Iphone sold out in Blighty

Amid much consumer frustration

THOUGH THE INQ had no problems ordering its 3G Iphone this morning at 8am from O2, it seems many readers suffered. A barrage of emails and comments from readers suggested that, in particular, the upgrade process for existing O2 users was filled with problems. Upgrading or not, at various points during the day the site went completely down. Even during customer transactions, according to reader reports. One reader wrote in with the following: "Just 2 hours after release, or...at normal getting up time for bums known as students the o2 site is down and the telephone number they provide plays a lovely message of 'you can only buy the Iphone online' and then hangs up." Users wishing to get the device online are now completely out of luck....
