I called one and they said they would, but another said the opposite.

What do you think? I haven't actually committed any money to them yet and just giving my phone number for a callback "hen they're in stock" sounds a bit dubious anyway, so if a store has stock on Friday I would be happy to nip in and pick one up!
I've had the same, one Nokia shop says I need to start a new contract and another said I could just walk in and upgrade same day on my current contract which has just expired.
Vodafone UK said it depends on each shops rules as they could all differ.
This particular Nokia shop also said they only had 5 names on the reserve list so there would be enough stock for walk ins, really? Thats surprising! After all I have read on this forum I do not believe anything anyone says until I see it in the hand of Mr shopkeeper...and that doesn't look like any time soon as the excuses are still the same as last month.stock next week....next week.......
