Me too I'm looking, prefer this to, although do like the odd case, had the Appel leather for 5S, and ordered the leather for my 6 to.
I've ordered a bestskinsever, but will take an age to come.
Is there a reservation system in place this year? I haven't seen anything as yet?
as you've just joined you may not have seen it mate but theres approximately
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001.5 links to it in this epic thread
if you turn back a few pages I'm sure the links been posted recently. Definitely worth a check at midnight/morning
With insurance the phone has to be sent with Parcelforce and costs £60 but with DHL it will cost £45...I don't know if I can risk it with the Royal Tracked & Signed (covered only up to £250) or pay more :/
Just checked my email, confirmation emailed dated 08:31am.
I love Apple product launches, they never disappoint in terms of anticipation and drama.

personally, never risk it.
its a very valuable phone. obviously the choice is yours! its probably cheaper to get a budget flight over here, pick it up and return isn't it

Vodafone are giving a bit of hope for Friday delivery on the 6+.

I'm on sim only with O2, looking to upgrade so they're currently offering £19pm unlimited min/texts and 5gb data - good deal?
London based and tempted by Three but still can't bring myself to switch.
Ordered iPhone 6 due Friday from apple so need to make decision!

Three have the greatest 3g coverage in the uk. I believe O2 are the worst with something like 60% vs 98% on three and voda.
There's a few of us who used it to reserve them last Friday. There were links from the main iPhone 6 page, if you knew where to press. It wasn't the most obvious though.
Site is

Keeping everything crossed for Friday morning!
iPhone Plus preorder people need to remember how many rumours there were about the release date for the plus being later than that of the iPhone 6! I'm so happy that they did manage to get it ready in time. I was NOT going to wait months after the iPhone 6 launch!
iPhones all already in the UK. Rang Apple they told me that the reason the U.S. has shipping info now is because they all being delivered by UPS where as the UK ones have been shipped by UPS to the UK but are being off loaded onto Syncreon to distribute through couriers. He said they are already in the UK and that shipping information will be provided tomorrow or Thursday when they are sent to the courier
The reservation system was live on Friday, not sure when they took it down though as I still saw it there onSunday I think.

Showing it's going back up at midnight (although it doesn't say which midnight!)
That's the ones I've ordered as wanted straight away for when my 6 comes, will let you know (remind me!), will look out for others one come out, although also ordered BSE full body, but will take a while from USA

Do you mean to suggest that Vodafone have good 3G coverage because in my experience Vodafone and O2 have really poor 3G coverage.
If that's the case EE are going to have a lot of angry people calling them come end of Thursday and Friday as they've been telling people to expect delivery on the 19th.
I got my preorder in around 8.10am - and was told as one of the first to expect to receive the phone on launch day.
If EE don't actually dispatch the first batch to hit doorsteps come Friday then they will have cocked up, it's launch day - not start delivering day. That would make launch next week.
Not yet, Brother.
Had a whole thing with CPW... Got my order in at 8.01... No confirmation e-mail, had to call them to double check everything was okay. Rep told me if I'd left it like that, I'd've got it THREE weeks later!
He rectified this and assured me it'd be safe for delivery come launch.
Got my order #... Just waiting on that dang confirmation!
I'm really excited.. I can't wait. I'm only upset for all of those men and women that'll lose their jobs over at P4U. A lovely pair served me my iP5s last year.
Sorry, meant ee, voda are also in the low 80's%.
Great thing about three is you never get slow 2g speeds. All their coverage is 3G or better. And also fast 3G. I often get 20mbps+ on 3G which is faster than O2 4g.
Do you want data or minutes? Three do unlimited data with tethering from £15. I'm on unlimited data at just £12.90 so I'm not giving that up
I started to put my order through at 08:06 as I wasn't sure how to reserve. I managed to find the reservation link and got my confirmation email at 08:12. I was texting my mate telling her I was on the web store and going to order if I didn't hear off her ha. It come up for me much sooner than it did for her. Both managed to reserve for Friday in the Trafford Centre in the end. Have to say I am missing the pre delivery hype. Looking forward to a high 5 at the store on Friday haha

Problem with 3 is it's all or nothing, where I live they've turned off the backup 2G arrangement they had, but I can't get 3G so I can't use 3 at all as no signal whatsoever.

Data probably more important. I only use about 300 mins a month.
Tbh I am getting fed up with O2's 3G (even in Central London) and therefore doubt 4G is any better.
