And the first mobile operators in the UK to unveil plans to offer the soon-to-be-announced Samsung Galaxy S III are… O2 and Vodafone. The Big Red giant prepared a dedicated coming soon page where interested users can leave their email to be informed when (pre)orders start. Meanwhile, O2 turned to Twitter to share the good news.

UK: O2′s Samsung Galaxy S II gets Android 4.0 update, too
I love the way British carriers are competing against each other to be among the first ones to launch the Ice Cream Sandwich for the super-popular Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone. Three won that race, with Vodafone and Orange saying their customers will have to wait a little longer. Now we have O2 joining Three to release the latest (and greatest) version of Android to its SGS2 customers. Unfortunately, it’s not an over-the-air update and you’ll rather have to use Sammy’s Kies software in order to make it run ICS. … Read more

O2 UK says the HTC One X will be on store shelves in less than 3 weeks
British operator O2 has tweeted that they’ll start selling HTC’s newest flagship, the One X, on the 5th of April; that’s less than 3 weeks away! Just to recap, HTC announced the One X on February 26th and said it would on the market within 60 days. If O2′s tweet is legit, then they’ve most certainly achieved their goal. So what’s going to make the One X special anyway? Starting with the screen, it’s 4.7 inches diagonal and puts out 1280 x 720 pixels. It uses second generation Super LCD … Read more
