At apple stores from 8am on Friday 19th June

So it seems we can forget all that 6.02 pm stuff and head down early doors. I'm assuming if Apple stores have them early, all other places will have them too.

I just thought I'd share with you the amusing conversations that i've had with o2 customer service upgrades this past few days.

Phone conversation no.1
Rang on Monday and was told if i ring on Wednesday i can pre-order the phone for delivery on Friday

Phone conversation no.2
Rang today to ask to pre-order the phone and the person was trying to sell me a simplicity contract which i told him from the beginning that i wasn't interested in, yet he still spilled out the terms and conditions of it etc. To then be told that there is no pre-ordering in place for the iphone and to ring on Friday

Phone conversation no.3
Rang again to see if the previous advisor was just a jobber to then find out that this next guy was even more of a numpty. He said that the new iphone will be released on Friday 26th June. I asked him to rethink that as the o2 website and every other mobile website states this Friday. He put me on hold and had to check with his supervisor

His exact response when he came back was 'oh yeah, it is out this Friday but we have no details about it so ring back on Friday'

I'm sorry but this is probably gona be the biggest product launch for o2 this year and this is how their customer service is. It's not as if i'm asking for technical information on specific phones etc.

I get the feeling that maybe the o2 staff have had 'simplicity' chips embedded in their brains

What a complete joke!!!!!!!

This is the top line of an email i received today regarding my iphone.

" Thank you for ordering with The Carphone Warehouse.
this email confirms that your order has now been dispatched from our warehouse and will be delivered to you on the next working day"
Which by my reckoning means my iphone will be settling down in store tomorrow.. for collection Friday
