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

No profit at all. Parking is 2.70 stag per hour plus fuel.

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

Tbh I think they will sell out quickly. Make a phone call first.

There's only so much refreshing a trackpad can take.

You rucking daisy, my spare meteor micro sim fits perfect after being trimmed a bit. No sanding, no filing just a few slits with a scissors

Graham

Does it come out as easy :eek:

Any unboxing pics?

Its really light. The camera has amazing clarity.

The screen is as stunning as the 4s, maybe a bit better with colour management.

1080p videos are just wow!

What did the majority of people go for? I am torn between getting the 16GB or 32GB.

I'd say anyone planning on trying to convert an existing SIM into a nano SIM should read this - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/09/18/nano_sim/

The contacts on the card are re-arranged, so it doesn't seem to be a simple case of cutting the card down to size. At least try with an old card or throwaway prepay card if you want to give it a go.

The register has it slightly wrong, there are two types of "full size" sims out there: older types with large contacts and newer ones with the same contacts (3FF) as the micro sim. both these types can be cut to micro sim (the larger contacts get cut slightly but work fine) but only sims with 3FF contacts can be cut to nano sim.

Im having terrible trouble with an old meteor micro sim must be the bigger contact I have. will check a spare o2 one before i butcher my 3 sim;)

Just thought I'd update just arrived in Belfast, 30 minute queue and all models are in stock

Hi all,

I'm thinking of heading up to Belfast next Saturday to pick up an iPhone.

Do ye reckon I'd be able to pick one up then? I presume the inital hype will have died down a bit by next weekend. Was originally going to order online but realistically looking at 3-4 weeks wait.

If you order at 8am on the Apple.ie site you will most likely have it within a week.
If determined to go to Belfast, make a call to them first to confirm they have stock.

Cheers mate.

I'm actually around the Belfast area next Saturday anyway so I was thinking of collecting one from the store.

I presume you can cancel an order from the Apple store online, provided it hasn't shipped. (So I could pre-order on Friday morning and if I get one in the store on Saturday I could cancel the pre-order.). Or is that pure greed

Just an update on the Nano sims lads I went to three and they gave me one no problem I just explained I stood in the cold for 6 hrs 😠once the have then in stock there should be no problem.love the feel of the iPhone 5 feels a lot more balanced typing with just one hand 😀

now hopefully Meteor get the blank ones soon. I know mine is running fine on the cut down micro sim but i'd like to get a proper nano sim in there just incase.
