8GB iPhone no longer avail?

I ordered an 8GB iPhone from an O2 store recently. It was supposed to arrive yesterday but when I rang them they said that they were having 'supply problems' and couldn't tell me when it would arrive. Since then I've rung around other stores and tried online - everyone keeps on telling me that it's no longer available. Does this mean that they've discontinued the model? Or is it just out of stock?

    Don't quote me on this but I think as the current iPhone is not 3G they are getting rid of these as I think there is a 3G iPhone coming out soon so maybe there is no more stock or they don't want to stock it anymore to make way for the new 3G and I would say dearer version.
    HTH
    If you have a problem fix it, if you can't fix it don't worry because it will happen anyway! :D

    the supply of 8gb has completely run out, some stores may have some left but not many. i don't think they will be back in stock until the new 3g one comes out in june. I work for o2 and we have been told that it has run out

    I live in Scotland and know of only one shop that has them in quite a large stock but other than that, no where...

    If you unlock the 8gb version you can get MMS

    the only problem with unlocking the iphone is that apple do a lot of updates and when they do an update it can re-lock the handset

  • bringmeshoes,
    no problem there- just unlock again, assuming that it doesn't need to be jailbroken and activated. If it does, then do all three again...
    ...and then the window licker said to me...

    as per the my personal experience iphone is not too much good like other mobile
    i think its easy to operate a mobile in comperison of the i-phone
    the price of i-phone is quite high in comperison of any other mobile.

    at £169 it definitely isn't! find me another phone at this sort of price with the same range of features... in fact find me an ipod type device at this price with the same level of features :rolleyes:
