QUOTE(stringfellow @ Jun 18 2010, 06:14 PM) The good news kept on coming. I've just made a call to Apple Store Regent Street (phone number 0044207153900), and talked to the Apple Genius on the line, and yes, he confirmed that you can nominate a third party person to pick up your iPhone 4 on launch day. The Apple Genius itself sounds so happy, and congratulates me! 24th, here I come!  interesting...... havent had feedbacks from my counterparts at UK.... and i still want a white iphone.... hope when they launch in OZ, they'll be whiteys..... |

QUOTE(nokia2003 @ Jun 18 2010, 10:09 AM) not sure how things have changed since i left UK. but as far as my memory can go, the 17.5% VAT isn't net 17.5%. you actually obtain a percentage less than 17.5 (after deducting miscellaneous charges/fees). students or overseas citizen with a working visa et cetera cannot claim the VAT (but the custom officers do sometimes to check for your visa) and process your claim. but there shouldn't be any problems for tourists (afterall you are encouraged to shop there!) Damn..my friend's a student..guess cant help me claim back the VAT now..  |

I didn't pre-booked an iPhone, is there still a chance for me to get an iPhone if I queue outside the Belfast Apple Store early in the morning of the 24th? Is there still stock to buy one outright? Or is it available only for those who pre-booked?
