iPhone Paranoia

So I just rang O2 again to confirm I can upgrade in stores on Friday. I got an exceedingly helpful person - who really put my mind at rest. As it happened he used to live and work near the area I was discussing so knew all the four outlets I'll be able to go to.

The person said it was going to be available in Apple stores but expressed genuine unknowing about upgrade paths etc. in Apple stores.

Current O2 iPhone customers will be able to upgrade in CPW and O2 stores on Friday. The person couldn't comment on stock levels etc - didn't expect they could if they wanted to since I imagine it is on a different system.

The person iterated again that I should watch the O2 website tomorrow for more information.

Cheers O2 - Good luck.

And update from yesterday when I rang a local Apple store and they claimed they didn't know if it would even be available in their stores because they'd need to sign up customers to O2 and they don't know how to do that. Now obviously they could all have had secret training on this. I do know when I walked past on Sunday night, after closing, there was a lot of late night activity in the Apple store - could have just been cleaning, could have been making room for an O2 terminal ?
