Apple iPhone already on sale in UK!

Amazon sent me an email today saying that they had iPhones for sale already. Wasn't going to launch my in stock checker until the release date but I had a look and, indeed, Prizeflex Ltd claim to be selling them! Bit too expensive for me though...

The official release date is in early November and the price for the 8GB model is £269. So if you want an iPhone but are willing to wait a little while, you can sign up to the notification service mentioned above and an email will be sent out to you when stock comes in.

Apple iPhone in stock checker

Similar to the one I did for the Nintendo Wii (which is still proving popular), I've set up an email notification service for folk gagging to get their hands on the soon-to-be-released Apple iPhone. When there are iPhones in the shops, you'll receive an alert via email. Sign up now!

Bypass automated phone answering services

Another real world hack (in addition to the elevator one and how to shortcut to a real person in automated phone system) -- how to bypass the "please leave a message after the beep" message.

My mobile phone is packing up. I've got to get a new one, preferably one with those mp3 ring tones instead of the tinny bleepy ones. One of the guys in the office has the sound of cows mooing. The newer phones seem to emit less radiation too, so if I can't afford a newer model I guess I may have to get some of these anti-radiation pants!
