***Need help getting Iphone 6 next friday***

    Hi everyone

    Firstly, hope ok to post this here.
    I want to travel to Belfast next friday for iphone 6 launch, and did see the Belfast run thread, but thought I should post my own thread due to the nature of my particular question.

    I am visually impaired so need someone to travel with me, or to get me an iphone if this is not possible. I could try travel on my own, but am worried that I wouldn't be able to actually find Victoria square, and I can't bring my guide dog to something like this where he would have to stand all night, possibly risk getting stood on and where there would be little/no opportunities for him to relieve. If there are any boardsies traveling up on an enterprise a perk of traveling with me is that you get free travel *smiles*
    like I say, if this is not possible, if someone could get me the iPhone I want this would do equally as well.
    If I were able to travel on my own I would take what I believe is the last enterprise, it leaves at something like 10 to 9 and gets to Belfast central close to 11. Victoria square is only a short distance from there.
    If anyone thinks they would be in a position to help me out I'd very very very very much appreciate it!!!!!!
    Please pm if you think you can help.
    Also, if anyone knows if it is possible for us to reserve iphone 6's at the Belfast store for pick up, can someone explain this to me?
    Thanks so much in advance

    If you reserve your phone for pickup between 1500-1600 I am traveling on the 13.20hrs Connolly- Belfast and returning on the 16.05 so a quick turn around. You are welcome to travel with me if it suites.

    Hi. This would be fab. I am working on getting one reserved at the moment as all areas of the reservation process weren't accessible with voice over on the mac. I will let you know how i get on. I rang victoria square and currently on phone to apple in uk via them now. fingers toes and everything else crossable crossed

    This thread has given me a warm fuzzy feeling. :)

    And for once, it's not because of a new iPhone. Fair play to you Heisenberg1, you are a gentleman.

    Don't give him all the credit, he's off downloading the most expensive apps available onto his phone using afterglows's details :D

    I'll be driving, pickup for my reservation is from 3-4pm. You are welcome to come with me too, planning to collect and have a sandwich before returning.
