Apple iPhone 4 pre-orders are go, unlocked in UK!

You know what to do... unless you wanted the iPhone 4 in white which is unavailable for pre-order. Pricing for a SIM-free and unlocked iPhone 4 is set at £499 (16GB) or £599 (32GB) in the UK or €629 (16GB) and €739 (32GB) in France. Pre-orders are limited to two per customer.

P.S. The 8GB iPhone 3GS is out for those of you looking to keep it old school at $99 on a two-year AT&T contract.

Update: Looks like Apple's servers are struggling to keep up. For what it's worth, we hear that US pre-orderers are having more success with the AT&T link found in the source below.

I'm doing it right now!!!

[rand0 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:04AM]

@1 STUNNA

NO WHITE!? WTF!!!!!???

[1 STUNNA Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:04AM]

@1 STUNNA

IT CRAPPED OUT ON ME!!!!

Everyone else log off until I'm done!!

[uckApple Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:06AM]

@1 STUNNA

Lmao I sent in a fake "The apple store is open!"

And it turns out.. they actually are!

[1 STUNNA Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:08AM]

@1 STUNNA I figured out the problems it turns out there's 570 wife base stations on this site right now. So I'm going to need everyone to turn off their wifi or I can't order my damn phone!!!

[Cash9007 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:10AM]

@1 STUNNA

Dammit... keeps hanging on the processing order screen. I blame AT&T, as it seems the order has to be verified through their network first.

Bastards. Is there nothing AT&T can't ruin for me?

[MadHat Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:10AM]

@rand0 WTF indeed. I'm holding off until we find out when we can place orders for white. Bummer.

[BrookLynnsFinest Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:12AM]

@rand0

The white is FUGLY though....just get the Black. You'll be much happier I'm sure...

[rand0 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:14AM]

@BrookLynnsFinest

Already have a Black 3GS ~ Time to switch it up!

[asaini0603 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:16AM]

@1 STUNNA ugh, you cant preorder it through Apple if you have a business account. the AT&T store isnt preordering yet

[1 STUNNA Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:18AM]

@1 STUNNA

Now I can't get past the accessing AT&T account info section. I got all the way up to the pickup in store option and now nothing is working. I don't have time for this I'm supposed to work in the morning!

[Nvtwist Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:18AM]

@1 STUNNA
Ha, Crashed the Apple store.

[nathanrobinson Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:25AM]

@1 STUNNA if you click learn more on the applecare protection plan it says "Whether you're sitting in the comfort of your home or office or on the go, you can get direct access to Apple experts for questions on a wide range of topics, including:

Syncing with iTunes

hello confirmation of iWork for iPhone ;)

I wanted white, but I just bought black

[jzetz Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:27AM]

@1 STUNNA

Have you gotten through the "Processing Your Request" yet?

[zerotwone Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:47AM]

I've been looking at a screen for 20 minutes that says:

"Please wait while we access your AT&T account information."

[1 STUNNA Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:52AM]

@jzetz I did the first two times but now I can't. I got three browsers trying right now and they're all stuck in the same spot.

[1 STUNNA Posted Jun 15th 2010 5:10AM]

@1 STUNNA The AT&T Pre-order page is LIVE and trouble free! I just preordered my black 32GB over there!!

[1 STUNNA Posted Jun 15th 2010 5:21AM]

@1 STUNNA

[zerotwone Posted Jun 15th 2010 5:52AM]

@1 STUNNA

I was using Chrome, Firefox and Safari to open the Apple pre-order page without luck. I waited nearly an hour with all three browsers. I finally opened up IE8 and processed my pre-order in about 1 minute.

Ironic.

[XChrisX Posted Jun 15th 2010 6:53AM]

@1 STUNNA It keeps hanging on me as well, and now it's offline and will be back shortly.

[MikeWard1701 Posted Jun 15th 2010 8:25AM]

@1 STUNNA Just called Orange and apparently Apple have halted all UK network/third party preorders due to stock issues.

[Rainman56 Posted Jun 15th 2010 8:54AM]

@1 STUNNA : I am ordering right now on the west coast. It's been processing for at least 10 minutes.

[Vellie Posted Jun 15th 2010 8:57AM]

@rand0 So I was planning on getting a white one for my wife and seeing they dont have the white I am gonna preorder from AT&T since they have a 30 day grace period and hopefully they will have the white in 30 days. If you order from Apple it only has a 14-day period on unopened merchandise or 10% stocking fee with the opened merchandise.

[GMoney Posted Jun 15th 2010 9:31AM]

@1 STUNNA

Are there seriously so many pre-orders that Apple's servers can't keep up? I wonder what will happen to Apple's stock today?

[FallingFreon Posted Jun 15th 2010 10:16AM]

@1 STUNNA AT&T is blocking management employees from pre-ordering a device :( Confirmed from mobility store employee. Not a shocker, but not enjoyed. How do we recommend the product if we can't use one?!

[MikeWard1701 Posted Jun 15th 2010 10:26AM]

@1 STUNNA
Update for UK buyers!

• O2, Three, and Caprphone Warehouse say they will not be taking preorders, that iPhones will be first-come first-served on June 24th.
• Vodafone say they were planning to start taking preorders today, but technical issues have delayed this 'til tomorrow.
• T-Mobile will not be receiving stock until the 24th and then have to perform network testing, they advised me that availability will be significantly after the June 24th release.
