Poor selection of phones on O2

No because o2 don't do that phone. Not sure why hotkee seems to think you'll get it.

If you want it you'll have to settle for upgrading through phones 4 U and the rest of the ilk.

Yeh.. i know.. the only way to get an Arena on O2 is via Carphone warehouse or an online merchant. I could always get the most expensive phone they'll give me, flog it, then buy an unlocked Arena. I'm lazy so i can't be bothered, plus i liked the Tocco Ultra

So.. my contract hits 17 months next Friday. I'm pretty certain i want the Samsung Ultra Touch and will be happy with that phone.. but.. Will O2 online/over the phone-direct, let me have an LG Arena, even though its not on the O2-direct website?

They won't do this even though it wouldn't seem that much of a stretch. I had a similar issue with O2 a few years back- I wanted a black KAZR phone which was available at the Carphone Warehouse but they only stocked the blue and silver models as they were their corporate colours (madness). O2's strategy is clearly to have a small range of phones for the maximum discount with suppliers thanks to buying in huge numbers.

Looks like you can also pick from the Business phone selection when you come to upgrade with O2 - http://businessshop.o2.co.uk/phones_index.aspx?y=1&groupid=1
