We received an email this morning from Groupola about the problems on friday.

Dear Customer,

Thank you very much for having tried hard to access our iPhone 4 flash deal on our website last Friday and we are sorry if you were not successful.

The limited quantity deal sold out amidst unprecedented traffic levels as literally millions of visitors from around the world tried to access the site at once. All handsets are now sold out and those who were lucky enough to secure the deal will be contacted in due course.

Despite having taken every step possible to ensure that the site would be able to run smoothly for this deal, the unexpected amount of people that attempted to access the website brought it to a standstill.

Please keep watching as we are looking to run similar fantastic and genuine deals in the near future and share this message with your friends and family.

Will this be enough to keep hold of the many thousands of people who signed up to the mailing list so they could get the link to buy the iPhone4 (only to find out that groupola.com posted the link on twitter and facebook anyway!). We are still waiting to hear from anyone who managed to get 1 of these £99 iPhone 4.
