I've just called four O2 stores around Birmingham. Two in the Bullring shopping centre, one in the Fort, one on New Street.
They're all very short on detail.
None of them could confirm to me an opening time - one said she though it was their usual shopping centre opening time of 9.30 AM, but admitted she didn't really know. Another thought it was 7.02, but after speaking with his manager came back and said they didn't have a confirmed time yet.
None of them were able to confirm if they could do the credit checks in advance. However they did all say that if you are signing up as a new customer with O2, you'll need to bring a bank card (Debit card), and the sort code and account number of the bank account from which you will be making the monthly payments (you must pay by Direct Debit, as noted in the small print here). They advised bringing ID was not necessary - but personally, if I'm going to have to spend time waiting in a queue i'll be bringing every form of ID they could ever need!
No information was offered up as to how much stock they will be able to offer, one did mention something about them hoping to be able to offer quite a bit of each model - but that was all they could tell me.
So, keep waiting - I'll try again on Monday!
