UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

Well, this has certainly gotta be better than starting a whole new thread. I got my first iPhone today. It's an iPhone 6 and I'm absolutely loving it!
Did a fast track upgrade from a Samsung Galaxy Ace II using O2 refresh. Considering what I came from I suppose it's no wonder I'm loving this device. It's my first flagship and one of the latest/greatest. Custom keyboard support in iOS 8 is cool too but SwiftKey seems majorly gimped compared to the Android version and as such I'm wondering whether it's worth it. May just stick with the stock keyboard.
Also been an iMac owner since late 2010 which is what made me join these forums in the first place.

Finally some movement on my order, the money has been taken out of my account and when logging into my account it now says "preparing for dispatch" 
hopefully it won't take to long to be delivered.
Update: I have just received an email from Apple saying my IPhone 6 Plus has been dispatched and will be delivered by the 27th I have looked at UPS tracking number, and it's saying the delivery will be on the 23rd

I was so sure I'd pick one up in store
After faffing around & staking out the Apple stores in central London & near home hoping to do a walk in ....I have ended up ordering a 6+ 64GB SG online# .
Strangely enough the payment had gone through; does this mean with a stroke of luck it could be dispatched earlier & delivered than the Nov 17th-24th estimates?

Mmmmm, has anyone else who ordered in the past week had their credit card debited before the goods have been dispatched?
Unfortunately I can not check my credit card as the bank appears down and not allowing any signing in.
When I placed my order over the phone Sales were explicit in that the only monies debited immediately was a single £1 just to link my card with my Apple account. I didn't check to see if this happened and again I can't check whilst the bank is down for signing in.
Quite worried now...last night my phone was showing as being in Incheon. Just checked now and the tracking information says it's back in ZhengZhou and it was last tracked on Friday! All the recent tracking events seem to have disappeared!
This happened to anyone else?

I don't know who is at fault here but I am surprised the media have not been as quick to jump in at Apple to ask where are all the numbers?
They would only spin it saying that the phones are the most popular ever hence the shortages.
Exactly...... and doesn't that annoy everyone.
They turn a negative into a personal triumph!
Rock on. I knew some enterprising fellow would have something like that.
Well it would be great, but I can't get the script to work. Keeps telling me the service might be down. It's not.

I have had my 6+ for a few days now and have decided it is too big and I am swapping for a 6 instead.
Spoke to the Apple online store and they said no problem they will send a 6 out and then arrange for my 6+ to be picked up. Trouble is I got 2 emails today one telling me that they will phone tomorrow to arrange collection of my 6+ and another email telling me that I won't get my 6 till November the 4th!
I expressly told the guy that I can't be without a phone so I am in a bit of quandry now aren't I? Anyone else had this problem? I am hoping Apple will be all good about it and not be too strict with the 14 day return thing.

You should be fine. They only picked my 6 up this week and I got it on launch day. When they call to arrange pick up just tell them Nov 4. Easy.
From trial and error, I think when it says that the service is down, it means that there aren't any of that specific iphone in stock in the store you've chosen.
For example I chose Regent Street and Stratford City as my stores. It's picking up the 16gb iP6+'s that are available in the Regent Street store but nothing else, which is correct, and then it pings up with the service might be down straight after because Stratford don't have anything available.
At least that's what I make of it. Could be wrong.
EDIT - I am wrong. First time doing this so trying to figure it out on the go.

My Plus has made it to Koeln, and now says it is scheduled for early delivery TOMORROW instead of Wednesday! Hope this is true!
Which could well be the truth.
The roll out is still going forward, and IIRC both China and India launched this week, I can only see supply becoming more constrained, not easier, for the rest of the year.
