CarPhoneWarehouse in nutgrove has an 8gig white iphone in stock, that's all

Most of the CarPhoneWarehouses seem to have gotten a delivery in yesterday which disappeared quickly, and no more due til next week.

O2 are due some in today but these'll mostly be going to people on the list. On that topic, where in Dublin are the o2 shops? Their site doesn't say, and I onlyknow the Dundrum, Nutgrove and Grafton Street ones...

White iPhone is 16gb only

Sigh. Went into the 02 shop in Wilton and they were seductively unloading a box of them. For people on the list only though, so I put my name down too. I really hate the way they always wince when I tell them that I want the 16GB black, I know the damn waiting list is long, don't rub it in!

Also if someone could post should they find out the o2 network is back up it'd be hugely appreciated. I almost got my hands on one in a Carphone Warehouse somewhere else only to find out they can't sell them today, and they can't reserve them either. Gutted!

Just got a call from O2 shop in Crescent SC Limerick to say they'll have mine on Wednedsay - woohoo! She said they're getting in ten of each type.

does anyone know if its possible to swap a black and a white iphone on o2. I have a black 16gb but really wanted the white and might be able to convince my friend. Is there any trouble regarding warranty ?

thanks

just got a call from 02 in crescent shopping centre limerick also and was told mine will be in on tuesday, a mate of mine got a call yesterday and told that his one is in available in cruises street today, although he was close to the top of the list there. there were at least 10-15 people ahead of me on the list for the crescent so some decent numbers of stock must be due to arrive

I just checked again and the netwrok is still down.

Gauge

Yeah. I'm wondering if the o2 website goes back up, does that mean the network is back up?

BigglesMcGee

they're back

Gauge

Wait the network is back now?

BigglesMcGee

Got a call to say it was back. drove to the shop. one more click and it was done and the network went down again ##@~~@~@'

The whole network of systems are down, there was a power outage in one of their data centres.

They really should have better response times that 6+ hours.

Power outage in a data centre?? ah Jesus are O2 that amateur? I work in I.T. and any Data Centre we use has full generator backup for 4 days!!!!

That's what I would have thought too.

It's affecting loads of services -- text messaging, o2.ie, & internal systems!

Villain

Lovely I moved from Vodafone because it took them 11 days to fix a local mast, I do wonder sometimes how Ireland can have such crap providers.

I'm just wondering, anyone who bought the iPhone from the o2 online store last Tuesday, have you received the iPhone yet and how long did it take to arrive?

Cheers

Me too!! It was right there in front of me, ready to go, upgrade details sorted and everything went as he tried to put it through... this time they said they'd hold it for me til 6pm if the systems come back, guess if they don't I'm back to the drawing board again!

And now my phone is out, so they cant contact me. Someone doesnt want me to get one

Hi all,

Does anyone know is it possible to change the text message sound?

I've managed to create ringtones in iTunes and export them to the phone.

There's no option to use a custom sound as a text message tone...is there any way around this?

Not on the 2.0 firmware yet.. there was an application pre 2.0 called 'Ringtones' which allowed you to set a custom SMS tone.

because of o2's fook up, it means that Apple won't be getting in as many sales from iphones from Ireland today.

I wonder what criteria Apple go through to choose a good network provider for their iphones.

Do they not realise how incredibly bad O2 are??

Gauge

Feck it, they'll get the sales anyway, those ipods won't be sitting around for long.

5.45pm and no phone call, guess I'm SOL REALLY pissed off about this! Bloody o2!

Edit: I guess if the network is still down my iPhone should still be there tomorrow morning... if I'm lucky...

BigglesMcGee

Got a call and they are still down. He promised to keep it for me til the system is back up though.

Basq

For all you Windows users, WinPwn 2.0.4 has been released to allow you to upgrade to the 2.0.1 firmware.

Site seems to be overloaded right now though!
