    I got a call from the vodafone store where I preordered the iPhone 4 asking me if I was still interested, she double checked my details and which model I wanted. My phone will be waiting for me until 7pm tomorrow.

    Prepay price is €589

    So glad I don't have to queue up in the morning :D

    fair play.
    i take it you went for the 16gb version?

    one thing ive just noticed about the IP4 this minute, i just checked mine and it doesnt state the storage on the back face any more ie. 16gb or 32gb.

    I registered an interest on the vodafone site a while back.

    Just got a call there from a nice bloke.

    Was offered an iPhone 4 tomorrow, said it would be delivered to my house by the end of the day, and extra free minutes etc.

    I was going to go for it, but all the stories about vodafones poor internet were in the back of my mind.

    Is it as bad as everyone makes it out to be??

    If not I'll be calling him back and going ahead with it.

    Have mine booked for tomorrow. They are looking for a €200 deposit up front for new customers. Is this the norm.

    Me neither. I wonder if I could call into them in Sandyford and pick it up? Unlikely, I'd imagine they are being held somehwere else. :(
