    I'd love to know. If I can I'll be there as the London one was a good laugh.



    Also, the BBC has a webcam which nicely shows the new store on the far left of the picture.

    hi, I got a problem.

    You know that with NUS card, we can get student discount @ Regent street Apple Store in London.

    Will there be same discount rate in the Birmingham store?



    If there is, let's go go go!!!

    Damn



    Just found out I'm on a training course on the 11th in a different part of the country!!



    Doesn't sound like too many people will turn up anyhow?



    Apple needs to promote the store a bit more.. doubt it will ever be mentioned in a stevenote, like the london store was. Oh well..

    Can you tell me the location and contact details of the reseller? I can not find it on the internet.



    I want to confirm that the discount rate they offer is just the studnet discount.



    Thanks a lot.

    With rumours of "end of April", could the Bullring store open 6pm 29th April? You would think they want in on the Tiger goodness, so it'd have to happen before next week.

    On trawling the Bullring website, I noticed the store directory entry for the Apple Store now states 'coming soon' instead of 'TBA' ... Gripping stuff!!

    I think you'll find it's To Be Announced.



    I hope a date is known a few weeks in advance so I can book the appropriate time off work...
