		<description>@delboy You really should read the post again, it is as much about customer service as it is about &quot;getting a phone&#039;. @ming you really needed to resort to personal abuse did you? Is that because you have nothing constructive to add? Or is it just your answer to everything. 

The owner of the blog had an experience, she wrote about it. It does not imply than from reading one post on a persons blog that you know the details of their life and have a right to tell them to get one.</description>

		<description>ok ok whats up with ireland. a friend told me about this blog and i actually cant believe my eyes......all of this over a phone. i have an iphone (not the 3g because this one is just the same) and i dont see what the big deal is.

yes its a great toy but why is everyone getting so worked up over it, with silly digs at each other and so on. im always in the o2 store near bt (because im a pure technofobe) and i find the staff there very helpful even tho iv being in there a million and one times asking the same questions.

the whole &quot;lie&quot; thing that everyone is getting so worked up about again i dont get. iv realised that people get so worked up about this phone, so did you ever think the staff taught that saying they had none was better than feeling the verbal abuse that they would get by saying we have them but cant sell it. id much rather be told that &quot;lie&quot; than be told that.

and im sure the staff would love to sell you one, because im only guessing there on commission. i think everyone should just take a breather and just look at themselves. apple have done there job well, they have generated the hype they wanted and all of you have fallen into there hands</description>

		<description>This gets better.. so you work for the ODTR (who no longer exist)?

Re: the perceived economics lesson. So we can agree then that economics have nothing to do with the maltreatment, by o2, of their customers (new and existing)? Whether they know they&#039;ll have 4 phones on Tuesday, or none until Friday week, doesn&#039;t give them the right to lie about it, right?

If the answer is &quot;yes&quot; so far, then what did you mean by point 5 in comment 17, because I took that to be a defence of o2&#039;s actions given they were under strain from lack of supply.</description>

I mean when compared to o2 uk or even any of their sister companies they are not so good but in Irish contexts theyre gr8!
If I had been like MCAWILLIAMS!! I wouldnt be best pleased

But i need to know whats your next move going to be regarding the iphone??</description>

		<description>As I said, that been their flagship store has had more bad press then good, compared to the store up the top of grafton street which by all accounts have performed much better over the past 2 months with customers.

&quot;I know its unfortunate that a load of you feel hard done by but the truth of the matter is that there is a lot of satisfied customers compared to those dissatisfied ones.&quot;

Personally I dont agree with this statement at all, quite the opposite, everyone I have spoken to either in my job or personally, forgetting about the bloggers has not had a great experience, but one thing for sure is, yes people are very satisfied with the iPhone in general, not O2.

I agree people do not write up about the good times have as much, mainly because as Irish people we do generally get the raw end of the deal.

To be honest you are the first person that I, and I would think everybody else, has come across to speak so highly of O2, you positive you dont work for them??? hehe 

BTW its mc a williams just for further reference :-D</description>

		<description>Its nice to hear that macwilliams thanks for that clear up.
And Im not &#039;&#039;digging&#039;&#039; at bloggers I am merely voicing my opinions in the same manner which you all have voiced similar ones agaist the guys in that store I am just aiming them at the people on the page rather than at anyone in o2.
I know its unfortunate that a load of you feel hard done by but the truth of the matter is that there is a lot of satisfied customers compared to those dissatisfied ones.
When someone is angry they are more likely to voice those opinions than if they were happy.
Further more I do know quite a bit about economics &#039;cgarvey&#039; as I spent the better part of my time in college studying the subject</description>

		<description>&quot;That is why when I stumbled across this page I felt I would just voice my opinions and didn’t expect to be attacked. All I wanted was to make some contribution from the other end of the spectrum.&quot;

Funny you should say this after calling the bloggers a bunch of wailing infants who live with their parents; saying their comments were anti-O2 propaganda; and predicting that your comment will be moderated for offering a dissenting opinion. Sounds like you were asking for a fight.</description>

		<description>I have been with O2 since esat digifone launched some years before you may have had your first mobile, I have never ever had any reason to complain about O2 quite the opposite actually, recommending them to everybody, but this fiasco which is the best way to describe it is not just with bloggers, I think you will find it is with quite a majority of people. 

I was also writing my comment before you clarified your name, so yes I was angry seeing what I thought was an employee continuing what I felt had been resolved.

The 11 years on you does mean something, for starters you were calling the people who have commented and have posted their dissatisfaction &quot;wailing infants&quot;, I am very far from infancy and also do not wail half as much as I should do.

I have as I said received 2 calls from different people in O2 management they as I have said have apologised in no uncertain terms for MY treatment, and for that I am thrilled.

I am also really happy that you have had joy with the grafton street store, but I for one will never don their doors ever again, and to be honest I dont think they will care less.

I am not attacking you or your views that is what is great about blogs and comments, but I urge you to read the post I put up to understand why I find it so hard so find any good in relation to O2&#039;s retail stores.</description>

		<description>@Angry: 

Do you think blatant lying to customers is okay? 

I find your dig at bloggers offensively. Are you resorting to throw stones like that as some kind of defense? If so, this just demonstrates how weak your argument is.</description>

		<description>Angry Employee, from an o2 point of view, like you suggest, it would have been very simple to implement a waiting list (with deposit, if necessary). They chose not to at a corporate level, store level and reseller level.

