exxcellent...I'd love to hear what the legality of this arrangement is, especially if they tried to enforce no cooling off, and employing hard selling tactics to make you sign on the dotted line...

Really? I didn't, and no one else at the store I visited did either. They just required names, phone numbers and which iPhone you were after. |

Agreed, regardless of what people say, it's really in optus' best interest to fulfil their part of the contract, otherwise no deal and customers go elsewhere. |

Given that most people have a home number and a mobile with voicemail it should be quite easy to get through quite a few in one hour once they receive stock. The bit that takes time is taking the orders surely and filling out the paperwork. |

food for thought. . .
apple took 7 months to sell 1 million first generation iPhones.
they just sold 1 million 3g iPhones in 2 days. Think that might explain some of the supply issues
