Ok, its not going to be a good week!!!

I got a text at 8:08 am when i was in the shower telling me to go and order my upgrade. This yeah, this is going to be an excellent week!!!

At 8:18am after grabbing a bowl of cereal i sit down with laptop to upgrade, everything looks like it is working great, o2 site a tiny bit slow, but i recon they just have a load of people on the site.

now, i click upgrade and wait a min or two and eventually a form pops up (their failover form i might add).

this does not work at all, i keep getting a message saying theres a problem, try again.

eventually after half an hour of trying, i give up to go to work, where i start trying to access the site...again.

so i call up o2 and they tell me that they have no idea what is going on, cant take orders over the phone and have no idea of stock levels, yet they are pretty sure i will still get one.

look at the o2 iphone upgrade minisite... to find it now closed.

ARGH FFS what a joke.

Now it is back up, but in the same state it was this morning, and i have no iphone on order and spent ages trying to make it work.

did nayone here get their upgrade in, or are you all in teh same boat?

I thought it was going to be something important, like he made his cereal soggy.

Must be nice though to be able to get so excited about a phone upgrade.

Or that he just found out the council is removing his favourite dogging site.

That is awful, how will you explain this to your friends? Will they disown you when they see you using an inferior model of iPhone?

Well in the words of D:Ream, things can only get better.

Unless you accidently put a hole in your sock or fall over while putting your trousers on of course.

I'm loving the blow by blow account of how it happened, cutting edge journalism.

I'm a bit bunged at the moment (unusual for me) and had a poo that was like a clump of marbles. Which made my arse bleed. All the way through this I was contemplating how I could possibly meet today's deadline for a piece of work I can't do because I don't have the info needed, which was emailed to me on Friday afternoon.

But I realise this pales in insignificance behind the OP's phone update 'nightmare'.

People we appear to have a thread that is turning on the OP.
