o2 iPhone customers: Upgrade to 8GB iPhone free*

I’m pleased to see that o2 has sensibly cleared the way for an easy upgrade path for it’s existing iPhone customers — according to the details on their site (that I, rather unhelpfully, can’t link to directly):

To thank you for being an iPhone fan, we’re offering you an early upgrade to the brand new version when it launches on 11th July 2008. You won’t have to wait until the end of your existing contract either, all you’ll need to do is agree to a new 18-month minimum term contract.

*Best of all, the new 8GB iPhone won’t cost you a penny on our £45 and £75 tariffs. And it’s just £99 on our £35 tariff and new £30 tariff. This special early upgrade offer is only available online at o2.co.uk anytime from 11th July until 11th October 2008.

Then just register your interest opposite and we’ll drop you a line in early July to tell you what you need to do to be one of the first to get your hands on the new 3G iPhone.

With O2 but don’t have an iPhone?
