FAO: iPhone 4 - Queuing People

[David]

For those queuing, the opening times for o2 stores will be 8:02am and the stores stocking iphones are located here => Link

What time are you going to get there?

I work near cannon street and was thinking, 6.30am. o2 won't give any idea for stock levels etc.But i would think that is early enough.

EDIT: For those working in London, there is planned tube strikes on Wednesday => Link which will likely cause big delays on Thursday morning...which is nice of them!

 

[m4rkie23]

Thanks David.
Gloucester store it is then. Prob guna get there 6:30 too. Dont wanna miss out for the sake of an hour.

 

[Perrinho]

I take it youre both already O2 customers?

 

[David]

i am yep.

Yeh i guess for those that aren't aware, o2 are only selling to current o2 customers.

 

[m4rkie23]

I take it youre both already O2 customers?

Yeah dont worry mate. I am far from n00b!

 

[JJ!]

All stores will probably be stocking the iphone, that's a specfic list of stores opening early on launch day.

 

[m4rkie23]

This thread is aimed at people queueing and stores that are opening early JJ.
I'm sure EVERY 02 shop in the country will have stock on 24th!

 

[Perrinho]

Just checking....anyway, buying sim free up front FTW! Turn up when I want on Thursday and pick up...

 

[David]

i would wager the early openers will be the ones with more stock, who knows though.

 

[Gareth]

my store is inside a precinct so won't open until 9am i think, I'm going to check with them later this week

The shopping centre where my local apple shop is opening at 4.30am to let people in to queue! haha

 

[David]

some carphone warehouse stores are opening at 7am - reliable source. Nothing on website i could find.

 

[-Leigh-]

I'm off to queue in a sec. Even going to where my blue t-shirt and a white piece of card around my neck so I fit in.

 

[cava83]

Will they actually have simfree ones available ?

Thanks,

G.

 

[Rob]

No one apart from apple is selliing sim free.

 

[cava83]

Oh right, ok.

Well pointless to go then.

Thanks for the headsup.

Witney one? They did tell me 9:00 when i asked, but im still getting there early

 

[KDF]

Am I right in thinking that I should receive shipping updates from Apple on the 23rd ? is that the way they normally do it ?

 

[David]

i would expact that, can you not check your order status, should tell you estimated shipping date on there.

DaveLiquid - i'm not sure, i know some in london are. nothing on their website though. i'd get there early.. like 6am or before tbh

 

[andywright182]

[m4rkie23]

Great!

 

[David]

[Rob]

I hope Phones4u don't screw me and have one as promised!

 

[gregor182]

why are you queuing when you can reserve?

 

[m4rkie23]

Cuz you cant reserve.

 

[Gareth]

erm, yes you can with Phones4U (16GB ones anyway)

 

[eves]

You can't reserve sim free ones

 

[Rob]

Nope but you can't buy sim free from p4u either!

I've reserved one but will still get there about 30-45 mins before store opening.

My p4u were very knowledgeable on it all and did install some confidence in me, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Hopefully they're as efficent as I hope and I'll have one before 10a.m on Thursday.

 

[Christopher]

I'll be getting there for 6.30am.

 

[Rob]

Go to phones4u and reserve 'topher, then turn up early too, double your chances

 

[GarethM]

How big do you think the queues will be? I'll be getting to the Middlesbrough store about 6am? Just don't want to miss out and I've got to be at work for 11am.

 

[Gareth]

Go to phones4u and reserve 'topher, then turn up early too, double your chances

he's want the hero version (32GB) and they aren't sure their getting them

 

[Adam]

I cant wait for the postman to wake me up on the 24th

 

[cliobritt]

i hope its good!

 

[ChrisH]

You can't reserve sim free ones

Can't you?? Funny as i have an e-mail from Apple confirming that i have reserved one in store! Meadowhall Apple store is going to be so much fun on thursday morning.

 

[Revels]

I'll be getting there for 6.30am.

Lol.

Realised that black > white = Win.
Getting up when it's dark to go and get a phone = Fail.

 

[Lee]

I was thinking I'd head down at 7.30, if I don't get one then so be it, I'm in no rush.

 

[eves]

[ChrisH]

Fair enough, reading fail on my part then
