£180 cashback offer with O2 phones
July 6, 2007
I don’t normally like to blog about mobile phone offers as they are quite common and not very hard to find but this one seems quite special.
Carphone Warehouse are offering £180 cashback on the Samsung U600/E840/E900/D900/x830, the Sony Ericsson K810i/W850i/S500i/K800i, the Nokia 7373/6300 and the LG Shine this week.
Unlike a lot of cashback deals you don’t have to wait for your £180 or send in any bills, they send you a cheque straight away. The offer is available on O2 contracts and will be very popular I expect.

iPhone will be on O2 in the UK
July 5, 2007
After yesterdays post about T Mobile apparently winning the rights to the iPhone in Germany it appears that O2 has won the rights in the UK.
According to The Times Vodafone turned down the deal as it wasn’t commercially viable and O2 will be selling the iPhone in the UK before Christmas.
The iPhone is likely to retail at £300 and O2 apparently will allow Carphone Warehouse to sell the iPhone after the initial launch period.
Apple’s agreement with O2 is thought to include a continuing share of the revenues generated by each iPhone customer. O2 ’s network will also have to be specially configured to accommodate the Apple handset.
The deal is huge news for O2 and Carphone Warehouse, the buzz in the US shows that the phone is as popular as expected and there is no doubt it will get the same reception over here.
