IPhone 4 - Anyone Got One

[DeludedAussie]

Popped into the apple store this morning and the phones are just amazing

Has anyone got one?

Any thing bad to report

500 GBP for a phone is pretty steep (one days pay :-))

Looks like there's a bit of a wait

09:17 So far today I have had to turn away almost as much business as we do in an entire month. Part of me wonders if this scarcity of product isn't cynically engineered to maximise hype. No other phone manufacturer has these stock issues at launch every single time they launch a product.

There is a new communication from head office. The iPhone 4 is only available on upgrade till an unspecified time in the future. Oh, and employees are banned from buying one on pain of dismissal.

09:27 A new missive from head office, O2's upgrade line is swamped and is close to falling over. I get a call from a former colleague in another phone retailer. Apparently they got no stock either - at least it's not just us.

11:30 Far from being one of the biggest sales days of the year this is turning out to be one of the quietest. This "launch" is either cluster**** of epic proportions or an equally epic marketing coup. I can't quite work out which.

"iPhone 4. This changes everything. Again." The only thing I see changing is my choice of job. ®

It is bloody expensive for a phone
