Is there anyone left on here who is waiting for the UK launch
I am although i wont be getting one until after my exams finish on the 10th, So im happy as long as its released by then
I still am! Even though I bought one, I'll be picking up a 16gb as well for my girlfriend. Also, I think by the time it's released I'll be pining for a dock and case.Is there anyone left on here who is waiting for the UK launch
Did anyone see this article? Apologies it's a bit old, but it's nice to know how they propose to spend taxpayers money!
It is the D*ily M*il so I wouldn't expect the truth.
Meanwhile did anyone else spot this in the article........
Takes me back
I'm as impatient and disappointed as the others, but I'm still waiting. I really don't want to get one off eBay. I'm hoping I can have one delivered to me rather than have to go to the store. There are only 2 stores in my country.
yea...it took *forever* ( or about 2 hours )
remember to use an Oregon address or similar...one with no state tax!
Yeah, I find it much more fun to have the anticipation build as launch day edges closer, and then to be a part of the explosion of new people who own one.
If I wanted to have one by now, or to be one of the first, it doesn't look like it was too hard. I'm just not going down that road. But I'm glad some have, cos we get to hear some little reviews and ask questions.
The only way I'd import one is if they announce that it's delayed in the UK for months, or if they shaft us on the price beyond what I'm already expecting.

ive been repeatedly checking eBay for the last couple of days as my frustration (and childishness) grows! but the more I look the more I am amazed that SO many people have given in and bought from there.
dont get me wrong, im as excited an apple fanboy as anyone else on here but I have yet to see what you could class as a good deal on there.
You cant (to my knowledge) find anything UK based for more than a few pounds under £500, and thats for the 16GB model...which we're expecting to be no more than £420-£430 on launch...is £70-£80 worth having it a week or 2 early? If you ship from the states you run the risk of incurring import taxes that bring the price to around about the same anyway, or more if you're really unlucky, and then there's the possible delays etc.
Obviously if people have the money spare then good on you, im not having a pop and i dont mean to come across so negative, cos i have come so close to caving myself, i guess im just typing this out to try and convince myself not to press "Buy Now"

in that case not at all! I wanted to subscribe to a few US magazines and didnt see the point in paying state tax on top of the listed price! ( well...thats my thinking anyway....I havent actually bought anything as the pad doesnt arrive until thursday lol )
sounds like he's paid you with a paypal gift - and not paid the fee, which means you have.
try and get hold of him and ask for the other 15 queenheads.

Was it easy to unlock? Considering this route to use my iPhone in the US. Bill last time with just a tiny amount of browsing was over £150.
he didnt pay from balance or gift the payment...so you ended up paying their tasty fees
Unless stated otherwise, I always expected the seller to pay the PayPal fees. If you had stated that only PayPal Gift is accepted, and the buyer is to pay any fees, then yes, I would say you could go back and ask for the extra £15, but my understanding is that the seller takes the PayPal fee hit, unless agreed differently beforehand.
Yup between eBay fees and Paypal, it can work out quite expensive to make money!
Been selling some old bits and pieces on their recently (it's paid for my iPad) and the fees are stunning!
So that £15.80 was just my seller fee from paypal then , i havent got screwed over by the buyer then ?
No, you have to pay a fee for using PayPal.
Unless you made a prior agreement for the buyer to pay the PayPal fees, it is your responsibility (the seller) to pay them.
You should have read the terms and conditions before signing up. You are also going to get a bill from eBay for about 10% of the sale price for their selling fees.
