Iphone 4 tesco

So after reading about the new Iphone went to Antrim Tesco to get one. No sign of it. Even though a lot of Mainlanders have theirs!

I've never seen a contract phone in that store anyway. So it was a shot in the dark.

Anyone no if any Tesco in N.I has a contract phone area?

    They opened a phone shop in the big Tesco's in Newtownabbey a few weeks ago, near the Abbey Centre. I happened to call in the day they opened. They said they're not on commission so will find the best deal for you.
    Must go back actually - was in Carphone Warehouse during the week and it was all hard sell - not very nice. They swiped my card details as a security check just to access upgrade deals. They said it's normal now so that the network can confirm my address but they knew I wasn't going to buy that day. Is it really normal or just a marketing thing?

    New Iphone has a very substantial design flaw...

    "WHEN
    Apple launched its Iphone 4 it described the design as wonderful, innovative, even magical but failed to mention that it is pants."

    i saw an atricle about the bad antenna placement, surely they would have known that people will need to hold the phone at some point...
