It appears that O2 want to get a slightly early jump on the iPhone 4 when it is released on Thursday as O2 is planning on opening over half of its 400 stores early in anticipation of demand for the new device.
According to a report by Mobile Today, O2 intends to open 243 of their stores across the UK as 8:02am on the 24th of June. I a bit surprised they didn’t opt for the just after midnight time for opening.
Although according to recent reports if you are a new customer there may not be any point in standing outside your local O2 store as O2 has limited the iPhone 4 to existing customers only until the end of July, I guess they just aren’t interested in taking on new customers at the moment.
However, I’m sure if you can’t get the new iPhone 4 from O2 due to their existing customer’s only tactic, there will be several other options available if you really want the iPhone 4, such as Vodafone, Orange, and others.
