UK carrier O2 has published an updated note on iPhone 3G availability in the UK.

"Thank you for your interest in iPhone 3G. We are experiencing unprecedented demand for the device and while we are confident that all customers who want iPhone 3G will get one by the end of this summer, initial supply is limited and will be for some weeks," the website warns.

The company says it is out of stock of the phone through its online stores and customer services but that it does have limited availability in O2 retail stores as at opening time Friday 25 July.

"We are working closely with Apple to get additional iPhone 3Gs. These will be coming in on a weekly basis. We'll keep you posted on specific details by updating this web page daily," the company promises.

"The amount of 8GB stock these stores have is still very limited and will therefore sell out quickly," O2 adds, but promises availability should improve from this day forward.

"iPhone 3G stock is arriving in the UK weekly and as soon as it arrives it is being despatched straight out to retail stores where it is being sold on a first come, first served basis," an O2 representative said last night.

02 are taking their existing customers, like me, for granted. This is a BIG mistake. I cannot wait to change carriers, and look forward to Vodaphone's iphone offer when o2's contract comes up for renegotioation.
