By Ewan on July 27, 2008 in News

If you, er, order an iPhone from Carphone Warehouse’s site, you’ll see this rather concerning delivery note (in bright red) at the order page: Bear in mind it’s Sunday evening on the 27th of July and the ordering system here is promising to have my new iPhone delivered to me by Friday 25th.

By Dan Lane on July 10, 2008 in News

While we’ve heard multiple horror stories of O2 cocking up web pre-orders, I’ve not heard a peep from anyone ordering their iPhone 3G from Carphone Warehouse’s website.

So much so, it seems, that the device is once again selling out. Mobile Today quotes one Carphone Warehouse staffer as saying “it’s like launch day again”. [...]
