    you can buy the iPhone 4 on the 3 network direct from Apple NOW (actually from yesterday 24th)
    3 have a register for iPhone4 page on their site - I would reckon that it won't be long before they've got them themselves, but if you haven't already registered, combined with the apparent lack of available stock (across all sales/distribution channels) I wouldn't be holding my breath if I were you :(

    I'm sure I read somewhere it was looking like mid july to August before Three were getting them.

    Three won't be getting its first (very limited) batch until the 14th July. These have been pre allocated to customers within their upgrade window who registered interest online with Three before the 20th June. No mention yet as to when the second batch will arrive. With roll out to other parts of the world towards end of July even August is optimistic as Three are very low down Apple's food chain. Tesco (who as an existing supplier and therefore probably higher up the food chain) were rumored to have only had 500 handsets allocated to them.

    Best bet is sign up at Apple Store when they get back in stock

    If only there was some kind of website where Three could put this sort of information ...

    Or just the fact that Three didn't secure stock for launch date.

    3 don't have the iPhone 4 but they do have the iPhone 3g. I just got told on the phone via the customer service as I'm threatening to move providers. Got offered one as part of my negotiations but declined as I hate Apple and the iPhone (have an iTouch and hate it).

    Bear in mind a batch of 600,000 or so iPhone 4's went to the states

    O2 we giving them on Upgrades/Existing customers only
    Orange's stock all went on pre orders
    even if you order on Apple's website they are not guaranteeing delivery before the 14th July

    Just be patient, Hopefully Apple will have ironed out the signal issue by the time the next wave comes and waiting a few days for the phone wont really kill you will it

    I have seen that 3 Mobile seem to offer the best deals but I am put off by the bad reputation that they have with signal and customer services.

    I live in Chester and work in Manchester is the signal really that bad as I wouldn't want to tie in to a contract for a phone I can't use.
