Excellent news - I've requested the unlock, just have to wait 14 days for it to come through apparently. I've no intention of using the phone off O2 for the time being (still have six months contract) but I can't turn down a FREE official unlock, they might change their minds later...
I think this is probably a clever bit of marketing - if you can get a subsidised iPhone from O2 and unlock it at ANY time (which appears to be the case) then that's a pretty good reason to choose them over Orange, or wait for Voda. They've got you under contract anyway, so there was never really any good reason to lock contract phones in any case. Releasing the PAYG phones is a little more surprising, since once you've paid your £342 there's no guaranteed income after that.

I only have 2 months to run and have no intention of staying with O2.
I've already ordered a rolling month sim with tmob and Vodafone so I can see which works best for me for home, work and in between.
I signed up for the unlock last night but have had no confirmation of my application yet. Has anyone else?

yeah, I'm not worried as mine is unlocked by other means, but it would be nice to have the legal unlock!

The way you've unlocked it isn't illegal, unlocking a phone isn't illegal, yes, it's frowned upon but not illegal

well yeah, perhaps I should have said "unofficial" rather than "illegal"
thanks for correcting me yet again!

Chucked in a Voda sim... Took 2mins and it was unlocked...
The reception and 3G speed is much better then o2...
Need to think which network would be good... possibly try Voda out... on Sim Only deal...
Cheers
ENJOY
