White iPhone - Upgrade - When?

[kinster]

CityLink just turned up with a parcel for me from CPW. It's my White iPhone upgrade

There's no SIM extraction tool in the box and no dock (unlike 1st gen) but the important bits are there. So I bent a paperclip to open the SIM tray, swapped in my original iPhone SIM and connected to iTunes. All went swimmingly

Very happy bunny (and, frankly, amazed that CPW kept their promises)... still no news from O2 on their white iPhone stocks (although this forum suggests stock is trickling through).

Just to re-iterate though... the CPW website does not have an upgrade option. Upgrade options for white appear to be:

• Try local store (CPW or O2)
• Phone CPW using the number on the website.
• Lie to Apple (and hope they buy it... not recommended)

I don't remember a sim extraction tool for the original iPhone?

I didn't say there was - I said that there is no SIM extraction tool in the box (actually there is - it turns out I was looking in the wrong place and there is one inside the user manual... but a bent paperclip will work just as well) and that there is no dock (unlike 1st gen)... blame the English grammar teacher who told me never to put a comma before and ;-)
