I've not looked into them too much yet - will probably do so later today; however was hoping to get my own UK contract sorted first. Thanks for the comment and confirmation regarding the US plans.

Id rather it if voda said look, we will have prices by X date and pre order on, but so far saying nothing is just getting everyone annoyed.

if todays news is to be believed apparently apple uk has sold out in the uk already as well, so lets hope this wont have a knock on effect for the network sales
