UK: Monday 6th July: iPhone 3GS stock update
By Ben Robinson on Sunday, July 5th, 2009 at 4:34 PM PST In O2, iPhone
Just a quick one, to update you on iPhone 3GS – something I thought I’d do as I’ve been hearing various conflicting reports about availability…
Right now, apparently, there is ‘limited availability’ of some 3GS variants – here’s the official blurb from O2 (NYSE: TEF):
iPhone 3GS limited availability:
Due to the phenomenal demand for the new iPhone 3GS, we currently have limited stock available. If you plan to purchase in store we advise you check availability before traveling
Retail Stores and over the phone – Limited availability of iPhone 3GS 16GB Black and White and iPhone 3GS 32GB Black. Due to demand the iPhone 3GS 32GB White is currently out of stock.
Online – We currently have limited available of the iPhone 3GS 32GB Black. The iPhone 3GS 32GB White and iPhone 3GS 16GB are currently out of stock.
We expect additional stock of the iPhone 3GS to be available in all channels next week. Please continue to check o2.co.uk/iphone for updates.
The staff that I have spoken to are saying Wednesday 8th July for the next delivery, so if you want to avoid scrabbling around for a unit, then I’d wait till Wednesday morning!
You can check the O2 website for stock info here.
I tried ordering a 16GB 3GS from mobiles.co.uk who stated on their website on Friday 10th July they were in stock.
On phoning today (Tuesday 14th July) theys said they hadn’t got stock yet (even though the website was showing availability).
Misleading customers me thinks!
The iPhone 3GS 16GB is now back in stock at mobiles.co.uk http://bit.ly/1aGrcA
