o2's still officially the only UK supplier of iPhones, eh?

I had an email from a reader who tells me that he’s been into a few o2 stores in the London area recently and is still seeing the ‘old signs telling punters that the operator is the only official retailer of Apple iPhones.’

Carphone and Phones4U swapped their branding around just before launch day so that they’re displaying both the Orange and o2 logos. Unfortunately every o2 store that I’ve tried to visit to verify this has been either closed or being remodelled. Have you been in an o2 shop recently and witnessed this? Or is this an isolated experience?
