Sales will be conducted by Tesco Mobile, a joint venture with O2, and provided not only via regular Tesco locations but on the web and through the company's nearly 100 dedicated Phone Shops. There are 2,282 Tesco stores in total across the UK, a factor which should help to significantly expand the reach... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/25/phones.to.be.tied.to.o2s.network/ Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/12/gsm.version.of.palm.pre.due.at.telcel.in.mexico/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/palmpre-flash.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The Palm Pre in GSM guise is coming to Mexican wireless provider Telcel, the companies announced on Thursday. This will be the second webOS-powered handset that is compatible with GSM networks, after O2's device in the UK and several other countries in Europe. Apart from the different network support, the Pre will be identical to the US-spec device in its features.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/12/gsm.version.of.palm.pre.due.at.telcel.in.mexico/ Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/10/orange.counts.250000.in.preregistrations/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/orangeuk.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Orange on Tuesday became the second official iPhone carrier in the UK, marking an end to an exclusivity held by O2 since late 2007. Some 250,000 pre-subscriptions are said to have been recorded by Orange, which if translated into the first 48 hours of sales could put the launch on par with the original in June 2007, when Apple and AT&T sold 270,000 units in the US.

The plan combines O2's £9.79, 3GB per month tethering Bolt On with a standard O2 Home Broadband connection, at no extra cost. The deal is explicitly associated with the iPhone 3G however, and will be available only between November 10th and December 31st.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/09/combines.tethering.home.internet/ Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/06/telefonica.europe.ceo.answers.questions/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/gallery/sep2009/iphone3gs-black2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />UK iPhone owners subscribed to O2 will indeed be allowed to unlock for other carriers, according to the CEO of O2's parent company, Telefonica Europe. "Once the iPhone becomes available on other UK networks," says Matthew Key, "we will allow O2 customers to unlock their iPhones, although of course they will still need to honour any outstanding contract period they have.

A spokesperson declined to say how many had been sold but told TechRadar that the carrier sold more Pres on Friday than it normally does all other phones. Many of these were also often buying one or sometimes two of Palm's Touchstone inductive charging dock.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/19/o2.says.pre.strong.gives.no.iphone.look/ Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/12/tns.sees.palm.pre.launch.better.than.iphone/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/palmpre-o2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The launch of the Palm Pre on O2 could generate more attention than the iPhone did just two years earlier, a TNS study finds today. About 26 percent of 1,000 UK residents polled say they will or probably will buy a Palm Pre for its October 16th British launch; by comparison, only 17 percent planned to get an iPhone when it debuted in fall 2007. Switching is considered just as probable, as 32 per... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/12/tns.sees.palm.pre.launch.better.than.iphone/ Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/09/o2.uk.to.carry.hd2.in.under.two.weeks/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/htchd2-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />O2 UK has reportedly begun telling customers to expect the HTC HD2 in just over a week. The carrier expects the phone to be available on October 19th, or significantly ahead of HTC's official end-of-month target for the phone. Other carriers have yet to describe their own plans, though T-Mobile is also believed to be picking up the Windows Mobile 6.5 phone in the near future.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/09/o2.uk.to.carry.hd2.in.under.two.weeks/ Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/06/palm.pixi.gsm.spotted.in.vietnamese.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/palmpixi-gsmleak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A Vietnamese site's access to a prototype has confirmed that Palm is developing a GSM version of the Pixi for use on carriers beyond Sprint and outside of the US. The dissection shows a superficially identical device but, apart from the choice of network, that the phone may carry just 4GB of internal storage instead of 8GB in the version first headed to the US.

The HD2 is the first Windows Mobile phone ever to have a capacitive, multi-touch screen and can respond much more quickly and accurately to finger input than the resistive screens most Microsoft-based phones are forced to use. It additionally supports pinching, flicks and other gestur... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/06/htc.hd2.launches.with.win.mobile.65/ Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:10:00 GMT
