Re. Three's pricing:
24 month contract only. Pushes the total cost of ownership up quite a bit...
I think the best deal is probably still with Tesco, despite the discrepancy in data limit (the main tariff table says 1GB, yet the Terms underneath say 500MB). Higher up front cost, but only £20pcm for 12 months.

I got my iPhone 4 today
Queued up at the Apple Store in Cambridge's "Grand Arcade" this morning.
I had one Reserved, so was guaranteed of getting one so long as I turned up today.
Two queues... One for Reservations, one for Hopeful Walk-Ins.
Both were huge.
The store opened at 8am. I got there at about 7:45, & didn't get served until nearly 10, IIRC.
The store had paid Starbucks to provide everyone with drinks & snacks while we queued, plus there were Apple Store staff on hand talking to people & answering questions.
Took a couple of hours for my SIM to be provisioned/registered (O2's systems have obviously been very busy today... I know someone else who was still waiting a couple of hours ago).
Very happy with the phone so far. Not noticed any issues. Can't see any yellow discolouration or yellow blobs on the screen. Haven't noticed any reception issues when holding the phone in my left hand (the hand I always use, being a lefty).
Don't know whether the reception thing varies between phones. I think it must at least be down to quite how it is held...e.g. I don't have my hand wrapped around the entire thing covering both sides *and* the bottom. I would have thought though that it's not something which could be corrected in later batches though, given the placement of the antennae... what could Apple do?
Regardless, I got a Bumper anyway which I fitted later on after testing the phone. I actually prefer the look of it with the Bumper. Unlikely to bother with a screen protector, but I'd like to get some sort of pouch or slip case when the 3rd party manufacturers start releasing stuff.
