Think it is a online deal only.
I'm beginning to doubt this now, because in the CPW book, it says 100KB

@leerichards - I had exactly the same conversation and email today.
In the end I told them I was going to an O2 store - so I did, they sorted everything out and I walked out with the handset.

Online customers get 1mb free
Offline customers e.g. O2 shop, CPW etc get 100kb free
Always been the way.

Well, just to throw in my experience... About 15months ago I was on Orange. When I phoned them to upgrade I tried the whole "I got a better deal with O2" line. They thanked me for my custom and told me my contract would be cancelled the following week. So much for customer retentions!
After being on O2 Online 200 for the past year I called O2 upgrades asked if they could price match etc, and eventually spoke to a lady in retentions.
She told me straight away that I could have the phone for free.
I said that a couple of online stores were running 6months free on a 12month contract for the same price plan.
She did some calculations and said they could offer me a £10 discount on my line rental!
200 xnet mins and 500 texts for £20/month, free k800i
Just to be cheeky I asked about data plans and/or a bluetooth handsfree but she wouldn't give... Never mind though as I managed to save £170 by haggling!
Edited to say:
Hehe free texts between 1900-2000 every night with O2 treats!
2nd Edit:
Called O2 today to ask about transfering to my 3g sim, to be told that I would have to change my contract... Long story short I'm now getting an extra 100mins and 250 text for the same price!
300mins, 750 text, hehe!

I ended up getting exactly the same deal from them for £20 with free phone. I was offered 500 minutes and 500 texts for £25 so once I get my phone I might ring and see if I can get it changed to that depending on how many minutes I use over the first week or so.

O2 Online Off-Peak 500, 18month contract. £25 per month! Upgrade phone cost £49. Cost over 18 month £500 basically!
750mins off peak a month, thats 12.5hours, and 750txt.
You can use free minutes to phone USA if you use free planet calling, so even at best with discount country options your looking at 12p a minute, so real savings over 18months is £1120!
Not always the cheapest contract is best!
Its how you use your phone.

I just got off the phone with o2 (for second time today, god they have a lot of inbreds manning their call centre phones)
Got them, in the end, to offer me:
K800i - £49.99
18 Month Online 200 (300 x-net mins, 750 txt) - £20 (should be £30)
+ Gold Insurance included for free
So am quite happy with that given that the first time I called retentions some moron who I could hardly understand was going on about only being able to get the phone down to £49 but having my contract go from £30 (400 x-net mins + 1000 txt from a previous upgrade barter) to £45. Dont mind the 18 month contract as I have been pretty pleased with the reception/service from o2 over the last 3 years.
I got annoyed and threatened to leave o2. She didnt seem bothered but guess her leaving that on my record indicated to the next person I was p****ed off.
Cant wait to get my hands on my k800i
having said that I am sure their will be some complications with the tariff change, oh well more agro to use as barter material in the future
EDIT: Just to add to this does anyone know what this means in the o2 order status section:
Sony Ericsson K800i 3G
Provisioning Failed
3G Postpay SIM
Provisioning Failed
I think I recall the provisioning failed rubbish coming up when I ordered my k750i from them but getting a little worried now. At least it appears they are sending out a new sim "3G Postpay SIM"

Provisioning failed sounds like they're out of stock...
A 3G postpay (contract) sim is included in the box even if you're staying on a 2.5G contract. If you want to use the 3G services you'll need to have your account changed to a 3G contract
See the edit I made to my post at the bottom of page13 - changing to a 3g tarrif involved them giving me extra text and minutes for the same price!

Thanks drhunter
Do you know if the number is ported with the new sim? Will ring them tomorrow anyways to see about the provisioning thing anyhow but thought you might know.
EDIT: Just read your edit on p.13 I see they changed you over to the same tariff details as I am on, so maybe they have just changed me on to 3G anyway as I was on a totally different tariff before this upgrade. Hope so.
