatible sim

Only people who know where ur phone is are O2 if u ordered it from them

What time you thinking of heading over there?

Not sure to be honest I'm going away this afternoon for the weekend, plus Trafford is about 45mins away, and the store isn't open until 10am... I might be pushed for time if there is a queue.

Not bad, I've just left o2 due to their poor 3G coverage over the past 10 years. Hope they do better with the 4G coverage

At Arndale now, queue of about 30 clearly scalpers at the front. No word on stock as of yet
Click to expand...

Idiots, let me know mate as soon as you hear stock levels. I'm after a 32GB gold, if you want to grab me a card and I'll meet you in the queue then that would be great :p

Why would they announce at 7am there is no phones yet? Would they have received order yet, when store opens at 9? Would there even be staff this early? Can someone else confirm this, because I'm not buying his story.

I'm going to head over there in around half an hour, the centre opens at 9 so I'll have an idea of the queues. Will keep you updated
