Hope not!

Although, it's a totally new antena set up they've used, so who knows.

AT&T (iPhone carrier in the US) are terrible regarding signal.

 

[sneeks]

Not sure if anyone has posted this or not.

but they are comparing them to the old iphones which are getting better reception! one bloke has all 3 iphones lined up and the iphone 4 is the worst!

 

[howie p]

anyone queuing yet or seen anyone queuing at stores?

 

[sneeks]

6 people outside Apple Glasgow and I am NOT one of them.

Guys, was thinking of heading to Regent St Store for 4am. What's the deal with buying iPhones on the day, I have no reservation!

You think they'll have enough, or reservations only?

 

[sneeks]

This is a bit worrying.

Got a phone call this afternoon from Phones4u....

"Hello sir, this is phones for you confirming we have your iphone in stock. It is reserved under your name and no one else will be able to purchase it until after end of business tmrw, out of curiosity, what time are you turning up"

"8 a.m"

"Thanks, see you then"

£5 deposit, winner winner chicken dinner!

:dapprove:

Hope it's not the case, although it makes sense.

 

[sneeks]

The reports of yellow lines and spots on the screens is also a concern

 

[Herr Flick]

unlucky for a few it seems

i think over the next few days people will have a lot of problems with the iphone 4!

 

[sneeks]

I'm not overly worried as I'll get a replacement if needed from Apple, hopefully all will be ok though.

 

[Soph]

All these things you are putting up are worrying me!

but at least i've got insurance!

The que was starting to get pretty hefty at around 8pm this eve I imagine it will be huge by the morning?

 

[word_easy]

Erm and a warranty?

It can't be true anyway, Apple wouldn't release anything that doesn't work properly. Would they?!...

 

[Christopher]

Is 7am too late for a small town centre store? Would you go earlier? lol.

 

[beatjunkie]

For the contract people these kick 02's arse?

Nobody queuing at any stores in Exeter at 2145, including Apple.

 

[JR]

Well we will find out tomorrow about these potential issues i guess.

 

[.Simon]

Just wiping my iPhone now so I can hand it over at Phones4u tomorrow ... I happen to have the "Dentist" at 0800 tomorrow so have to go into work late.

Bloody hell, there's a few with the issue now.

Over on the Apple site too: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2474396&start=15&tstart=0

I'm surprised at how many have mentioned this already.

 

[DeeKay86]

ok, not kidding here. I am leaving home NOW to queue. LoL, mates are waiting for me! Have one reserved at Westfields!

 

[.Simon]

^ How sad!

 

[Dave]

I have tried to update my 3G to iOS4 and I now have No Service. WTF!

FLOL. Going to queue for 9 hours, overnight, for a phone!?!? And not just any phone, no, a phone with yellow blobs on the screen.

Crazy. Watch out you don't catch 'virginity' in the queue and hope it stays dry for ya lol.

 

[Bucko]

I suppose you have better things to do with your time?

Hanging out with mates all night sounds pretty cool to me

 

[Brad182]

Im leaving mine at 6 tomorrow to get the regents street store despite having a pre-order. I just don't want to spend my day in a queue.

Yeah great hanging about on the street like your 15 again yayyyy


As said though, why queue if you have one reserved?

Hanging outside an Apple shop all night sounds cool?

 

[JJ!]

Hope the yellow blobs are confined to the states!

Mother has had the exact same problem tonight. I told her to try reset, hold power, slide to shutdown then turn back on again and now it's working so maybe try that.

I've queued up with mates for concert tickets overnight before and yes, it was a cracking night

 

[.Simon]

To be honest, I'm not fussed about any of the issues - if it's a problem then it'll get sorted by Apple.

That's the best thing I like about Apple, they won't sod around with sending something off for repair, straight swap 99% of the time.

Anyone going for Apple care? I think I may do this time!

Seems pointless on iphones, chances of keeping it much over a year are slim :S

That maybe the case if you are buying the phone outright but I guess if you are on contract you'd probably keep it for the full 18 months / 2 years?

I will be anyway ...
