Today is the day the iPhone 3G is launched, although I won’t be getting one.
However, a few will. At least one person I know at work managed to get an online order in and is waiting for DHL at home this morning.
Others I know will be camping out outside O2 or Carphone Whorehouse shops at 08.02 (about 5 mins ago) to get theirs.
For me, I was going to be satisfied with the 2.0 software upgrade on my ‘old’ iPhone, but sadly, this was not available at 7am this morning when I had to leave for work.
All a bit of a downer really.
And I have a hangover.
Update: bloke at work waiting on DHL? O2 said he didn’t actually make an order at all, even though they told him on two occasions that he had.

Camping out is right. 2.25 hours from arriving at the queue to leaving with a phone. All the O2 systems have fallen over and they’re filling out everything on paper for entry later (apparently there was a fire at one of the processing centres). The whole affair is somewhat shambolic.
However, I do have a phone!
Latest word is my phone won’t be activated until tomorrow - all the systems at O2 are still down. Wasn’t this handled well?
