Clarification required, so you can go into an iphone shop, buy an iPhone for £169 on the understanding that you'll sign up to an 18 month contract, tell the salesman you'll do it at home, but when you get home you hack it and stick whatever sim you like in?
You need to buy the iPhone with a credit/debit card in store. it can be bought on its own with no tariff for £169. You dont have to sign up to the tariff if you dont want to. If you dont, you'll need to unlock it with unlocking software.
The £100 cashback is for people who bought the iPhone for £269 and signed up to one of the O2 tariffs for the iPhone. Its only available to them and no new customers unless you buy the £169 and signup to the tariff and dont unlock it.
@PiKe: That is correct.

Hmm cheers for the clarification Nymins.

At minimum it is cheaper than an 8G touch.
This offer makes the 8G itouch pointless to have.
Indeed it is. The contract signup is done fully via iTunes, so they cant do it instore. Basic role play of more than likely what they will say:
Me: Hello, I would like an 8Gb iPhone please.
O2: Ok, that'll be £169.
Me: *Hands over credit/debit card*
O2: You will need to sign up to the tariff via iTunes at home, sorry we cant do it here. (they actually do apologize for not being able to do it instore!
)Me: Thats fine!
O2: Here you go sir.
Me: Thanks! LAWLZ SUCKERZ!!11 (< --edit out that part
)@Cavallino: She said it really cause they assume you will take up the contract and be entitled to the cashback. But its not exactly the case for a lot of users.
Can anyone confirm, the features which we wont be able to use with a jailbroken iPhone e.g. visual voicemail etc?
Also, is it easy to setup the facilities such as GPRS/WAP settings/Voicemail settings etc on a jailbroken iPhone?
And also, is it syncable to Outlook?

Yea Im a bit dubious about that.
Called O2, reserved an iPhone for myself. 169 quid. Sorted
The only thing is, edge
There is a 3G iPhone apparantly coming this summer, which is probably why they are selling these at £169. Btw to everyone, the £169 price is only available to 1st June, so they must be trying to get rid of them.
