The Telegraph's Shane Richmond decided to get his new iPhone in Lewisham:

I didn't know what to expect when I arrived at Lewisham shopping centre, in south east London, at 6.15 in the morning, but it certainly wasn’t to find the centre deserted, barred and locked. I started wondering how embarrassing it would be to be the only person in the queue.

See, here's where local knowledge is useful - that's exactly what I'd expect in the middle of Lewisham at 6.15am - well, that and some generic fried chicken boxes fluttering in the breeze. I am rather disappointed that a pre-order queue did indeed form shortly afterwards, though. For shame.

All you need to know about today's big UK technology news, courtesy of one sentence from the press release:

"Further details about pricing and rate plans will be announced at a later date."

You are welcome. Wonder how much space this gets in tomorrow's papers.

No money for an iPhone? No problem!

1) Get drunk
2) Turn camera to maximim ISO
3) Take photo in dark room

Et voila - pictures with the "slightly blurry, slightly grainy, slightly crap" look that just screams "overpriced, underspecified cellular telephone camera". Email a few around, and the world need never know your secret telecommunications-related shame.