That&#039;s not how you manage a supply/demand problem.</description>

		<description>I dont work in an o2 store, I also have quite a respectable  job but did not feel the need to wave that around.
I have had exactly the opposite experience to all of you on this blog.
This is why I am posting my opinions on here. Yes you do have years on me 11 to be precise but that does not mean a thing.
I purchased the iphone 1 week after it came out and yes granted I have had one or two problems they were dealt with quite swiftly by a person in the very shop being bashed.

That is why when I stumbled across this page I felt I would just voice my opinions and didn&#039;t expect to be attacked. All I wanted was to make some contribution from the other end of the spectrum.</description>

		<description>Angry employee, you obviously have not read my post, may I direct you to http://www.mcawilliams.com/darkroom/the-on-going-saga-of-o2.html

Like Stewart this does not boil down to the phones its the lousy attitude of the staff working in the stores.

Also I have seen the phones being served to customers even though after calling into the grafton street store on 8 occasions in 3 hours I was told there were absolutly no phones in stores.

I am still complaining since last week when I phoned the store above my call was answered with a swift placement on the counter, not even a hello or anything and I was left there for 8 minutes untill I decided to hang up, which is when I had it affirmed that the store does indeed take the phone off the hook, even when not busy as I heard everything that went on for that 8 minutes and very little was dealing with customers.

I dont give a damn what phones the staff have but I do believe phones are being kept for friends etc, thats my opinion live with it, its a free country.

Again like Stewart I dont give a damn, that is between O2 and apple

You have proven again as an employee of O2 the attitude of the staff, I reckon I probably have 10 years on you since I am 37, own my own house with my wife and have a very respectable professional job.

O2 have handled the iPhone launch so badly, I have spoken to people who work for apple and they agree with every problem I have had.

To be honest I really felt like not answering your comment since obviously going anonymous proves you really aint that important for me to lodge my complaint to but I have personally received a call from, I imagine your boss the head of the retail stores in Ireland, he actually understands exactly what my issues were, maybe you are commenting here because he may have had words with you?

Once again read the posts properly before you decide to insult your customers more.</description>

		<description>And while I do respect you opinion stewart as you have many excellent points you should try and see it from o2&#039;s point of view as its impossible to meet the demand placed as apple will not fulfill the orders. They wanted the buzz to be iphone sels out in 1 day so the supply is enough for 1 maybe 2 days of sales.</description>

		<description>well thanks for responding but there are a few you didn&#039;t answer

&#039;&#039;4. I don’t care what phones they have
5. Again, I don’t care. Not my problem.&#039;&#039;

You cant just say that and get away with it I mean a little explanation I know all the lads who work there so do you know what his name was.

If you look at this page it has relatively low hits and there are hundreds of satisfied iphone customers in Ireland I am one of them

If you hate it so much just switch network.</description>

		<description>Stewert, same thing happened in my house.  My boyfriend had his name down on waiting lists in two o2 stores.  We were popping into the shopping centre to check on the waiting list when I suggested he carphone warehouse, I just asked on the offchance and low and behold they had one left.  Which he bought and is now delighted with it.  Can&#039;t say enough good things about the carphone warehouse after the experience.</description>

		<description>1. I wasn&#039;t worked up over the phones, I was annoyed at the rude treatment I got in the o2 store
2. The were delivered in front of him. So he&#039;s either blind, incompetent or lying.
3. The complaint was about the staff, not the phones.
4. I don&#039;t care what phones they have
5. Again, I don&#039;t care. Not my problem.
6. Is slagging people part of your staff training?
7. If I get poor treatment I&#039;ve every right to voice my opinion.</description>

		<description>I know from previously working in O2 what a shower they are. Last week a mate of mine tried to change over from Vodafone to O2 as her brother has moved to Canada and O2 are the only ones who have  a partner over there. She was told 3 hrs, then 6 hrs then the system was down then 12 hrs and finally it happened 24 hrs later. 

Suffice to say they will say what ever it takes to get one off the other end of the line. 

Shame they got the iphone contract IMO</description>

		<description>hi there Guys just wanted to ask you all a few questions 
1.why are you so worked up over a few phones
2.why are you so irate over the fact that an employee said there were no iPhones on the day surely he must have just been informed wrongly.
3. If you nowhave the unit what&#039;s the problem stop complaining.
4. Why do you think that the staff are keeping  the iphones for themselves? If you go there you will find that only 1member of staff in the store has the new one.
5. Do any of you know how hard it actually is too get the iPhones into the store. O2 doesn&#039;t know how many they will get in that is dictated by apple and their suppliers.
6. Do a lot of the bloggers above currently reside with their parents because as far as I can tell you are a bunch of wailing infants.
7. Lastly stop bashing o2 they aren&#039;t too bad they aren&#039;t briiliant but having beenwith all the networks they are superior.

Lastly given the anti o2 propaganda present on this page I would not be surprised if my post gets rapidly deleted. I would love to continue this argument with anyone willing too. 

P.s: apologies for any mispsllings as I am typing this on the bus from my iPhone on my way home from work</description>
