I saw a 6 month early upgrade on the O2 website. £61 on a 24 month contract.
You do the maths lol
Edit - £63.

The phone and sim are orange stock and the phone will also be locked to EE.
You would need to return the lot and start again.

So what did they say when you called 202?
I would hazard a guess they would be the best to answer the question.
I sent them my pac code through the three app yesterday evening but not had anything since, do you know when I might get an email or text? Is there a usual time?
I sat refreshing the upgrade screen on the 14th, eagerly waiting for the 5 to appear. When it did, I went through the preorder process.... only to realise at the end I'd clicked the wrong button and upgraded to a white 4s! Nice, I'd been a numpty and upgraded to the phone I already had. Rang O2 straight away and I was "too late" to cancel the upgrade! 5 minutes was too late lol.
Thankfully the phone arrived on the monday and I returned it within minutes. Return was processed on Thursday.
On 21st I rocked up at an O2 store in the sticks 15 minutes before opening... I was 6th in the queue! Got my white 64GB.
Loving it.

Just got my iPhone 5 today - black 32GB. It's absolutely beautiful!
The first thing that hit me was the thinness. The weight reduction is great, but my God, this thing in tiny!
Going to cut down my SIM later on - can't wait to use it!!

My black iPhone5 was damaged from Apple, call them up straight away.
The lady I spoke to, she arranged a priority replacement whilst I keep the dented handset and I can send it back a few days after, so that I'm always with a phone
You cannot beat Apple customer service

If you're planning on cutting up a Micro SIM to fit, I believe a Nano SIM is also thinner than a Micro SIM........
My black 16g was due today, TNT website said that it was not delivered due to time constraints, nit happy, so rang TNT at 2:30pm, lady on phone said it will be redelivered tomorrow, moaned and said is that garunteed as was now a day late, she wouldn't confirm and juts kept saying that it will be out again tomorrow for re-delivery, again expressed my annoyance and left it at that, went back to work. Then got home at 5:30 to see they had tried to deliver at 4:30pm?! Rang TNT again and guy said that first driver passed to another driver to attempt delivery, I said good effort but useless due to advice I was give just 2 hours prior, so now had to wait again to tomorrow. But frustrating I missed him by just an hour and if the first woman had said this was standard practice I would have waited in... Annoying especially as the first driver ran out of time at 1:10pm? Makes no sense, hope tomorow goes more smoothly!!
Its not that much thinner that it actually makes a difference, it will fit in the iPhone 5 fine.
Dont know if this is common knowledge or has been discussed but im gonna post it anyway,
For those who have had their new number ported across following submitting their PAC Codes,
All seemed fine, text my sister (who has a HTC) to check my original number was back, she said it was, however when i text my Wife (iPhone 4s) she said it was still showing the new 3 mobile number (which came with the sim) after a bit of head scratching i realised that in the iMessage settings it was still showing the 3 number in the Send & Receive section, however it was greyed out and wouldnt let me edit,
However i discovered that if i turned iMessages off then back on again, it changed to my original number (from my old network)
As i said, it might be common knowledge but oh well

It's common knowledge if you've been through it!
Worth noting that the same thing should apply to customers moving from/to any network.
Gave Three my PAC code on Fri by dialling 333. Never got it in before 5pm as DPD delivered it just after 5pm! It's an automated service press 1...press hash...and at the end it told me that my number would transfer on Tues 25th Septemeber! So hopefully it will all go well tomorrow! Haven't had any texts or emails since though :-/
Forgot to add the sweetener...A man from DPD has just been and handed me my new iPhone 5.
Ordered as upgrade (from iPhone 4) from Vodafone on Friday night, and arrived Monday afternoon. Not bad going.
White 64GB
So thin, and so light, oooh.
New tariff means not only unlimited voice and text with 2GB of data and wifi, but a 50% reduction in monthly cost, from 45 quid down to 30.
I'm afraid I don't.
Basically if you do anything other than giving them the PAC over the phone (call 333 from your Three phone to do that), it takes as long as it does for them to get through all of the requests that they have.
I submitted my PAC through the web site at about 16:35 last Friday and I got a text this morning at 9:00.
While the submission was before the deadline, they clearly had a lot of requests because of the iPhone 5.

Noted! Should come in handy tomorrow when mine changes over. Thanks.
Got my iPhone 5 16GB white from Brent Cross Store today. Reserved it at 12pm yesterday (Sunday), got an email later that day saying come and pick it up whenever. Walked straight in. Found someone. 5 mins later walked out with it, even with a free vodafone nano sim. Went home, punched in SIM to vodafone website, iCloud downloaded data. Total time from 4S to 5 was 2 hours. Amazing!
PS I'm on pay monthly SIM, so that made it all easier.

Whats everyone's experiences with the scuffgate issue? Particularly with the bare metal (white) vs anodized finish (Black) and the black being easier to scratch?
