If you don't know what PUFL is then it probably isn't worth you
reading further.
A few people on other forums have reported success in upgrading their
PUFL phones in-store, many for free phones. Allegedly there is no
change to the 'contract'.
I haven't been brave enough to try it with mine yet.

you're talking about:

some have managed it.

It depends on the store.
I've upgraded twice in 11 months. I got a K800i last time and a very
thin Samsung this year. My daughter has just got a Samsung with a 3M
camera.
In other o2 stores, I've been told that no upgrade is allowed on PUFFL.

Yea, but human nature being what it is, if you start a post with a comment
like that, the first thing someone who doesn't know what PUFL stands for is
going to do, is to go and look it up... (well, I did anyway)

Same experience here! It depends on the store. I have a PUFL (50
anytime minutes), one O2 shop said upgrades weren't allowed when I
asked about the XDA Mini S when it came out. Another said I could
upgrade but would have to pay £80 for the XDA. I wanted the device so
I paid them for it. I haven't bothered to try since, as I don't need
an upgrade.
