Carphone Warehouse blames Apple not O2 for iPhone 3G problems

Continuing on with the fun today of trying to find out how to best get our hands on an Apple iPhone 3G on July 11 and also how you can best get one, we had some interesting information from a Kent based Carphone Warehouse store.

The customer services manager at a local Kent Carphone Warehouse told me directly that it’s not their fault or even O2’s fault why they know very little about the iPhone 3G.

When asked if they will be letting existing iPhone owner’s upgrade on July 11, the member of staff said they do not know if that would be possible and did not even know their opening times until yesterday.

He went on to blame Apple for the lack of information; he said it was them who are not passing on enough information and leaving things to last minute.

While its not good them blaming Apple, can this really be true and is it Apple’s fault why systems are not in place to get upgraded to iPhone 3G in store on July 11?

I find it hard to believe all the blame is with Apple, tell us what you think and how you plan on upgrading to iPhone 3G if you own an iPhone already.
