Got mine - prefer the looks to the old one, but the shape will take some getting used to. Super Monkey Ball is amazing - but anyone who upgrades their firmware can get it, worth £5.99.
Can't test the GPS yet either as I haven't been outside with it yet.
Activation was quick and painless for an upgrade, just swap the sim-cards then plug into i-tunes. Took ages in the O2 shop though, big queues and their system as offline. If you want one today, get there quick but they might have sold out already.

I bought 80% of the UK's iPhone stock...
...then put them all on the bonfire.
simply shocking! How could you?!
I kinda fancy one myself, largely due to the App Store, but the handset's just too expensive. Not to mention I'm only about 6 months into my 18-month contract with Orange.
Took me a couple of moments to realise what the small queue outside the Dundee O2 shop was for. Ironically, there was no queue at the other phone shop 20m down the street where a guy was walking out with his new iPhone.
Heh, my problem as well.Quote:

I was one of the unlucky ones - ended up being the first person told "sorry we have just sold the last one"! Gutted to hear that especially as the woman infront of me managed to get in the queue about 5 seconds before me! :(
I got one as an upgrade from my original iPhone, this morning, from CPW :)
Love it so far!
Any pictures anyone? :)
So what was involved in the activation process?
Nah, I bet you kept one for yourself (and I bet you love it)Quote:

I've ordered a Vodafone contract SIM with £90 Quidco cashback, so free calls for around 5 months:)
27 hours and still havent been activated on 02's service.
Customers are now been told to wait untill monday for them to clear the backlog nice.
I managed to pick up a 16GB white iPhone from the Apple store in London. I did order on the Monday but O2 messed up my order so canceled it.
Apple stores have tons of stock and O2 are left with one of the worst product launches in recent years :)
o2 finally updated my sim today about damn time.
All o2 stores/online have been told not to sell anymore phones till the backlog is cleared apprently.
