Exactly the same here, their order tracker is rubbish! They've blocked the cash on my credit card too (i.e. had the amount approved but not actually taken it), so I'm just crossing things and hoping for the best at the moment.
I opted for home delivery, not sure if that'll make a difference. I'm unlikely to be in if they try and deliver on Friday though, so sod's law says it's bound to turn up.
Against my better judgement, I just ordered the 16GB iPhone on the £45 tariff from Carphone Warehouse.
Earlier today the website was saying out of stock; the headline was order now, get delivery on Friday, but the small print said "8GB only". Then it changed from "out of stock" to "preorder" and the small print said !8 and 16GB".
So I ordered one. God only knows what will happen next, presumably something will go wrong quite swiftly. O2's systems may have fallen over, but better to not allow orders than to accept thousands that they can't fulfil.
