There has been a lot of hush-hush about which stores that will sell the much sought after iPhone upon its release in the United Kingdom and this has naturally created an endless amount of gossip online as well as offline. On September 18, 2007, Steve Jobs did however announce that on November 9, 2007, we will be able to buy iPhone in the UK from Apple Retail stores, O2 stores, and The Carphone Warehouse. You can also buy iPhone in the UK by ordering it online from the Apple Online Store, O2 or Carphone Warehouse.
The Carphone Warehouse is Europe's largest independent mobile phone retailer and Carphone Warehouse stores are found all over the UK so finding a place to buy iPhone in the UK will not be difficult. If you want to buy iPhone UK from an O2 store instead, there is also plenty to choose among. London alone has 22 different O2 stores and you can find no less than four stores on Oxford Street alone; on Oxford Street 7, 134, 351 and 368.
If you want to buy an iPhone in the UK directly from an Apple Store, you have 11 different stores to choose among. There are two stores in London; the first one is located in 235 Regent Street and the second one can be found in the Brent Cross Shopping Centre. The city of Manchester also features two Apple Retail Stores where you can buy UK iPhone; one in the New Cannon Street Mall in Arndale Centre and one 146 Peel Avenue in Trafford Centre. The other Apple Retail Stores are located as follows:
Birmingham: Bullring Shopping Centre
Glasgow: 147 Buchanan Street
Kent: Bluewater Shopping Centre
Kingston: The Bentall Centre
Sheffield: Meadowhall Shopping Centre
Solihull: Touchwood Centre
Southampton: WestQuay Shopping Centre
Before you decide where you buy your iPhone UK, it is a good idea to call the store and ask them if they will have the iPhone available on November 9 or if they expect to get it later. This is true regardless of whether you wish to make your purchase from Apple Store, O2 or The Carphone Warehouse.
Anyone who wants to buy iPhone UK will have to pay an upfront fee of £269.00 for the phone itself and also sign an 18-month long contract with O2. The cost of the O2 plan varies from £35 to £55 depending on how many minutes and SMS you want. The £35 plan comes with 200 minutes and 200 SMS, the £45 plan offers 600 minutes and 500 SMS, and the £55 plan gives you 1200 minute and 500 SMS.
