O2 Ireland says demand outstripping supply for iPhone 3GS
By Ben Robinson on Wednesday, August 26th, 2009 at 1:18 PM PST In O2, iPhone
Mobile News is reporting that O2 (NYSE: TEF) Ireland apparently has a shortage of the iPhone 3GS, meaning that customers are having to wait weeks to get a device.
Logistics seem to have been a somewhat variable problem for Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) since the device was launched – checking O2’s UK website on a regular basis, I’ve seen a mixture of messages about no stock, limited stock, and somewhat more plentiful supplies.
Once that initial burst of demand is over, hopefully more people will be able to get what is in my opinion the best device on the market, in their hands.
I wonder what the most popular memory/colour configuration has been in Ireland?

I don’t think they got big deliveries of the 3GS into Ireland. The country is in the middle of a nasty recession so perhaps they felt high spec phones were not going to sell as well as before?
O2 does not care about their customers with regards the Iphone 3GS. They are running a ‘Russian Roulette’ form of selling, in that you would have to call down to a store everyday, in order to get a chance to buy one. There is no way they will accept pre payment or Orders. I have now been waiting 2.5 months and still not been able to get one. Very bad
