Buying the S2 in the UK

Ok, I waited until today to decide about my next phone because I wanted to see what the new iphone was going to be like.
The upgrade was meager and not enough to dissuade me from getting the GS2.
The deal breaker was also that it is not going to be available as a pay and go model when it goes on sale, and it could be quite a while before it becomes available that way.
I do not buy phones on contracts because I do not use it enough to justify that.
To me it is more of a little computer and entertainment device. I must have made a total of 12 texts in the past 5 years on my old phone, and my phone usage was equally limited. A
 
I buy my off-contract handsets from my local Carphone Warehouse store because I've got to know the staff, I like supporting local jobs, and I like checking expensive purchases out personally before parting with my cash. :) The only problem I've ever had was years ago with an SE K750i that needed a warranty repair and they dealt with it efficiently and promptly.

I hope that they can offer a sim-free model like Amazon does because I can't justify buying any phone on a contract.

CPW offers sim-free models.

Even their contract phones are sim-free phones sold with contracts alongside them. That's mainly why I get my contracts from them, because you get an unlocked phone without any kind of carrier branding. :)

That's exactly what I want.
I have a replacement sim card sitting at home that O2 sent me after I reported that my iphone was stolen that contains about
