That will come in handy as I have annual car tax to pay this month (£180, $360) and this year's first auto insurance installment (£100) due. The car's also going in for service on the 21st and I'm hoping there'll be nothing too costly wrong with it.

Am i Phoning?

I recieved a txt from O2 shortly after 8:0am telling me that --as a prior iPhone owner-- I could upgrade online. I tried their site at work first thing and couldn't even get the page to load. I recieved about 10 different upgrade codes, all unusable as the web site never progressed past that.

Then after a many more unsuccessful attempts over four hours, and many messages saying the server had fallen over and try back later, I got the 'Due to huge demand were are out of stock online. Come back on 10th July for more information' message.

What a load of rubbish! The early availability was supposed to be for iPhone customers only. Surely O2 know how many iPhone customers they have? Why not stock that amount with the optimistic view that the majority will upgrade?

O2 aren't telling the truth about their 3G iPhone stocks. It seems *new* O2 customers were able to purchase the stock that was available yesterday through the online system with no problems (until stock ran out), but prior iPhone owners were blocked. Luckily, I'm on leave on Friday and will (probably) be at the local O2 store's door at 8:00am when they open. Let's hope they have more than 3 or 4 in stock per store....
