....pre-ordered an Apple product for the first time ever on the first day (iPhone 4S White) for my wife. I was awake till past midnight last night (despite having to wake up at 5.30am to go to work) hoping the pre-orders will start, but it didn't. Finally managed to place the order during my tea break.

Delivery is in the week 21st-28th Oct. I may just nip in to my local Apple store next Saturday to pick one & cancel my online order.

There's a lot of that happening, apparently. I'm sure it's what he would've wanted.

RE: In honour of Steve Jobs....

I ordered my iphone 4s yesterday with 3 . i'm not sure if i did the right thing as i would never normaly pay £35 a month for there text 500 plan and £49 upfront. I used to think spendng £15 a month was far to much and my plans were to get a 3GS and go pay monthly for £10 month so i'm still wondering if i should cancel my order

Please tell you ordered the phone because you like the features etc. rather than because the CEO of the company has just died?

I named one of my new Degus Steve in his honour.

No, had already decided to buy it. Pre-ordered it for Mr. Jobs. Smile

I've never pre-ordered a phone before.

I've got an Android phone (HTC Sensation) & a Windows 7 laptop, my wife has a MacBook & now will have an iPhone. Good to have all ecosystems in the house. Smile

They are small furry beasties from Chile.  Image shrinking a squirrel two times and shaving its tail, your pretty much there.

degu party!

 

Ah, that's a wee baby. You can't really buy them for about 8 weeks untill they have weened, so they look more like this. This is Chopsy, he is about 5 now but was only a year old in this pic. His chum Leo (short for king leonidus) had to be put down last Saturday as he was in a bad way, so now we have two more to keep Chopsy company. We have Steve and Stormy (full title of 'The Dark Lord Stormaggedon').

If cutbacks haven't bitten too deep, there's still good psychiatric help available. Laughing out loud
