Such is the way of things.
A pain, but the alternative is forcing you to physically goto the store to buy.

Why did they call it the "Joggler"? It sounds like a sex toy!

Ooooh, now I am interested:-

What is this Hack the Joggler stuff?

The O2 Joggler is a very nice bit of hardware. It has a beautiful hi-res touchscreen, 512mb of RAM, a dual core intel atom processor and 1gb of built memory. Not to mention WiFi, ethernet and USB connectivity.

Taking the form of a digital photoframe, this device offers so much more. I have mine on top of my fridge serving all my mp3s to my kitchen hi-fi, I can look up recipes, listen to internet radio, watch videos / youtube all in my kitchen whilst I'm cooking and or cleaning. Actually I can't do any of that because O2 has CRIPPLED this device with awful software and they assume that all you want to do is use the calendar function. They haven't even included a web browser.

Dual core atom & 1gb for £50? Seems a bargain to me!

Sure does if you can do something decent with it

Just saw on a thread which probably explains why this is cheap .... is O2 getting the Ipad? Suddenly it all makes sense!

It's cheap for a far simpler reason than that but it's not something that I can discuss.

New one coming out? If you are under an NDA or something, a simple question is should I get one for £50 or wait?

I am under NDA. I bought one for £50 and one for my sister as well.

Tried a couple of O2 stores who were both out of stock, so ordered from O2 online. As I said earlier, even as a digital photoframe they're well priced, so if you can get it to do more than that it's a bonus (I wanted a digi fotoframe anyway).
