She could give you the low down on it.

Don't let JackClark find out though

She is now happy with her iPhone again

There is only a 2 week wait direct from apple for the 32gig version and you know you won't be bumped

I would rather buy a sim free HTC desire to pass the time before the iphone arrived than pay that sort of wedge

My iPhone 3G 16GB just sold on ebay for £250

More than covers for the cost of erecting a new mast in my garden

Are the queues just as long to return these non-functioning devices as there were to buy them?

Priceless.......... queing for an item which is not fit for purpose

I cannot be the only one who laughs at those who queued for ages, paid silly money and generally acted like sheep ..... then found out that, as a phone, it doesn't work!

Pete,

Seriously. Do you think the "it doesn't work" line carries any residual amusement value, given the timing of this post of yours relative to the many posts on your "recalled" thread which prove that as a phone it works very well?

In light of that, you quite possibly are the only one who "laughs at those who queued" for an Iphone 4.

There are plenty of people laughing, but most of them are laughing, with a certain degree of embarassment I suspect, at you.

I'm going to add cringeworthy to that list of best to describe your current posting style.

So how do we get in there get the phones and get the ankle biters to school ?

Tricky one and we have tried coming up with different options.

Any remarks like you sad git and it's only a phone will be ignored

Best ignore me then

I got a 3GS, wouldn't be without it
