Ya I don't think they'll open early because of the pre-orders, but check their site, they might have them up early for online pre-orders?
Good luck!
Got a tip for us?

Thanks!
I'm hoping they don't open early lol. I can't possibly get there till 9:30 at the very earliest. Being 30 mins late wouldn't be too bad, 90 mins I'm not so sure...
I would presume you can, IIRC the upgrades were available before it went live for new customers when I got the 5.
I'm just gonna log into my3 and hope!

I've been so amped deciding on things like colours and cases that I didn't realise it to be 4am. Part of me wants to make it to 8am and part of me wants to sleep. But I'm kinda scared I sleep and don't wake up til mid-day

Oh I've got the day off, I'm still off Uni for a few weeks. A trip to the bank is required first which does not open till 9:30 😉
This is why I'm still up, I'm the only one in the house and alarm clocks rarely wake me so I'm not sure I want to risk catching some zeds until the order is in the bag.

I personally would not risk it, I have my Coffee pot ready for 6am and having some snacks and energy drinks (no more beer) to keep me a wake right now.
Bank has something to do with the payment authorization or what?

yeah, honestly no point trying to nap/sleep now, its only 3hrs 30 minutes to the actual opening and I'd imagine you want about 25 minutes before it to get yourself ready to double check credit cards etc and then refreshing to see if they open one or two minutes early.
I've tried in the past telling myself at this stage that 'I'll just sleep 3 hours' and set an alarm(s) and wake up for uni. It hasn't worked and I've slept all the way through them to about 3pm!😱
If what I've read that (from the ip5 preorders) that they don't sell out until about 30-35 minutes, it doesn't sound too hard!? I'm well prepared for the site to go down, but surely it can't have a 30 minute downtime.

It's not too bad, has it's perks 😉
I just dont really know how much I'm going to need exactly so I'm making sure I have a good amount in my account ready to take the hit 🙂

I think you guys are right. Better get out of bed and make a brew. I already missed out on Foo's tickets yesterday morning, so I'm not missing this as well.

Yup, need to be prepared on days like these 😀
Hoping because most start work at 9AM I won't be in the O2 store for too long. In and out hopefully...

Ya, lets hope for the best, kinda different for me since I am ordering directly from Apple, so I am refreshing the page almost every 10mins now LOL even though its not even 7am! 😱 😀 😛 😉

I'm hoping that a lot of Three Customers sleep in a little bit to give me chance to get sorted before their site blows up ;-)
Still not decided on colour. I'm 90% going for a plus, 70% in gold. About that Gruber dude seems to reckon there will be a plus shortage?

Might have to grab a few hours sleep, lagging right now. Hopefully O2 have the prices on the website before I go so I know what to expect.

Yes it is LOL.
You do that, set the alarm for 8am maybe 😛 on highest volume level! good night 🙂
I want a plus in silver but with a black face, unfortunately they don't do this so I have to settle for a space grey...I'll just be glad to have the beast rather than my mock up built from Lego 🙂
