The new iPhone 5 has been launched, but that's only half the story - you want to know when and where you can get your iPaws all over the handset.
Well, the iPhone 5 launch date has been set for 21 September, and pre-ordering begins on the 14th of the same month.
We've spoken to all the networks to find out which will be stocking the new iPhone, and if it will feature any fancy new features we may not have seen:
Everything Everywhere, Orange and T-Mobile
"[Everything Everywhere] will launch an exclusive 4G LTE version of the new iPhone when the EE customer brand launches in the coming weeks, giving customers five times faster network speeds than on 3G.
"Our Orange and T-Mobile customers will also be able to get hold of the iPhone 5 with the biggest and best network and the fastest possible 3G network speeds."
Vodafone
Vodafone has been boringly coporate in its response, telling us that:
"We welcome the arrival of the iPhone 5 and Vodafone UK plans to offer the new device to our customers. Availability of the device will be announced in due course."
BORING.
O2
O2 was nice and eloquent on its feelings on the iPhone 5, with the CEO even getting involved:
"O2 will launch Apple's iPhone 5 in all its stores and online from 21 September 2012, with further announcements about pricing and pre-order details coming soon.
iPhone 5 will be available to everyone from 21 September 2012, whether they're already an O2 customer ready for an upgrade or looking to join O2. It will be available on O2's new On & On Pay Monthly tariffs as well as Pay & Go Go Go, O2's reinvention of Pay & Go.

"We're celebrating the fifth year of working with Apple in style," said Ronan Dunne, Chief Executive of O2 in the UK. "We're looking forward to bringing the new iPhone 5 to everyone very soon, whether they're already on O2 or not."
Three
Three took to Facebook to make its announcement - as you might expect it's got a lovely fresh tone:
"Heard the rumours about a brand new iPhone? They're only bloomin' true! We're excited to confirm that the new iPhone 5 will be available for pre-order on Three from Friday 14th September. Register here for updates http://bit.ly/QQw0it"
Virgin Mobile
The Branson-powered network doesn't always have the best track record at bringing its customers the new iPhone, so we'll wait with bated breath to see if it will buck that trend in 2012.

The nation's biggest phone retailers will almost certainly have a range of iPhone 5 plans, so stick around to hear what they might be.
