Diary of a somebody - life in iPhone 4 land

Deja Vu

I believe your mystery correspondent works for the same national mobile phone retailer that I do - my Wednesday and Thursday were an almost carbon copy of theirs, right down to the 'helpful' communications from head office and failure of customers to understand the concept of first come first served. We also had no stock for launch and had to turn away a ridiculous amount of business as well as deal with people blaming us personally for not having any stock.

Things were a little better today as a small amount of stock became available to order in from the warehouse and we managed to sell 2 before they sold out again. Oh, and our area manager granted us permission to purchase one without fear of receiving a p45 with our first bill.

All in all, possibly the worst launch of all the iPhones so far, no mean feat considering what the previous three have been like.

I still want one though
