This isn't at all new, but I've never really browsed around the O2
website before, so I've only just found it.

I was trying to figure out whether when the 3G iPhone comes out in
June (at least, June in the USA) whether you'll be able to upgrade
without renewing your O2 contract.

It *appears* that the answer is yes.

I base this on the following O2 page, which is about upgrading from
the 8GB to the 16GB iPhone:
http://www.o2.co.uk/iphone/o2tariffsforiphone/existingcustomers/activatingyournew16gbiphone

Basically it says that all you do is buy the new iPhone and slap in
your old SIM, and that's it. Done.

Also interesting is this page:
http://www.o2.co.uk/iphone/o2tariffsforiphone/existingcustomers
Which contains the following paragraph:
* Don't forget your existing 8GB iPhone can be given to someone else
you know --- all they need to do is either go to an O2 Retail store
and ask for a new PostPay O2 SIM card (free of charge), or simply use
the SIM card that comes with the 16GB iPhone. They then place the new
SIM card into the 8GB iPhone and activate through iTunes just as you
did. They will need to sign-up to a new 18-month contract.

So you can even sell your old iPhone to help fund a new one. SIMs are
pretty generic so the SIM that comes with a 3G iPhone will probably
work just fine in a 2G iPhone.

Yes. although don't expect much selling a second hand locked 8GB iPhone!

They're so easy to jailbreak (if I can do it, anybody can), why would
you not unlock it before selling it.
