Ladies and gentlemen, he was a good buddy. Its large glossy screen made people around envy you (at least when you were in the hotspot area), and its media playing capabilities were second to none. However, he's not longer with British citizens… iPhone, at least in its 2G version, is official dead in the UK. And [...]

We saw the Motorola Z10 hitting O2 UK's "Coming soon" pages back in September of last year. Back then we thought MOTO will have the device ready within a month, but as you know, we were so wrong. The Z10 was officially announced during this year's CTIA and is just starting to become available. O2 scored [...]

O2 UK has announced it is launching Business Broadband, along with making their home broadband truly nationwide. As you might know, O2 were later to market with their BBand offering, but, I take that as a sign of making sure things were tested fully, and dare I say it, working consistently (unlike some other notable [...]

It looks like the price cut that O2 UK implemented on the 8GB iPhone variant in the UK boosted sales beyond even Apple's expectations. Reports were trickling in that stores across the country were running low or completely out of stock on 8GB iPhones. Now, we're hearing reports that all retail channels in the UK [...]

Alcatel is looking to bring hardware to the US through O2 Wireless (not to be confused with O2 in the UK). The Alcatel E206a will be offered as a super-basic (read: cheap), dual-band GSM handset.

So, what was the biggest barrier to entry for potential iPhone customers in the UK? By the looks of it, it was the price.

 The names of the nine applicants for the L-Band spectrum in the UK have now been made public - O2, and (an offshoot of) Qualcomm are in there, making us wonder not very much about what they might be planning…I'll give you a clue….Broadcast Mobile TV! For those of you not up on your radio frequencies: L-Band [...]

Following fellow European iPhone counterpart T-Mobile's move to subsidize the iPhone 8GB when purchased with a a qualifying rate plan, O2 UK has announced that it will be shaving a cool £100 off the retail price of their iPhone 8GB stock. The offer is only valid from April 16 to June 1, and only applies [...]

What good is having 3G data access if you can't actually get to use that data connection to its full extent? Not much good. O2 is apparently down-throttling many of their 3G customer's data speeds. According to the Register, unless the customer is paying more than £35 a month or is a business customer, O2 is [...]

Recently, Ericsson and Napster announced the largest European hosting contract for Napster Mobile with O2 UK. O2 UK's customers will be able to search, browse, preview and purchase full-length tracks from Napster's catalog of over 5 million tracks and, thanks to the dual delivery, play them both on their mobile phones and PCs. In addition, if [...]
