And with the way models change so rapidly anymore I'm sure they don't want to be stuck with old devices. Most places have to buy inventory from the manufacturers and I doubt the manufacturers will take them back.
Got my latest phone from Carphone Warehouse and found the staff to be knowledgeable about the deals available and more than happy to jumpt through hoops to change to keep my number when I switched from o2 and had no issues juggling the data/calltime numbers around after I found a better deal on their website. Not had a problem with them - I appreciate that some people will have a poor time when dealing with companies like this, and that anyone else's MMV but they're always the comments you hear/read about, it's rare someone will pipe up on an internet forum praising a firm.

How long did it last without the AC adapter plugged in?
