Comments on: Upgraders – you can still get a 16GB 3G iPhone on Friday http://www.allaboutiphone.net/2008/07/16gb-upgraders-fear-not/ Original comment and commentary, with a UK focus. Not another cut 'n' paste news site.

You'll have to take my word for it. I really did chuckle when that "5,000 per O2 store" figure came out. Likewise I got into a heated argument with someone who insisted that the 16Gb units were all white, when I knew that white wasn't going to be an option for the UK. Prepay was due to launch at £349 for the 8Gb but due to the stock situation we're looking at Christmas now, if at all. Ah, I just know… You’ll have to take my word for it.

I was about to write "surely O2 would have ordered more than that", but based on today's experience, probably not... Lots of pi$$ed off people at the O2 Customer Forums. How do you know only 10% are 16Gb iPhones?

Lots of pi$$ed off people at the O2 Customer Forums.

There's less than 45K iPhones coming to the UK before 20th July and only 10% of these are 16Gb versions; how many pre-orders do you think O2 took online? And the white version is US only for the time being. FYI only “large” O2 stores are going to get the 16Gb version, and almost no CPW stores are.

I'm going to print this out and take it down to my O2 store this evening. They're online ordering service is completely knackered! Thanks Matt.
