UK mobile operator O2 put the 3G iPhone up for pre-order this morning. And 2 hours later they were all gone. Of course, Brits have it a little easier since they can get the iPhone for free (on select plans).

Those that managed to order one in the UK will even get their shiny new 3G phone hand delivered on Friday by courier service. That sure beats standing in line all day like most AT&T customers will have to do on Friday.
