Oh yeah, you get 10% discount if you put your student card on! I'm doing that!!
I don't have a problem with contracts per se. My total yearly spend on mobile calls is less than £100. If there were £5 a month contracts, then maybe I'd consider getting one.
if your an existing o2 customer, not eligible for upgrade, can you buy a Pay and Go and put your existing sim card into the phone? or is it locked to that one Pay and Go sim card??
I don't know how they'd do it, but I believe that they are under obligation to do so under UK law.
Virgin unlocked my PAYG phone in exchange for buying a £30 top up.
Number?
You can port your mob number from another network if go on PAYG.
To keep your existing number, just contact your current network provider for a PAC code. Then let us know your PAC code when you purchase your iPhone in-store, or contact us online when you have received your iPhone 3G. Your existing number will be transferred within two working days of us receiving the PAC code. We'll give you a temporary number whilst you wait for your number to transfer so you can continue to use your iPhone 3G.

You won't be able to "upgrade" to PAYG from a iPhone contract.
And even if you were able to unlock the new iPhone I don't know if O2 would know you were using a 2G contact SIM in a 3G version - I don't know if they differentiate between EDGE and 3G data access in any way. But you wouldn't want a nasty surprise for using your unlimited data on 3G without an official 3G contact.
Having said that I am sure that the devteam will come up with an unlock for the new phone eventually so you could unlock it and use any SIM you liked.

TMO Germany sold unlocked iphones --- for 1 week and for 999 euro. Then they won the lawsuit and stop selling them.
O2 is under no obligation to do anything. There isn't any UK laws on providing unlocking codes.
Student discounts don't apply to the ipods so it probably won't apply to the iphone either.
O2's damn website wasn't displaying that as it hadn't refreshed
