"Please note: 8GB iPhone is currently not available"

I think this promotion has run its course.
 
The promotion did a good job anyway.. i would think that 16gbs are at least in stock though. Apple/o2 have given too many hints 3g is coming..

now i reckon the opposite to thread title will start: sales will loosen up a lot in the coming weeks.
 
but its soooo obvious iphone 3g will be released.
actually it probably isnt to people who dont read MR..
so if everyone read MR then no iPhones would be sold.

Well they would if there are people out there like me, i'm tied to a contract with Orange UK until December. And i've ached for the iphone, so when the price dropped i had the money (and a mate who could get it for a hundred quid thank you O2 staff discount!!) so i thought well mihgt as well get it and ziphone it so i can use it til december then at the end of my contract i can get a 3G iPhone on O2 legit!

o2 stores didn't ask for my address.

i wish i had made profits of £60 per phone!

Its easy money! I have people waiting to buy phones of me, but I cant get hold of them!

good on you for making some cash. But who's buying them from you. Anyone can buy them for £169 from 02 or cpw???
amazing to see all this hype 6 months after release. I've had mine since nov 9!!!!!!!
 
for o2 staff during this period iphone would be 70 quid. 100 staff discount, 100 reduced price... awesome.. but im sure there would be a measure to ensure they took out contract in that case.

eBay! Its surprising how much people pay for an unlocked iPhone. I guess half of them dont know about the discount either!

Staff are recieving phones for £80, no contract but limited to one per week, phoned 8 stores in Surrey today, none had any 8gb iPhones in stock.
 
just rang around manchester and noone has them in stock..whats the deal with takig customer details though? i want to buy another one ...just made a huge profit on selling one on ebay... i was told o2 are takin details to literaly scare hoax customers so they won tbuy them..something about they cant keep customer details since its again dpa?? anyone shed some light?
 
it all seems very strange to me.

o2 have sold out very quickly. since they said the promotion was going to run until 1 june, it seems they have sold out considerably quicker than anticipated.

what are they going to do? turn away customers not wanting the 16GB until 2 june? this doesn't seem to me to be a very good idea. but i suppose the alternative is buying more iphones and taking a loss on each one.

they tell me they are reviewing the stick situation but have nothing further to say at this time.
 
I just bought the last one in the Poole store (there are 2 others reserved) and they said they weren't getting anymore in.
 
its true i thought they might not get them in since the lady at one store said they were to get delivery yesteray but nothing turned up however 2 other stores said delivery could be fri - sat so il ring em again tomorrow and friday and sat just in case - were u asked for details?
