New iPhone launch today

[Gareth]

if I pay the £159 'upgrade' I take it I have to hand my existing 16GB iPhone back to O2?

 

[Tom]

No.

Nope.

 

[Moby]

That's a proper good deal!

 

[Tom]

Seems o2 are messing upgrades about though.

Quite the opposite.

They're basically saying, you signed an 18 month contract in November, but because a new one is out, providing you say you'll stay another 18 months from this Friday, they'll let you upgrade!

So your original contract, even though you said you would have that for 18 months, has lasted 7/8 months and you're allowed to leave that one.

Awesome really.

It wont happen next time, because the phone is now properly subsidised.
But its a great deal as you say.

Roll on the 11th! White for me!

Awesome really.

I meant with people upgrading today, not the deal which I think is fantastic for upgraders.

I agree seems more than fair!

I had one. For 4 months. It made me not want to phone anyone ever again.
Biggest pile of crap ever.. seriously..

Seriously FTL.

 

[meady100]

Just rung up O2 and the white one isn't available for a few weeks at least apparently. That's complete shite! :-(

[dr_sybourg]

[Daz]

"Sorry but we cannot upgrade you online at this time"

 

[DaveLiquid182]

As long as 16gb black is available in the swindon shop on friday i dont care

 

[Daz]

I think O2 need to invest in their IT a bit more. Heh.

 

[Adam]

I just went for the 8gb in black

 

[sargey]

Dazhost.com?

 

[Adams_16v]

Any ideas on how long it might be till they are unlocked, or will the current unlocking process work?

Fancy one, as my missus is due an O2 upgrade but isnt fussed about a decent phone, so could get an iphone for me to use on voda maybe!

Just get on O2

 

[Revels]

I want one but im not signing an 02 contract, so will have to wait..

 

[Gareth]

tried to order but the site won't work, its a joke. I'm not sure if I can be arsed trying a store on Friday, will see.

 

[Adams_16v]

Been with O2 for about 5 year, but moved onto Voda which has a much better signal for me.

 

[182-racing-blue]

You can still order white ones online, they will be sent to you when they are available. Spoke to o2 this morning.

If you want a black one and are having trouble with the online ordering link then go to the shop on Friday, they will have loads in stock.

 

[Gareth]

yeah I want Black, don't fancy White.

 

[Daz]

Wish I could upgrade. The whole upgrades web site is knackered.. has been for hours now.

Rung O2, and they said just keep trying..

 

[Gareth]

ditto.

 

[Daz]

ditto.

It's annoying, cus' mate at work just ordered a new one (not an upgrade) and it went straight through - no probs, has order confirmation and everything.

Sucks.

 

[Gareth]

"There has been a problem with taking your order. We apologise for the inconvenience. Please try again."

FFS

 

[Daz]

Yea.. fook knows if I'm going to end up with about 10 at this rate!

What a feckin mess this online upgrade system is. 6 hours later and I'm no closer to securing my order.

 

[Gareth]

lol, yep had that one as well.

 

[dr_sybourg]

Still tryin too, wot a joke! Dont get that screen now though where you have to enter your mobile no for a upgrade code!

 

[Schweppy]

I just went into store and they said the server was down due to massive amount of preorders and that they prob wont put it back online again for a while.

They said shops will open at 8.02 so im just gonna go for 7.

 

[Daz]

Game Over.
