According to the Guardian, O2 has scored the exclusive on the Palm Pre for the UK. It’s been quite a while since we first saw a GSM variant of the Pre at MWC, but things have been quiet ever since. Beating out Vodafone and Orange, O2 – the UK’s largest mobile provider- hopes to stock the upcoming Palm device by the holiday season. But that’s not the only must-have handheld that the UK mobile operator will be carrying this year. Assuming Apple announces new hardware next month, O2 will also carry the latest iPhone before the Pre launches later in the year. This is going to be a stellar year for smartphones and I’d better start saving my pennies.
O2 has got it going on right now in the UK…the Pre and the iPhone?
Thats nice but am i going to be able to buy a sim free version?
It seems O2 have some very good negotiators having got exclusive rights to the iphone (until now) and to add the Pre to the range is very good going. I wonder if Vodafone is regretting backing the wrong horse in the Blackberry Storm.
Rumour has it though that the new iphone may be available in the UK through other Operators
