Title: Anyone want an iPhone 4 32gb ??
Post by: vRStu on July 30, 2010, 12:20:35 pm
I've just received an email from the store to say the one I reserved last week is ready for collection in Southampton.      :sad:

Bit of a bummer as the one I ordered online is somewhere in transit with an expected delivery of 9th August!!  It's too late for me to cancel now.

If someone is looking for one then you are welcome to take my reservation.

Just feed them a bit of a line saying your going away at short notice with work etc and won't be around to collect it.

Im sure they can stop it as it hasn't arrived in the UK yet (or is in a sorting Depot somewhere) so they would prob just divert it to a Apple Store.

Or get both and sell the second one on eBay for £1100. I've seen them go for around that :stupid:

Worth a try?

Just spoken to Apple Store.  They advise best course of action is to go and buy the second one and then return the first one for refund when it arrives.

They have a 30 day no quibble policy and the courier collection is at their expense.

One possible issue is I don't yet have my Micro Sim from Vodafone so I'll have to go instore and see if they'll give me one.

Ive just ordered a 32GB iPhone 4.
I could try to cancel my order though.

If I purchased yours instead, would I still have the warranty etc in my name, considering if will have your billing details on the invoice?

I think people have misunderstood my intentions here.

Initially I was offering the ability to purchase (from Apple) the iPhone I had reserved at the store as I already had one paid for and in transit. 

Sorry to have caused any confusion, especially to the extremely deluded person who PM'd me and said they take it off my hands if it was under £500.  I think I'd be selling them all day if I was selling £600 handsets for under £500!!

I've now collected the handset from the store and have been using it  :notworthy:

I've not decided what to do with the second one yet.  I was going to send it straight back but Carl suggested eBay as did the guy in the Apple Store however I think her indoors has taken a shine to it as well.

Sadly no.

I am very impressed with it though, a big step up from the 3G I have been using.

Just need to decide on my free case/bumper now.
