iPhone 4s – the upgrade

Nice chap in the O2 store in Manchester on Saturday.
Basically explains the following:
1.         my next free upgrade is due end of January
2.         I can “fast track” my upgrade NOW if I pay £245.00
3.         I can buy a 64Gb 4S NOW on the same tariff for £145.00
4.         They will pay me £280.00 for my old phone
Net effect – I am £110.00 DOWN.
Or……
I wait until 1st February and
1.         They will pay me £280.00 for my old phone
2.         I can upgrade free
3.         The new phone will cost £145.00
Net effect – I am £135.00 UP.
So – for a 15-week wait – I am £245 better off.
Which means that O2 are paying me £16.33 a week to NOT do business with them.
Is it me?
