Same reason why people queued for PS3 and 360's? I.e. they want one the day it launches?

their o2 / orange / vodaphone store ?

 

[kidkhaos]

Pretty much,

I'd never camp out, just get there maybe 30mins before they open.

Not camping out, not queuing, I want it hand delivered to my doorstep if I'm dropping £400+ on it. Oh and I want it a day early like my iPad

 

[HEADRAT]

Will they also delivery the moon on a stick I ordered

 

[Deleted member 651465]

I'll be working nights that day, so I'll swing by a few shops in town on release.

O2 shop for the last launch (iPhone 3G) was manic, but there is a carphone warehouse, Orange, Vodafone AND 3 shop in close proximity (literally within 10 yards of another) so I'm hoping the queues will spread a bit.

Made me laugh on iPad launch day. We're a really small store but we had them on launch day, so all these gimps queueing up for two days could literally just have walked in and had one.

Up to about 11 o'clock we had all of them. We did run out by the end of the day though.

If you pre-order it Pay&Go on the Apple site - can you have it delivered to your door for Thursday?

Yes.
They will even come in and make you a cup of tea.

 

[Fr0dders]

I'm not fussed if its thursday or friday.

I'm just going to pre order as soon as they will let me, then let it come via the post whenever i get one.

[Marky]

Yes.

Do we know what time we will be able to pre-order? What is the system normally - do they normally run out quickly?

I'd also like to know this

 

[mr.sly]

No details yet, I'm sure they'll say the day before. Otherwise get up early on the 15th and hit F5.

 

[Marky]

I was just wondering how it was like last year? Did anyone order online last year for the 3GS?

 

[Deleted member 651465]

I fully expect the Apple site to grind to a halt as everyone rushes to pre-order
