O2 NOT doing Pre-Orders On iPhone 4

[Anonymous]

Rumour is hitting Twitter and the internet blogs tonight that O2 CS and O2 are saying that they will NOT be doing pre-orders of the iPhone 4 as they do not have the product code on their system and customers will have to wait until June 24th and hope for the best.

Again this is just rumour and hope it is rubbish but if not then I will be furious as I am sure many others will be.

Not the end of the world I know but it will be one stupid scramble to get one and as per usual O2 will have a back order of them and god knows when we will get them.

Actually, I see the god knows when we will get them back order happening anyway :womanindifferent:

I'm just going to wait until the mad rush has died down, see if the phone is actually any good (customer reviews are far more useful than biased website reviews), and then make my choice.

As for the "see if it's actually any good" bit - take the HTC EVO 4G as a good example. People were climbing over themselves to get their hands on one - and now it turns out that a large number of them are fraught with problems and issues.

Just my opinion, but I don't see the point in rushing out to get something on launch day and having all the stress that goes with it, just so I can be the first of my mates to get one!

I'm not fussed re a pre order I just wish all networks would just come out and say these are our tariffs, these are the handset prices then I'd be able to gague if it was worth hanging in for the iPhone package or just get a new sim only deal for my N900
