Nick,
Carphone's rules of sale: the iPhone is non-returnable unless you fail the o2 credit check.
Customer buys the phone for £279 in-store, goes home, does their own credit check on the Apple website. Most (est. 95%) will pass the check, = no return of the iPhone. Out of the remaining 5%, some will need to pay £100, = no return.
The rest that fail, have to bring in proof of the fail to obtain a refund. So don't pay your credit card bills for a while, that'll get you your £279 back ;-).
the sheeple im sorry did i say sheeple i mean't people will be flocking up in line for an iphone .I reckon they will sell in the region of 15,000 by the 10th of november
I wonder how many IPhones Carphone predicts will be returned within:
a) 1 Day
b) 1 Week
c) 1 Month

Answers on a postcard to Mr Jobs please.
they'll sell wild and while sales might not be exactly the same rate as US (one more reason is the unlocking/updating blues), the managers/board will buy enough of them - of course, as early christmas presents - to slightly exceed their bet... let's say 10,500 :-)
I'd say 12,500 iphones will be sold, 1500 of which will turn up on ebay unlocked for a few quid more....

btw the note book AMD sent me is about used up, their pen ran out aswell, so I could really use an apple one
Humble guess
I would say 11000 iphones. Bear in mind that Christmas is comming and despite all the negative publicity iphone is quite good gadget to have.
...the Ebay crowd, eager to resell ASAP. And since when did board members ever pay for anything :P

I'm pitching at 14,278 between 6pm and 10pm on 9 Nov in CPW UK stores....
I'll go for 8888, it's a half-smart phone at best, the hype should be over by now (I wish).

Look out for that MacBook on ebay soon everyone, and happy bidding!
I'm going to guess that 8000 iPhones will be sold
They will nick it at 9798units.....
I'll put out there 16250
8000

Just as it did here in America.

17,111.

With all their marketing they're bound to sell 20,000 iphones.
I think it'll do better than people here seem to expect. I'd reckon more around 32,000.
15373

not many are informed about the problems with the new phones, so the iphone mania is just going to grow...

13250 phones is my guess
16,700 suckers will lay down their money.
... 8,113 iFawns to her loyally fruity subjects.
8,752
13468
54321

...12345 iPhoneys.

Check your facts on comparative porkiness. The UK is catching up fast with the US.

11,111 is my completely uninformed guess (i really hope it isn't that many though!)
I think 9,500

Fingers crossed :-)
mystic Jaz predicts 8567
How's about 6,666 - a nice *round* number!

The other 3,334 will stay at the bar...
23,000
11236 iPhones
9966 iphones sold.

damn i want that paper notebook !
I reckon 7489 people with little sense will waste their money at the Carphone on the first day!
I don't think they will fly of the shelves as people expect i reckon about 9700
I'll go for 8888, it's a half-smart phone at best, the hype should be over by now (I wish).

well i reckon they gonna sell no more than 12.012 of those :)
just a wild guess
