Stop! The Apple Store can’t sell iPhones!

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Alrighty,

Whatley here – I just got a call from our man on the street, Dan Lane -

(that’ll be the new version of Nokia PC Suite)

Bless Dan… I almost feel sorry for him.

After hearing that the Apple Store might have some iPhones to sell – our hero decamped to Regent Street to see what he could lay his hands on…

Turns out the answer is NOT MUCH.

Dan is still queuing.

The o2 servers have gone down. The Apple Store hasn’t sold an iPhone for the last TWO HOURS..
Shocking.

Can you say: “Worst. Launch. Ever.” ???

Apparently Apple have drafted in o2 staff to do manual sign ups as the o2 systems couldn’t handle the load.

Brilliant.

Bet you wish you’d waited now… Heh

Oh and by the way, I’m hot desking at the Mippin offices in Fulham today, (Hi Guys!), and I’ve just taken delivery of a brand new Nokia N78 + MD4 speakers from those lovely folk at WOM World…
Expect a review in a couple of weeks.

…and I didn’t even have to queue.

Run! The Apple Store might have iPhones!

The hysteria is truly here. From the young chap Jonathan observed getting nailed by his bosses for standing in the iPhone queue, to our very own Dan Lane, currently dashing across Oxford Street from SMS Text News Towers because a rumour he picked up states the Apple Store has iPhones in stock.??Ruuuuuuuuuun!??When the gadgetlust picks you up, there’s not much you can do, eh? I write this from the front seat of Cecil de Monge’s private taxi heading to Dublin, a good few hundred miles from the iPhone London epicentre. ??Lauren, traveling with me (and Rob, too, both of Sonus PR), pointed out that had we had a bit of time, we could have popped over the border to check out the Northern Irish o2 store acitivity… If any.??So, will our intrepid reporter, Mr Lane, get an iPhone today? Will he satisfy his gadgetlust? ??Keep it locked on 97.5FM sms-text-news.
