iPhone 5 Belfast

nebo

Myself and 3 of the lads decided to take the plunge and head up this year. Never done it before.
We're making a proper night of it, so we left Dublin about an hour ago, we're about 35mins out. The queue should be good craic. I can't wait for my shiny new iphone 5, sim or not!

Anyone in Belfast fancy picking me up one ;-)

Normally head up but have an important meeting today I couldn't miss, will throw a good few quid on top of the price of the phone to cover your travel

If anyone's interested pm me

Thanks

Also wondering if anyone heading up this morning would be interested in picking up another iPhone. I had planned to head up as its only a short trip up the road but due to events in the morning I can't do the trip.

If anyone is up there/heading up PM me, I will cover travel costs, etc.

Thanks

Wow some people going to be disappointed. I guess this is what happens when you have one apple store for 5 million people.

Left finglas at 2am. Got there and into the que about at about 3.40am.

What colours?
I've heard the black attracts fingerprints that are hard to remove. Which colour looks better in your opinion?

Both in white. Somebody in the que mentioned that the black attracts scuffs more but I didn't know wether to believe them or not?

PS-Anthony, you on here?

mad muffin

Many reports on macrumours that the black one is scuffed right out of the box :eek:

I think Ill have to go with the white one.

I will pay 700 Euro for Iphone 5. Please pm me if you have spare ones. I can take a few by cash in Dublin

16gb I assume? Hardly worth the hassle to sell for that considering fuel and parking costs.

Looks like ill be getting a white one so.

Yes for 16GB. I agree it not great but still 40 Euro profit..

Hey I was wondering what was the queue like when you left? Also did anyone say what stock levels where like? Want to head up but don't want to waste a journey up there to find out the queue is still insanely long and there's none left.

Thanks

40 euro profit for driving up and standing in a queue for roughly 5/6 hours .
Riiiiiiiiight. Your inbox is overflowing with pm's from people wanting to taking up your kind offer I'd imagine.
