UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

thats nice of you, wishing violence on me purely because i had the business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit to successfully order 6 phones for re-sale.

its a win-win situation.
6 people are guaranteed iphones on launch day from me.
i make money.

all i'm asking is how much profit can i reasonably expect to make?
no need to get nasty.

I don't think it's fair that people wish violence on you, but you have no business acumen and you are no entrepreneur. You are Derek Trotter.

Maybe if you're a 11 year old but lets not act like you had an ingenious idea. You didn't, it's just a lot of people have a bit of a moral compass not to be shady and buy up stock and resell them on.

Scalpers and touts are the lowest of low. Don't kid yourself that you're being a slick businessmen, you're not, you're just one of the few people who are so morally bankrupt to want to do it.

Seconded.
 
Tried all morning on my phone and iPad the store didn't work. Went on my PC and done it within 2 minutes, they really should be better prepared for all this.

Got my wife's iPhone 6 but didn't get my iPhone 6+ 64GB, so had to reserve at the store and will pick up from there. A bit annoying really but better than waiting 3-4 weeks. Need to cancel that order for the 6+ on my account, doesn't give me the option to cancel that just the whole order at the moment!

Why would anyone want to use O2 anyway? Their network is proven to be unreliable and has had lots of major lengthy outages with feeble explanations, especially last year. I know lots of people who have lost lots of business because of outages lasting 12 hours or more. This is completely unacceptable.

I've been with O2 for over 10 years and have hardly suffered any outages in that time. I can only think of 2. Whilst travelling the UK for work and staying in some back-of-beyond places, I have also found their coverage to be far better than Orange or T-Mobile (don't know if that's still true now that they're EE).

I shop around every time I get a new handset but keep coming back to O2. Time to shop around again now though...

On the main iPhone 6 order page it says 'expected delivery 19th September' just below the storage option.

I called Carphone warehouse as I wasn't confident due to no email confirmation. Guy I spoke to said although the order had been placed at 7.23 am, it wouldn't be processed until later in the day. He said if I cancelled the order and ran a new one over the phone with him he could guarantee 19th delivery date. Thats what I have done.
 
Six handsets ordered with EE over the phone. £99 64gig £40 business tariff.

They did say they'll be delivered on the first wave from next week but I'll believe when I see the text saying they are being dispatch.
 
EE site is broke again! GRRR

In my opinion, it's a form of entrepreneurialship, although it's of the nasty sorts that only scum bags resort to. Nonetheless, good luck to those people in life. Hopefully a buyer scams him online and claims his money back :D
 
My money has definitely left my bank but apple order status still says "we've received your order".......surely if they've taken money it should be processing by now??? :confused:

If he was any sort of decent businessman, he wouldn't be trying to make maybe £50-£100 per phone. That's so small-time it's laughable and makes him look like a bit of an idiot.

Obviously he will probably sell the phones on for a small profit. I personally hope he prices himself out or gets them stolen from him as that would make me laugh like a hyena.

Ordered a 6+ 128GB in space grey narrowly missed launch day delivery so it's 7-10 day delivery

Same dispatch timeframe, (but a 4.7inch 6 64GB), though actual delivery date states 29th Sept - 2nd October.

Anybody else with same dispatch/delivery dates? I ordered at 10.30 am.
