What did I say in the OP.....
What i said seems to stand true.... Meanwhile, I am picking up at my closest Apple store on the 22nd
To be fair on EE, it was absolute pandemonium this year. I was in the Q at 1pm, store opened at 13:03 - kept getting errors, my pre-order disappeared, finally managed to get a confirmed order for pick up at 13:13
It doesn't really help anyone by gloating. There's a lot of reasons people order directly from the network, the main one being is that tens of thousands of us are on anytime upgrade plans, where we give the old phone back and get a new phone each year. For £99 a month we get a brand new phone every 12 months along with unlimited everything and usage abroad. A lot of folks also know people at EE, so we get a further 30% off, making it only £66 a month.
For whatever reason so many people can't get approved for Barclays finance, not to mention that every year you want to upgrade they do yet another full credit check.
Every year it's the same thing, every year we all say how annoying it is and how tedious it is, but it's just one of those things, if you want the phone on launch day, you have to play the game.
