Just ordered a 5800 from vodafone in the UK. Asked them over the phone about this rumour and was surprised to hear them confirm it. Apparently the 'new' batch of 5800s on voda UK can be identified by the 'Gavin & Stacey' (a BBC comedy) branded boxes and preloaded episodes.
Mine comes on Tuesday so I'll be able to confirm then, but a brief search shows G&S branded unwanted upgrades have started appearing on ebay over here already.
