Michael at MobileBurn highlights a tweet from o2 Germany pointing out that the all new Samsung Galaxy Tab Android tablet will hit the network in October costing €99 up front with a €27.50 contract. If you translate those prices directly to sterling, that equates to £82 up front and £22 per month. Now I reckon [...]

Enjoying watching the industry dance to Apple’s tune
Hands up anyone who actually believes that Apple completely screwed up it’s supply chain, and thus was forced to reluctantly delay iPad shipments to Europe? Yeah… it’s precisely what I’d have done. It’s a winning strategy. An absolute winning strategy, whether the company truly did screw things up or not. You really do have to [...]
o2 UK is STILL saying: “iPhone only on o2″
Have a look at this photo sent in by a rather annoyed reader. It’s from the back of yesterday’s Guardian UK. Don’t you think it’s getting ridiculous that o2 are still running the ‘iPhone only on o2′ advertisements? I first wrote about this two weeks ago. At what point does this become a trade description [...]
o2: “We’re still only official UK Apple iPhone retailer”
That’s the message that o2 are giving to consumers walking into their stores at the moment. Readers across the UK have been telling me they’ve been witnessing the rather lax attitude of the o2 store design chappies. They’re still advertising that the iPhone is ‘only on o2′. Not quite accurate given Orange entered the market [...]
o2′s still officially the only UK supplier of iPhones, eh?
I had an email from a reader who tells me that he’s been into a few o2 stores in the London area recently and is still seeing the ‘old signs telling punters that the operator is the only official retailer of Apple iPhones.’ Carphone and Phones4U swapped their branding around just before launch day so [...]
The full UK Palm Pre review: webOS is where things get exciting
It’s been just over a week since I took loan of a Palm Pre, a device that bears the weight of Palm’s future success on its shoulders. Or so the story goes. And it’s far too good a story for most pundits not to have written, me included. The truth, of course, is a little [...]
o2 Top Up Surprises shows 52% response rate
o2 UK has 10 million Pay As You Go customers. In November last year, the company introduced a ‘Top Up Surprises’ campaign for customers. It works really nicely: Every time you top-up your account, you get a text back from o2 with a ‘surprise’. Surprises range from extra texts, picture messages and minutes through to [...]
First impressions of the UK Palm Pre: We like it!
Yesterday was the day of the pickup. I’d been instructed to meet a PR called Greg at a secret location in London’s Soho. Once there I’d receive a short briefing and handover of Palm’s much anticipated smartphone, the Palm Pre. The device goes on sale in the UK today exclusive to O2 and priced to [...]
T-Mobile and Orange to announce merger tomorrow?
Just in: Reuters is reporting T-Mobile UK and Orange are set to announce they are in exclusive talks to form a joint venture. Whilst neither party will comment on the report, sources close to both companies said an official announcement could happen as early as tomorrow (Tuesday). Reports over the weekend in the UK Sunday [...]
o2 mobile data gerbils and hamsters in wildcat strike
The little gerbils — and the odd hamster — that, together with a bunch of string, keep the mighty o2 UK data network running, are on strike this morning. They’ve had enough. The result is that the o2 data network is, obviously, screwed. What the hell is wrong with o2? It’s supposed to be carrier-grade. [...]
o2′s Apple iPhone exclusivity terminates on October 9th
Well then. No wonder they needed the Palm Pre, eh? Have a read of this story: Although there has been plentiful speculation about O2 losing its iPhone exclusivity over the last few weeks, sister site Mobile Entertainment has seen documentation that states it will end officially on October 9th. O2 signed its original deal with [...]
