I don't plan on queuing on Friday, though I might make my way to a shopping centre out of morbid curiosity. Interesting, thanks for the info Ben.

Hoping the Apple Store may have the white one in stock at launch... Thanks for the info Ben, if that’s the case, I may as well forget about queuing on Fri.

What amazes me even more is how they’ve managed to sell out when their site has been down/dysfunctional all day! Managed to put my details through for the pre-order upgrade but doubting very much that they’ve got my name on one of the boxes. I wasn’t even offered a choice of white/black despite choosing the 16GB model. Did anyone have better luck with the choice of colours for the 16GB?

But seriously, the iPhone 3G looks much more appetizing than the original. They just need to bring that pricepoint a little lower, and they'll have me hooked. Saying this, the inclusion of all-you-can-eat 3G mobile internet has got me salivating at the mouth! Haha, looks like o2 shot themselves in the foot!
