Howdee, I was reading on the O2 site that they will be limiting handsets to 2 per customer in-store and online, but also they will not accept cash as payment - credit or debit cards only ???

I can see why they might limit handsets for a while, but no cash ? WTF is up with that ? Glad I bought my 2 iPhones in the USA with CASH.

I'm guessing because they may not be equipped to handle that much of a cash influx. They would have to carry all of that cash to the bank after hours and I'm sure thieves are aware of this too.

I'm just guessing, I really don't know but it sounds plausible.

Hmm. I'd have thought it was something to do with needing to show that you've got the readies for an 18 month contract of at least £35/month, but as far as I know all the activation happens through iTunes once you're home.
