3G UK iPhone: Free Upgrade available in-store?

[netdog]

Hi,

If I am on the £45/month plan, can I get my free 8GB iPhone or £59 16GB iPhone at any O2 store on July 11th or must I order it online?

What about for those on the £35/month plan. Will the £99 and £159 phones be availlable to them in O2 stores?

Fantastic. I was finding mixed messages on the O2 site. Good to know that I can actually go down to the shop and have a a look at the phone (and the colors) before adding 10 months to my contract.
