I dont really get why Apple Stores cant upgrade... from what I've read its the same as last year, that it needs to be activated through Apple's servers. I can understand that new customers need to sign a contract at point of sale, to stop unlockers and that, but upgraders already have a contract, therefore are already tied to O2 in the first place! O2 should have allowed upgraders to get an iPhone anywhere and let iTunes deal with the rest, and then spent more time signing up new iPhoners to their contracts. Wasted resources IMO!
You have a contract with O2 which doesn't expire for some time yet. Apple has no authority to end that contract.

it's a shame there are no apple stores anywhere in wales...
Apple... Why is there not one in Cardiff, the capital of wales? London and Edingburgh have one.
waited in line friday for 2 hours, got a 8gig 3G.
Gave my old 16gig to my son, now swapping back for my old one or selling my 3G.
Dont need 3G, looks cheap, can be sluggish, what a waste of £99.
Stick with your old ones, dont be misslead by all the hype.
Waited in line friday for 2 hours, got a 8gb 3G.
Sold my old 8gb for £250... not regretting it one bit.
Love the phone and I'm 150 quid up!![]()
wasn't the original iphone £269.99?
at least you have one in scotland!
Come on 02 and CPW! move your bloody derriere and give us the frigging white 16G! NOW!!!
Well the o2 website does say they "customers who want iPhone 3G will get one by the end of this summer" so i would say you aint far off in your estimation.
I also get the same vibe about stock updates this week, when I tried ringing they just said they hadn't received a stock email yet so they could only assume the end of the week. The sad thing is if this is the case, they could get them in at anytime and so just pot luck if you're in at the shop at the right time.![]()

Sorry to say that Apple is penalizing the UK and totally screwing the dedicated people that got the 1st gen. We jumped in first and now we are screwed because we can not upgrade at the Apple stores (and they are keeping all the stock). I'm rather pissed off for the lack of loyalty to us morons that spread the word in the first place. Then again I'm an idiot for even caring about the stuff. Next time I'll get two frigging cans with a string.
