I'd like to go, but I just know it's gonna be a looooong line stretching down and around the corner of Regents Street... probably in the cold... and the rain... and there'll be some smarty pants who was at the front of the queue at 4am who'll walk right along the queue, wielding his new shiny N97, shouting "Haha! I have one and you don't!" or lie and shout "Don't bother, they're sold out!".

I pre-ordered mine direct from Nokia. They told me they'd ship it out ready for me to receive it the day it launches in the shops, so I'm not worried 😊

I think you're highly mistaken if you think there's going to be a queue for this phone. I turned up at 9am for the launch of the 5800 and still managed to be in the first 100 to buy it. And the shop had opened an hour earlier

I'm not a Q person, too impatient. Internet ordering for delivery to the door is the way to go 😊

I can't see a queue being likely either. The Nokia store generally have a decent stock, and unlike the iphone's one model only approach there are so many Nokia models that the actual hype over one particular one isn't really that great.

I popped in to pick up an E75 literally minutes after the delivery to the store when it came out and I was in a massive queue of .. erm .. well just me really. Granted no-one really gets that excited about an enterprise device but you know what i mean ...

I'm still too impatient to wait thought so I too will be a sad geek heading to Regents Street next Friday 😉

i was surprised there was a queue for the 5800, i wandered in around 11 and just got one.
there was no queue for N96.
