I've tried this method twice now, today I was dead on 9am, still no luck, oh well I'll keep trying!

I tried it yesterday at the TC for white and black 32GB never got an email, so tried it again today and got an email saying that there's a white available for me tomorrow... going to just stick with the white one as i'm only hearing negative things about the black.

Was just checking this thing, and when i select a model to pick it comes up with an option for either contract or sim free.

Now im looking to upgrade from my existing contract on O2 so would they upgrade me in store on o2?

Went in to lots of shops over the weekend and down here no where has any or they are all reserved which is annoying.

Tried a couple of reservation requests and dropped into some shops so far no luck

Upgraded the woman's o2 contract in an Apple store with no problems. They have access to o2's systems so you'd be fine.

Have reserved 2 at the nearest Apple shop so hoping I get an email tonight, but I doubt it.

Have been ringing the local o2 shop also but no one picking the phone up :/

Do you get an email straight away or is it possible to get one later in the day as well? I've reserved two of each (black and white 32GB at both my local stores), nothing so far. The website doesn't work for me in any browser ("Error occurred while communicating with server"), only on my phone.

It says something along the lines of 'you should get an email by 9pm tonight if you were allocated a handset(s) with a pick up time of when to collect it tomorrow'

So if you don't get an email youre out of luck

You don't get an email straight away, but you do get one before 9pm. I got my email about 6 hours after I made the reservation.

I reserved a 32GB white on Saturday at about 2:30pm. Got an email around 7:30 saying it would be available to collect on Sunday between 11 and 4. This was from the Metrocentre.
