What a farce!!!

Yesterday was the first day that all us iPhone “want to owns” could pre-order from the O2 website, many of us had heard conflicting stories over whether or not we could upgrade, so just about everyone was going to have a go. In the end the 02 website just wasn’t up to the job, their work around was apparently to have some kind of fake order form people could fill out to kind of put them off. Now this pisses me off, firstly that they are trying to placate us with “fake forms” and secondly that this “fake form” asked for credit card information. Surely that is a clear incidence of phishing, asking for credit card details for services that you do not plan to give. Ok they haven’t (or at least I fucking well hope not) used any of these details for nefarious purposes, but still it’s wrong.
I was up until yesterday totally set on an iPhone and nothing was going to stop me, now I really don’t want to be with O2 and will look round at other options once I cancel my contract.
