There's several different ads, they just pulled that variation of it, or they've changed the words and put it back out again.

Ahh right
I emailed o2 online today regarding something,
within 20mins I get a text message telling me they sent me a reply thats new I thought when did that come about
btw looking at the add, it frankley doesnt sell the phone to me,
thankfully 02 now offer demo handsets instore, which is a way to grab peoples attention I think
works a treat for Jewellery if they don't go for it,
I normally test the item out for them and they buy lol
im a very good sales lady so my punters tell me

I agvree. If I go to a phone store to check out a phone and they won't let me play wit it I just walk out. You might as well buy a car without test driving it.

Actually thats what i like about some select few O2 stores. Some have been revamped and have live phones to play with stuck to the walls its great. Though some every now and then seem to not work or the chargers are broke. Some CPW assistant once said to me NO YOU CANT PLAY WITH ANY OF OUR PHONES UNLESS YOUR GOING TO BUY IT. I walked out.

Bonovox to phone store sales person: "Seeing as I want to spend an insane amount of money on something much smaller than a .44 magnum, you gotta ask yourself a question, do you wanna sell me a phone? Well, do ya punk?"

If anyone goes into a phone shop and asks to 'play' with a phone, I would expect most salespeople to tell them to get on their bike...
If you are genuinely interested, rather than curious about it with no interest in purchasing it, then fair enough, if not then you're just being a time waster, something we really can do without when we've got other things to do. You have to remember, if you 'play' with it, it's instantly become non-pristine, and we have to try and convince a member of the public to buy that phone unsealed and partially used.
It's not a toy, it's something someone else has to buy.

It is a toy and it's an expensive toy, and if I'm going to buy one I expect to have the right to test drive it. If you can't spare one of each phone model to be used as a store demo, to be sold at a 10-15% discount when all the non-demo models have been sold, then you aren't running your business very efficiently. It's just a form of advertising. You spend money on advertising but don't expect that every person who sees the ad will buy a phone - you just put it out there and see what you catch. Having demo models available is just like that. For ever 10 people who look at the phone one will buy it who would otherwise have walked away unsure.
IMHO it's a small thing to ask and ought to be factored into your business costs.
3 in australia have working models of most of their range on permanent display in all their stores.

We have a range of demo phones that we keep upstairs for the most popular models, but not all.
How would you like it, if you bought a phone with the seal broken and I told you that your brand new SE X1 or whatever that you've been waiting almost a year for, got yourself all excited about and you want it to be pristine new, had been played with by some really gross disgusting guy with hands covered in grease and filth who looked like he'd make a hobo look presentable to the Queen? Would you say "eeew, take it back, get me another one?" or would you make do when I tell you it's the last one we have?
