I just got off the phone from apple now and my order is due to merge in the UK Apple warehouse today or tomorrow and be with me by the 11th! So I finally have some good news and a bloody delivery date!

I was also told that items shipping via merge in transit wont have there delivery info updated until they merge in the Apple warehouse because they are not shipping with the final currier until then (she told me mine would be coming through UPS, which I’ve known since last week because the apple.com site gives more info then the UK one).

So I guess I’m a happy bunny now :D
 
any news from Argos? the 12th is coming and nothing yet. also which courier do they use?
 
Still waiting

I think I'm in the same boat as you rookie, mine was supposed to arrive in the UK friday but i don't think it has. Considering my delivery went from 9/10th to the 11th so heres to a happy geek on thursday hopefully!!!

xxRob

EDIT : .... it has tracking information ... it was dispacted at 10am today

When did you order it mate?
 
My iPod touch arrived today from John Lewis - week 38. Having had a quick play, it seems that it has no dead pixels either.

It really is a fantastic little device. Especially cool was turning on Airport on my Mac Pro and surfing the web on the touch using the Mac Pro as a go-between.
 
Got my touch from Argos today. Unbelievably amazing :D!

Argos now seem to be out of stock on them though, one day after they got them in :p.
 
I just got home with my Touch, uploading now. Week 39 - Macy Gray, ordered Sunday 30th Sept, shipped Wednesday 3rd Oct arrived Tuesday 9th Oct.

Update: screen is good :)
 
Still waiting......

My saga rolls on - having finally got tracking details from Apple to use on UPS, I find my iPod Touches (2 x 8GB, engraved, ordered 17th September, shipped (and paid for) 29th September, delivery scheduled 1-2nd Oct, then 9-10 Oct, now 're-scheduled' for 12th Oct) still in a warehouse in Nuneaton.

(Almost) unbelievable - but this is Apple.

If there in Nuneaton then that means you will get it tomorrow – UPS dont tend to hold items for future delivery unless requested by the consignee

I phoned apple back today to get my tracking number and shipper details and I get told one of my items is still in Amsterdam.... new expected delivery dates are the 15th-16th of October, this is seriously starting to take the piss now, my boss at work will think I’m messing him about by requesting holidays and then canceling them the day before I’m suppose to take them, if its held up anymore or i get a delivery date change then i think its time to skip the apple phone support and mail Mr. Jobs with a complaint about how my orders been dealt with!
 
Argh why the hell did I order from Argos, I've just been on the phone to them and they're still trying to tell me that they haven't received a "launch date" from Apple, and they don't have any stock - even though people further up this thread have received them.

Might have to have a bit of a trip round Bristol and see if I can grab one thats in stock - does anybody know anything about availability in Cribbs Causeway or anything?
 
I like the sound of that. How did you go about getting that to work? System Prefs wise, does it require anything beyond merely turning on Airport?

You need to share your internet connection (from within System Preferences). I told my Mac Pro to share Ethernet #2 (which is plugged in to my cable modem, via a router) and made sure that the "Airport" option was selected. Make sure you have an Airport network set up and you should see it from within the Wi-fi settings on your touch.

You can use the same method to share the connection with a Nintendo Wii.

What number did you phone? I'm going to give them a ring tomorrow if it hasn't arrived.
 
Thanks. My estimated delivery still says the 11th but I'm not expecting it to be honest. Still no tracking number and the tracking information is still as vague as ever.
