    I agree with you there did u find it hard to cut the sim card ?

    no tbh, easier than cutting the standard sim to micro sim when the 4 came out. I basically cut up tight to the contacts and rounded it off around the contact as much as i could and that was it, have to say i got 2 done on first attempt for mine and the GF's phones.

    Really wasnt expecting to get it done but delighted none the less.
    Now to try figure out why iTunes isint showing Yahoo as a contact sync option anymore :mad:

    I didnt hear anything about pre-orders.
    Apple say they are going on sale on the 28th so i just assumed it will be at 8am like everywhere else.

    got an email from 3 saying they are taking pre-orders now

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    Update for anyone thinking of heading up to Belfast in the morning. I was in Victoria Square at 6:30pm. Only one girl in the que in front of me. There was no black 16GB left and I received the second last white 16GB according to the guy in charge of handing out the tickets. He did mention that they do have loads in stock though, so presume he means the 32GB and 64GB.

    Just on hold for Belfast store 9 calls ahead of me for the last 5 minutes! At least the hold music is good! Thinking about driving up from Dublin for a black 32 gig knowing my luck they'll have them in stock but I'll be too late to get one!

    Cost of the petrol though especially if it's a wasted journey! Still 6 calls ahead of me at 19mins. Fair play to Apple making individual store numbers available - unlike fecking pc world.

    How are people paying, do you have to have sterling or euro accepted? Or credit card etc.

    Surely paying with a card is best.

    Depends what you have as a Visa Debit or Laser card with "Maestro" should be accepted.

    Last thing I would do is travel with so much cash and then pay them in Euros as they would screw you on the rate.

    Just talked to them, they have very limited stock and expected to be gone in an hour, so if any one planning to go now, no point.
    For 32gb and 64gb both white and black.

    Well after 48 minutes wait no black 32 gigs left :( limited stock of everything else so I'll be keeping a close eye on the Irish apple store - wondering will the Irish sim free pricing be same as the rest of the eurozone or will we be getting the usual rip off prices? 32 gig is €789 on French Apple webstore (vat is 19.6%). Has anyone checked what rate you got using a credit for your Belfast iPhone purchases yesterday?
