I've not ordered one yet, so can't be 100% sure, but I would expect those buttons to be included or attached to the black casing.
Although the shells will fit either model of phone, the shells are constructed slightly differently.

Carphonewarehouse do standard upgrades, I doubt they would flash a phone from one model to another though. There are many places online detailing how to do it yourself and a popular site for this is Davinci.

Sorry, I might as well answer this while I am typing. SEUS is the Sony Electronic Update System, which is accesable through their website. You download a java client, connect your phone using the supplied data cable (there's a routine to make the data cable act like a service cable), and then run the software. It checks your phone, checks the CDA code and software version and then collects the correct firmware update from the internet for you. It then flashes your phone. (unless you alter the phone in the first place then it will not download W800i firmware to a K750i or vice versa)
CDA is basically a code that identifies your handset to SEUS. It tells it which network you are on and which part of the world you are in. Most companies just use this as intended, but certain companies that selfishly brand their phone change the CDA code to one that SEUS cannot handle and so it will not update the phone at all. This works well for the service provider as it means their branding is never removed, but customers loose out with this as it means you can't get bug fixes and software updates that the rest of us can get (may sound like a small thing, but recent fixes have certainly sped up my phone and made it more stable).
There is a way around this and that's to change the CDA (not the same as changing the IMEI, so it's legal). Once you do this you can use SEUS like the rest of us. Changing CDA is detailed on Divinci and other sites.

I'm so pissed off that they are lying to me, even before I sign the contract!! Is this what I am to expect??!?!?”
Ah the waiting for your new 'toy'. This sucks and I hate it. You know it's coming but you want it now
As for not delivering to your work address, if you order through a website then they normally don't do so, but order over the phone and it's normally possible depending on the network's policy. Some won't do it for security reasons. It's annoying for me because I always get home to find a card saying I've missed delivery and have to drive to the next town to pick the parcel up.
