Really interested to get SGS2 at 799 on launch, but my contract only expires on 8 July.

I called Maxis to check if it's possible to get SGS2 on launch, with the 2 year contract only starts on 9 July, they said it's not possible, I have to wait.

Don't you think Maxis is being really rigid on this? Or maybe it's the customer service officer being too stupid, I am looking for second opinion before giving up
