That said – I'm in the same situation as the original poster, I went through to 02 retentions a couple days ago & they said what phones are you looking at & I mentioned the desire & the iphone, they wouldn't offer me a better deal on the iphone than on the website if I was a new customer & didn't say anything about the desire coming to o2.
Now if they were switched on you'd think they'd say just hold on sec we've got the desire at the end of the month just display some patience…
