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'd give up, but i want to receive on launch day!

[Kurtisloew Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:35AM]

Never could get it to work through Apple. Had to pre-order through AT&T. Hope it actually gets here on time.

[hivie7510 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:36AM]

How long before you know it isnt going to work. I am tired up resubmitting the info

[Kurtisloew Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:36AM]

AT&T site worked just fine. Seems like the link between the 2 was bad.

[VintageClash Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:38AM]

@Kurtisloew im on my att site and no option :(

[Cash9007 Posted Jun 15th 2010 5:12AM]

@VintageClash

You have to log into your account, and then go through the "upgrade your equipment" selection, or however it is phrased. Once there, you'll see the 4 as an upgrade option.

[mfpolasky Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:36AM]

My order went through but I have yet to receive the confirmation email. Anyone receive theirs?

[bluefish1 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:39AM]

@mfpolasky just got mine now

[hivie7510 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:37AM]

I only get a maintenance site for the att store

[socal02 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:37AM]

im furious! fuck the black iphone! what is this bs? stuck with the same old looking black iphone? no thnx!

[jzetz Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:37AM]

I just HAD to close my first "Processing Screen" in hopes that restarting it would make it go FASTER!! Guess I was wrong :P

[UrAwFuL Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:38AM]

Ha! I ordered the $29 dock before the phone! Although it's gonna be shipped by July. :[

[goweb Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:38AM]

@Geeebeee It's $300 with a contract. The £600 is for a SIM-free, and therefore carrier-unlocked, phone. This is about right for an unlocked smartphone.

If that's too much for you then wait until the UK carriers announce their pricing. The PAYG price should be a bit lower than this, and the contract price should be even lower.

[dsin2010 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:38AM]

its not working for me:(

[runZombies Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:38AM]

ugh, 30+ attempts... I give up.

[dakazu Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:38AM]

I'm also stuck on Processing Information: Please wait while we access your AT&T account information. :(

[kyphem Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:38AM]

But didn't they say that AT&T does not guarantee 24th delivery?

[Frank3421 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:39AM]

Slowly but surely moving through the steps :) At pick a location to ship now...

[EckoGRY Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:39AM]

This is absolutely ridiculous.

[rpang10 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:39AM]

fck off £499 for 16gb and £599 for 32gb fcking stupid expensive or what and plus the white iphone 4 is not availiable yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not happy :L

[zacharys1988 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:39AM]

I got through and preordered a 32 gig. I am eligible for upgrade but it says 699. WTF apple?! That number better change

[jhuang Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:39AM]

Go through the AT&T site if you can. My order for a black 16gb went through just now pretty painlessly, but maybe it's becuase I already had an online account linked to the phone number I wanted to upgrade. By the time my order was complete and I got the confirmation e-mail, my two Apple pre-order windows (in two diff browsers) were still processing.

Good luck, everyone!

[hivie7510 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:42AM]

@jhuang
The ATT site is only showing 3GS, no 4G

[VintageClash Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:42AM]

@jhuang mine desnt show the iphone 4 option and my upgrade status is good to go.. :::sigh:::

[Statusnone88 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:43AM]

@hivie7510 same here, no iPhone 4 option for me

[surfingnc Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:46AM]

@jhuang what the heck?!?!?!

[jhuang Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:50AM]

@hivie7510 Try http://www.att.com/wireless/iphone/?rel=nofollow&wtSlotClick=1-003F2I -- that's the link I used. And maybe clear your cache.. I'm hearing that works too.

[jhuang Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:50AM]

@VintageClash Try http://www.att.com/wireless/iphone/?rel=nofollow&wtSlotClick=1-003F2I -- that's the link I used. And maybe clear your cache.. I'm hearing that works too.

[Stewie Vader Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:40AM]

Heads up! If you plan to order through the Apple website and want it shipped to you, it will only allow shipping to the address on the account. No option to change delivery address...

[skuDZ Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:40AM]

I get to the screen where I decide to pick up in store or get it shipped, and it always times me out!

[Knakane Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:41AM]

Just got thru!!!...Yes!!!...Sleep!!!!

[oberon1987 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:42AM]

Order went through 5 minutes ago. Keep trying everyone!

[brianshall Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:48AM]

@oberon1987 Nobody likes you.

Fuk I want to sleep!!!!!!!

[Jeremy8778 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:42AM]

Second processing screen for me too.... still spinning.

[KirbyKoot401 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:42AM]

um so i can order the phone for my mother who is the main phone of the line but no choice for me....? (which her contract ends next year so no thanks)

[lukeh Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:42AM]

If you're on ATT dial *NEW# to get a text to find out if you're eligible ... down side is they are charging an $18 upgrade fee for "valued customers" .. what a crock of s***

[squirrelybastrd Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:44AM]

i'll stay up til at&t opens if this bs continues..i'll walk right in there with my laptop in hand and processing info screen and raise hell 8-)

[Frank3421 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:45AM]

@squirrelybastrd

haha lol

[surfingnc Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:44AM]

um, what AT&T site? I go to www.att.com but it still says notify me. Apple's site is effing slow. Been at the spinning wheel for 45 min... wtf

[bigbank Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:45AM]

@surfingnc click on the shop tab, then phones, then smartphones

[phoenx97 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:45AM]

Good news for iPhone 2g owners: you're eligible for the $30/mo unlimited data plan carryover (tho my session expired before I actually bought it, but the option was there)

[hivie7510 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:45AM]

For those that made it, are you waiting on the wheel or retrying

[oproski Posted Jun 15th 2010 6:08AM]

@hivie7510

Waiting for a bit. If more than 1 min, retrying.

[MightyY Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:46AM]

Just upgraded through AT&T's site. Going back to bed.

[Frank3421 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:47AM]

@MightyY

asshole

[spasticcolon4 Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:48AM]

@MightyY BS. iPhone 4 not available on ATT site.

[MightyY Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:50AM]

@spasticcolon4

It really is. I logged into my account and upgraded my existing line and it was there. Try it. OK. Now really - I'm going back to bed.

[DaPhatty Posted Jun 15th 2010 4:52AM]

@MightyY I hope you didn't buy the 3Gs. I just tried the same thing and ATT did not have the iPhone 4 available.
