O2 Now Taking Orders.

I still cannot access the web upgrade option - but I have managed to get through to the o2 call centre and have been assured that I can visit a store on Friday and upgrade that way. When I asked about stock levels the operator said that he did not know, and would not wish to speculate, so he seems genuine enough!
it seems stupid for o2 to not allow existing iPhone customers to upgrade in store as all you are going to have to do is activate though iTunes, like the original iPhone release. It shouldn't really require any additional work instore for staff as surly all they are gonig to have to do is make the transaction and then you do all the choosing at home?!?!!?
come on o2 sort your life out!!

Yep if it crashes just request another code, I think.
They should have put it that if it crashes you can just reuse the code, but as they haven't, you have to keep requesting new ones to get past that screen. I've had
I'm not sure the basic form is anything worth bothering with, but with three or four of my codes I've got to a fancy basket screen, but I've never managed to get past it without it crashing.
I'm guessing it's to keep the in-store stock just for new customers - which I can understand, but find very frustrating for me as I've just wasted my whole morning trying to order!
hmm what is this page actually doing.... it seems to be working but i really want to know if i can just go in store and get it as this would guarantee that i would have the new 3g version in the morning and not just waiting for some guy to turn up on my door step at some point in the afternoon!!?!?!
gahhh wat to do!
Not working for me either, have attempted multiple times, just get the error screen if anything at all. Going into town to the o2 store to see if they know anything; they probably don't!
Shambolic!

I guess that failover page was supposed to kick in if the servers were starting to get overloaded. All it did was to take your details down manually rather than through a fancy front-end. Then someone would sit down later and input the orders on to their system.
If it worked obviously!
As to upgrading in-store, I think someone who works in an O2 shop has posted that their information received today states you can't do this.

Chill guys
It's only a phone. A popular phone yes, but you can't really slag off the O2 for creating a website that falls over when demand is high. The same thing happens on every website.
Even if they got their predictions for demand wrong, you really don't NEED the phone on Friday. Last iDay, I had to wait till the Tuesday afterwards to get mine, even though it was purchased instore on iday (it was a gift). You'll be able to order on line (or walk into the shop if you are not upgrading), hassle free once all the fuss has died down.

Just to put it in perspective, my dad was leaving to go to Paris when I recieved the text message about the iPhone......he is now there!
O2 owe us big time!

I:
Best option - get first tube in on Friday, queue and pray?

I:
- am an existing O2 pay monthly customer eligable for upgrade (past my minimum term)
- need to transfer my existing phone number (I don't need a PAC code, right?)
- want it on Friday
