iPhone arrives in UK

Called by my local O2 store this evening for the launch of the Apple iPhone and to get my hands on one to at least try it out.
Out of the 30 or so people in the line there were a good number of Japanese teenagers. Were they hoping to get their hands on the iPhone before they flew home?

Almost everyone headed for the tills without even bothering to play with the half dozen iPhones set out for trying. They seemed to have made their minds up to actually buy the iPhone.

Noted that in the Carphone Warehouse store the display models were all 4GB capacity iPhones. Has Apple shipped all the discontinued 4GB'rs to the UK (and Europe) for use as display models?....

Not going to get one - impressed as I am with it now I have held one in the flesh the capacity at 8GB is too small, the tariff too expensive and lack of 3G makes it too slow.

I will wait for the iPhone 2...
