So Ari isn't too bitter that o2 messed things up big style and he wont get his until next week, but the news on the web is quite amusing.
This is funny (in a strange kinda way) iPhone 3G: UK gets long wait as O2 systems fail
Check this guy our: One-man queue for iPhone 3G in the UK love the sleeping bag But was it worth it, "Sadly, Sunil doesn't even intend to buy an iPhone 3G. Instead, he is hoping to sell his first-place spot in the queue via eBay." and he did for £41 and 10% will go to Oxfam, so he only got £36.90! I wonder if he works for the sleeping bag company :-o
I happened to have an appointment Saturday morning with an "Apple Genius" at the Genius Bar at the Kingston Apple Store to take in my old iMac which has a fault with the screen....anyhow the Apple store had loads of iphones so it queued up for a while and got myself an iphone black 16GB :)
although o2 and carphone warehouse have no stock apple had loads, all the apple guys said stock wasn't a problem, i got the impression they had at least a 100 units inlcuding white one, the main problem is the length of time to sell them 20-40 minutes per customer.
