I'm just gonna get the 16gb. That's the size of my 3GS so don't need any bigger

Shamo

Going to order online at 8am, 100% chance of website fail.

Was told those with a booking number will be called to top of queue at 8am regardless of position in queue, then 1st come 1st served after that.

Gumbo

Some THREE stores are selling the iPhone 4 from 00:01am

BanjoB

I'm on a list since 2 weeks ago so I'm hoping that they'll have one for me. I'm gonna try the vf shop where I'm on that said list at 9 am and pray that I'm lucky.

I've been waiting too long for this to go wrong, plus the buyer for my 3gs is equally as enthusiastic to get his hands on that .

LOL making your 3GS customer wait til you get your iPhone 4 -classic :pac:

Would you not start queuing before 9am? I mean that is really late considering some people will start at 5/6am...just for your own sake like...

super_furry

Not me. €360 on O2 is too expensive for me for the time being, I'll leave it for a couple of months.

Seriously tempted to queue for one to have it NOW! but stopping to think about it, I would prefer the Apple Sim-free properly unlocked phone, so I'm going to order from Apple online. Been researching it a lot on UK sites for the last few weeks so I don't mind waiting a few more for what I really need.

So hard to resist though, love my gadgets, although admittedly part of it would be showing it off in the pub tomorrow night, sad I know

How would u get a booking number?

BanjoB

Well when I asked he said he would contact the people on the list Friday morning irrespective of the queu, so I think it might be pointless going in that early.

Of course I'd never leave go of my 3gs till I got the 4!!!. My girlfriend says she feels like she's going out with me and my iPhone,I'm that attached to it!!!. Lol.

Realistically speaking what are the chances of picking up one of these in the morning without queuing from 6am or being on some special list or knowing someone in store?
Will I bother going down just before 8 to an O2 store or are people that obsessed with iphones that I'll be met by hundreds of grown men queuing for one whilst playing on their iphone 3GS or ipads?

(I've never used one, but would like to buy one and I've the day off worK)

Called in today and filled out a direct debit form, brought ID etc. They called me back 3 hours later saying bank details were processed and issued me a booking number.

To be honest, I'm not an Apple freak. But having played with the iPhone 4 in France on June 25th, I realised how beautifull the phone really is, and how great it is. It has EVERYTHING I need. The 3GS didnt have a decent enough camera.

Now that the 4 has what I'm looking for, I am getting one. I am just fortunate enough to know someone who works in a phone shop.

I would reccomend to start queuing at 6/7am if you really want one. But who knows, you might just get lucky!

I want 16GB..have an old classic 30GB that I haven't filled 4 years later so the 16 should be loads!!

Appleguy

I cant afford one sadly

Picked up a 32GB 3gs the other day that will have to do me for another year.
Love the excitement of waiting on all you guys to get one.

misslt

I was so surprised - I wanted the 16GB white 3GS for €199 on a contract.

The 16GB 4 is €259 on the same plan so for the sake of €60 i thought why the hell not!!

To be honest I was quite amazed to see how much the iPhone 4 prices has risen...I am a bit dissapointed.

But feck it, great phone + will last me a long time (or at least I hope! )

If it lasts half as long as their computer hardware does ya should have no problem.

I still don't think they will beat the old 2g reliability wise. Fine you couldn't hear it when it rang in your pocket but they were rock solid. You could literally throw it around and it would never break.

I've a feeling they have gone for quantity not quality in recent years.
Good idea extending the unibody design from the MBP's to the iPhone though it does look great.

Yeah, rock solid.

irish1967

Living in a smallish town may have it's advantages. Hoping to pick one up when 02 opens here at 9.30. €259 shouldn't break the bank too much.

(wonder what my next pint around Christmas will taste like?)

The Iphone 4 has much more solid feel to it, maybe even feel a bit heavier, but definitely more solid. Gave it numerous death grip tests and signal didn't budge a sausage

Saw my iPhone this evening as the Vodafone lady wrapped my details around it! Wasn't going near Vodafone with a stick until I did the sums and realised everyone I know is with them.

Just walked into a 'suburban' shop at 6:30pm and she just said what one do you want - no probs just pick it up tomorrow before 1pm!

Am dying to hear how all you guys get on looking forward to some good stories.

Cavehill Red

There is a queue of about 20 people outside Vodafone on Grafton Street right now, waiting to buy iPhone 4s.
Directly across the street in the doorway of Vera Moda, is a homeless person in a sleeping bag.
This is, I guess, what Dublin's all about these days.

Creamy Goodness

shall be an iphone 4 waiting for me tomorrow morning.

same as every morning for the last month, it's a beautiful thing to wake up to :pac:

What? i thought the vodafone store in grafton street did not have a midnight launch !!!! thats what the lady instore told me today !!! WTF !!!

Do u think those 10 guys are waiting for the store to open in the morning tomorow??

I rang O2 today ,,,,,

I got my 3gs last October but am now out of contract from O2 due to their latest rip off attempt of changing the terms and conditions ( which I only learned about thanks to you guys here! )

I asked them how much for me to get the 32g Iphone 4 . They would only give me the silver upgrade so the phone would cost me €359 plus they wanted me to pay another €50 euro to become eligible for the upgrade .Thats a total of €409 if I choose to be loyal to O2 , even though my monthly bills are over €240 per month...

Shame on O2 and VF. They should be doing everything they can to keep their customers.

Guess what network I'm going too....

What are the chances of walking into a CPW or O2 store tomorrow and picking up a ready to go/speakeasy/prepay iPhone? Or will it only be available as bill pay tomorrow?
