4 days too late for who? They already have 3g on, and they are selling micro-sims, you just need to wait a couple of days to get their 3g plans. Anyway, not like anyone has an iPhone 4 yet, not thanks to Vodafone.

Not really - I am planning on signing up for an iPhone today or tomorrow ... The wastage may be that I will never use the plan and intend to break it within the first hour.

The majority of iPhone users bought their phones after the release date AND there is bugger all iPhone 4's out there. Its not like there is a a lot of them to sell today. If 2degrees come out with an amazing offering on Tuesday I guarantee a LOT of people will switch, no matter what the exit fee is. I can guarantee that a LOT of people are planning to sign up today and cancel for XT.

Why don't you just buy directly from the Apple website then?

+1

its usually the cheapest and easiest way to buy it as long as you are willing to wait a week.
