Apple's iPhone goes on sale in the UK and Germany on Friday with thousands expected to snap up the device.
Eager customers have begun queuing outside the Apple Store in Regent Street, London, despite the poor weather conditions.
But there are concerns that consumers are only able to use the phone with one mobile network.
In the UK the phone will only work on O2's network, while in Germany T-Mobile will support the device.
Sad, sad people! Gotta laugh at anyone who shows off their swanky new iPhone haha, everyone bar them knows they been had, may as well walk around with MUG written across their forehead!

yer a no!
Has anyone bought one? Lol.
Were they delivered to people today, or tomorrow? I know they dont go on sale in shops till 18:00 today... which is surely weird as who wants to go shopping at 18:00 on a Friday night lmao!
its actually 18:02 the launch.
With 1hour 15mins to go noone at the oaks is even bothered. The carphone warehouse have locked there doors but noone care's lol.
I went in before and slated it and they seen there bum with me. They have 60 in store. With a crap 4gb memory. I will record the official opening of the store on my phone for you if you want.
Hahaha yeah would be great to see the mad rush... I mean errr empty shop lol.
4GB is just lame lol may as well just get a normal phone with a 4GB memory card lol.
I see Ebuyer.com are selling 16GB iPod Touches at £254.00 today!
Yeh wud be nice, take a snap shot if ther is going to be any ques.

I cant wait until those who are buying them get a grip
of the small print lol....
I wouldn't ever buy one if its right what has been posted about them.
we have 3 people outside waiting now.
Think they just want top ups tho lol.
Haha
Wouldnt that be funny to see, they open the shop up at stupid hours for the launch of their new flagship product, and the only fookers who go there want £10 top ups
So... 8 minutes in, has anyone been to buy one yet? Have they managed to activate one?
Id laugh if their activation systems broke down haha!
Its about now Apple should be "Shitting" Themselves lol
Lol both Apple and o2... I think they have grossly over-estimated the value of the iPhone brand...
Although, im not sure how much o2 paid out initially to be honest, dont think it will have been more then a million or so cos Apple are getting a big chunk of the revenue.
oooooooo did it take 22 minutes? Anyone else asked about buyin one yet?
Did the person have any weird tatoo on their forehead?
LMAO... o2 are now selling the 16GB iPod Touch for the same price as the 8GB iPhone... or the 8GB iPod Touch for £70 less.
Talk about killing their own product haha!

lol yeah. Form re sub by mistake.
lol... any further developments at ground zero then?
just had a play. Internet is slow and youtube can only be used if your connected to wifi.
They really are trying to push this on everyone. I heard 2people say that they rather stick with there n95's lol yay
I still would like one in a way
lol, so not the mad rush and war going on that Apple were predicting then Mr Wheels?
wheels you just want one to play with lol
no.
They are keeping the store open 2extra hours tonight aswel.
I think that they will still have them tomoro.
Bit of a flop so far but i dont know what other store's are like.
Stil a very attractive bit of kit. I left leaving wikiwirral in the browser lol
Should leave a page
"NEWS IPHONE BIGGEST FLOP EVER!

I will see what i can do.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/ne...stm?bw=bb&mp=wm&asb=1&news=1Omg, how did I know it was going the stereotypical BMW Mini driving unversity graduats who would be the interested parties...
They are always the mugs when it comes to trendy design!
That last couple make me laugh... you cant buy a phone contract, you can, you go to the lowest tariff possible and then you ask for something call a "final bill".
And ahem, they are staying on their existing contract, plus getting a new one, so in reality their going to end up with two contract haha!
Whatever tickles their boats I suppose...
lol i will pop into carphone warehouse at the end of the day and see how many they sold.
Total = 2 and staff have been given them lol
well a full days trading is over, i checked back at carphone warehouse and guess how mant they sold today!?
2
Do we get a prize? Maybe you got some iPhones to give away? The remaining 57 they threw in the bin after the abysmally crap sales?
