Good shout. Ordered a 64GB at Apple price from CPW
5Ss you mean I suppose. I called the store on Regent St. and they told me that no new stock came in today, but likely on Monday...
I received an email this morning saying what time slot I've got and included a link to follow my parcel..

I've asked on their live chat and they said it's not possible at the moment and told me to check site regularly for update?
They don't usually unlock new iPhones for 3 months. It's to stop those trying to flip the phones on eBay.
If you'd want to ebay them then you wouldn't have put a sim in them in the first place though.
Ofcom really needs to come up with some proper regulation regarding this.
Trying to order a 5s 32gb in space grey from carphone warehouse and it's an absolute nightmare.
My bank rejected the transaction, so I had to get the restriction lifted, and then they just cancelled my order because it couldn't be processed, even though apparently they have my money in holding?! What is going on?!

5s just arrived via DPD - glad I took that punt on CPW late yesterday afternoon although I must admit CPW were either overwhelmed or just incompetent. It took three phone calls (three different stories) and one web order to get a delivery. Even then I had no email from them confirming my order (still haven't) and the only communication was a text from DPD this morning saying it was out for delivery.
I'm wanting to use my Virgin Mobile SIM which I guess will lock onto EE/Orange/Tmobile. I hear they are a real pain to get unlocks from? Does me being a VM customer for 6months+ entitle me to the unlock as well or I have to go direct?
If not, is it better I just try get an o2 SIM and use their direct service or http://www.cellunlocker.net ? (They are charging $40 with 5-15 day average time)

Mine has just arrived from EE. The lady i spoke to said she couldn't guarantee when my phone would arrive yesterday due to stock levels, so i was expecting it some time in a couple weeks, but low & behold here it is 24hrs later
The person I spoke to at EE said something similar.
She said that there seems to be a Saturday slot, but they can't guarantee it.
Did you get an email or SMS with delivery information?
Cheers for that - I'm really having a hard time deciding if it's worth it or buying an iPad mini ...
The 5 is also missing burst shot mode and the slow mo features :/ which I will probably only use once!
I ordered mine from Apple at 12.03am Friday to avoid going through the nonsense with Vodafone I get every year.Seems I made a mistake doing this and I won't get it for 7-10 working days.All I can honestly hope for is that my order comes sooner rather then later. I'm a little disappointed it's going to take so long even though I would have been one of the first to order one direct from them online.
My order still is hasn't been picked for shipping
I'm guessing Apple is sending stock to the stores just so they can have queues to brag about
This I can agree with.
Nothing will get them bigger headlines more than queues. Retail is their priority at a launch, you don't get headlines by looking after online orders first.
Look at the amount of retail outlets they are opening and it's also easier to push accessories onto you if it's in a store.
It's a shame the in-store reservation system is not on yet.
Still nothing will get me driving into the city to stand in a queue waiting to see if stock has arrived, I will wait it out until my order arrives, it also means I miss the first batch.
