From: David Probett on 23 Jun 2010 04:56 I ordered my "IPHONE 4 BLACK 32GB-GBR" from the UK Apple Store on 15 June and received an advice that shipment would not be until 02 July, with delivery around 5 or 6 July. Then I read that Apple are experiencing stock shortages and that orders are being delayed even further, or, in the USA, cancelled completely. This morning, however, I received an e-mail advice that the item had been shipped, via TNT, and that I should expect to receive it tomorrow, 24 June, as per the original advertising publicity. Weird, but, hopefully, very pleasing. David

Do you think apple kept the stock low deliberately, as in the initial batch was buggy, so they can fix the hardware and ship iphone 4s with the revision? Or is the stock shortage just how Apple rolls (it seems to be like this with most new Apple products). Do any UK users have the antenna problem btw? I'm tempted to hold off buying one if it is as wide-spread as the blogs are reporting.

My main problem with the iPhone 4 is that it won't work cos T-Mobile cannot/will not supply the relevant mini-sim until they are supplying the phone to customers. I don't know whether they are fobbing me off or it's what their frontline telephone team are told to say. (This from a bunch that sold me an HTC HD2 with the assurance that it would use the T-Mobile own backup service and runs Android - WRONG on both counts!) Regards - David
