    What are you most impressed with? One thing I really want to know is, are the speakers much better than in the first iPhone. Not volume wise, just clearer (I hope! If you compare the old iPhone with an even older Nokia the Nokia wins on clarity hands down!)
    Does anywhere have any stocks of 16gb white?

  • Ordered mine over the phone through CPW's sales team as I'm currently on month 17 of a month 18 contract with O2@CPW. I'm can't wait for it to be delivered on Monday, I'm so excited. I'm getting it delivered to work, not that I'll be doing much of that when it arrives!!

    I cannot understand why anyone would find the 3G version a 'must have', especially when there are so many worthy alternatives with GPS and better cameras. That said - do remember O2 are also making the handset available on pre-pay, so no credit check, no risk of credit reference defaults etc etc.

    Seems the most sensible way to go....
    The HTC Touch Diamond is now instock for instance and is Windows OS, 3G and 3.2 MPixel camera. just go to Google and type in HTC Touch Diamond and Upfront cashback to find great deals better than the iPhone

    16 Gb white? No chance at o2, rumours of being available at apple stores

    Speaker is very clear, surprisingly.

    Can't give any details on call as o2 still haven't activated my sim!

    I have registered the phone on iTunes but o2 still have not activated my sim so has not been activated.

    Once I get a signal will it get activated automatically now?

    Ok, I'm ashamed. I was on business in Lincoln, woke up early and decided to go for a walk from the hotel (top of 'Steep Hill') to the O2 shop at the bottom. Ended up 7th in the queue and have got a 16GB.

    I had to wait till I got home this evening to activate it and have now done so. Very nice but am still waiting on O2 to activate the sim so I can play with it properly!!!

    Does anyone know if you have to sign the contract in o2 or carphone warehouse, or do they just let you buy the phone without signing any contract or activating it instore???
