o2

Well, the O2's winter sale time has begun. Carrier is offering few Android smartphones with a two-year contract and 26 GBP/month plan that comes with unlimited minutes and texts, and 1GB of data:

•     Sony Xperia T for free
•     Samsung Galaxy S III for 99 GBP (previously 299 GBP)

Also, O2 has few mid-rangers, offering them for free with a two-year 10.

The “lucky” three UK carriers to get Galaxy Nexus are Vodafone, O2 and Three.Neither Three nor O2 nor Vodafone unveiled their launch dates but we guess it’s fair to say the Galaxy Nexus will start selling at some point within a month or so.

Vodafone's expected two-week reign of exclusivity on the HTC Sensation has dropped, leaving the phone ready to be scooped up by other networks.

The dual-core Gingerbread device is available on pre-order for O2 and Orange with plans starting at £40, expecting to ship the week of June 20th.

White Xperia Play is now finally available and it’s exclusive to O2 in the UK.

The device comes for 429.99 GBP contract-free and for 299.99 GBP with a 2-year contract.

O2 UK customers will have to wait a little longer to get the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play.

The UK carrier performed some tests and determined that the device has too many software bugs to be released on its network.

O2 is currently working with Sony Ericsson to fix the bugs as soon as possible, but a new release date is still unknown.

Albert Fetsch of O2 Germany has recently announced via Twitter that the HP Veer is going to be released with O2 Germany in May. The device will ne running WebOS.

Unfortunately, that's all the information for the moment regarding the subject.

According to O2 Germany, the HP Veer will be launching on the O2 in May, which presumably means it will also be available elsewhere in Europe around the same time, and likely in the US as well.

Sadly, there's still no word on any US carriers for the Pixi successor.

O2 is getting the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play soon and probably it will be will be the only one carrier who offers this white version of the device.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is featured with 1GHz Scorpion ARMv7 processor, 4-inch TFT, capacitive multi-touch screen, 3-axis accelerometer, e-compass, a 5.1-megapixel camera on the back, and a front facing VGA.

Also the device comes with white docking station.

Sony Ericsson has officially announced the Xperia Play availability in the UK. This device will be available at Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, and O2 stores.

There isn't any information about US operators, but likely AT&T is a candidate for exclusive selling.

This device features a unique slide-out gamepad, Android 2.3, 3.7-inch WVGA display, 1 GHz processor, and 512 MB of RAM.<

Finally, Samsung Wave II (S8530) has become accessible in the UK after a certain delay. You can purchase it from O2 or from phone retailer Phones4U. Prices may vary depending on contract terms.

This smartphone features 3.7-inch WVGA display, 3G and WiFi connectivity on board, 5-megapixel camera, 1GHz processor, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, and of course microSD memory card slot.
