In a new section for IntoMobile, I am going to take a regular look at the state of the UK MNO homepages – in terms of what’s on them, their arrangement (user interface), and anything else that I think pertinent. Web has grown to become it’s own respectable channel for purchasing, services, support, and CRM,…
O2 UK moves 190,000 iPhones in first 8 weeks of sales
All those European-iPhone naysayers are sure to love this little tidbit coming out of the UK. The Financial Times is reporting that “people familiar with the situation” have indicated that O2 UK, Apple’s British iPhone partner, has moved something like 190,000 iPhones out its doors in the first two months of iPhone-sales – which is…
3 suffers setback in MNP dispute
3 sufffered a setback on Friday (18th Jan) when a judge ruled it could not have access to it’s rivals documents and emails. 3 hoped this access would prove that Vodaone, O2, Orange, and T-Mobile colluded to slow down the process of customers keeping their number when they ported networks….

O2 customer numbers soar on the back of iPhone interest
This isn’t a post about how many iPhones have been sold (since people don’t leave that kind of data laying about!), but rather about the knock-on effect in O2 stores in the UK. It’s been reported that there has been a three-fold (that’s 3x for those of you that like to abbreviate) increase in…
O2 CEO confirms rampant iPhone sales in UK – gives Jobs a nod for incredible data revenue
Turns out that O2’s claims of the iPhone being the fastest selling device in the carrier’s history wasn’t all marketing-talk. O2’s head honcho recently paid his Jobs-ness a visit in Cupertino, California to presumably give each other their “high-fives” over how well the iPhone is doing in the UK. Despite reports of slow-sales, O2’s Matthew…
Apple iPhone outsells LG Prada, HTC Touch, Nokia N95 in Europe
If there’s one thing that gets people riled up more than details on how well the iPhone is selling, it’s news that the iPhone is out-selling the Nokia N95 in Europe. The iPhone clearly outsells these handsets in the US, but Europe has been regarded as a reluctant market for the iPhone, given it’s lack…
O2 iPhone having reception/signal problems in the UK
Now, let’s start this one off with a little disclaimer – the US iPhone launch did not go as smoothly as it could have gone. Don’t get us wrong, the US iPhone launch was in incredible example of Apple’s logistical prowess, but AT&T seemed to have largely underestimated the stress that more than a hundred…
Apple facing laggard O2 iPhone sales in UK?
Having witnessed the ridiculous hype and initial demand for the iPhone here in the States, overseas iPhone carriers are going to have a hard time matching the feverish rate of US iPhone sales. But, that didn’t stop O2 from expecting to sell/activate upwards of 100,000 handsets during the O2 iPhone’s initial launch window. So, how…
O2 picks up HTC Kaiser as O2 Xda Stellar
The promotional graphic might indicate otherwise, but it looks like O2 will be picking up the heralded HTC Kaiser as the O2 Xda Stellar. We can’t imagine how the advertising drones let the “Stella” typo slip through the cracks, but it’s still nice to see O2 finally getting with the game and offering the “holy…
