UPDATE: We’ve had an official response to news that iPhone 3G deliveries will be delayed from O2. Take a look here.
O2 might have promised to get pre-ordered iPhone 3G handsets into customers’ hands first thing Friday morning, but we’ve just had word from the company that they’ll actually be delivered next week.
In a phone call to O2 customer services this afternoon, we asked whether iPhone 3G handsets would definitely be delivered on Friday.
“No, no. They’re coming in here on Friday,” we were told. “So you’ll probably get it on Monday or Tuesday.”
So much for the advantages of pre-ordering.
It also seems not everyone who has pre-ordered successfully will know about it. Despite our own order being logged on O2’s systems, we’ve yet to receive a confirmation e-mail. It’s a good job we hadn’t started queuing outside The Carphone Warehouse already.
