O2 UK is now selling the HTC Sensation XE, which is still the best Android smartphone made by the Taiwanese company. The Telefónica-owned operator is offering the device for free to anyone willing to commit on a two-year contract with a 36 GBP per month plan. Of course, there are also some more expensive options as well as those that require some cash upfront — all of which you can see from this page at O2′s website (accessible only in the UK).

O2 to get Galaxy Nexus in November
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungO2GALAXY Nexus
Google had mentioned that it would be launching the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus with partners around the world, and now O2 has unveiled itself as one of those partners with a new teaser page for the hot new device.
The page gives the general spec sheet information about the Galaxy Nexus that we've gone over plenty of times, and does mention it will include an HSPA+ radio for "up to 21 Mbps download speed". The big news however is that O2 looks like it will be a launch partner for the Galaxy Nexus as the site says the phone will be available to O2 customers in November.
Still no exact date given for release, but November is only a week away, so we're hoping we'll be getting some more specific ...

UK: Samsung Galaxy Ace Purple now available from O2
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungO2Galaxy Ace
If you’re looking for a “different” budget Android smartphone, maybe O2 UK has something for you. The Telefónica-owned operator is now offering the Samsung Galaxy Ace Purple, which as you can imagine is a version of the Galaxy Ace in purple. Not sure why the name change was needed, but hey – God knows what the marketing folks of today’s mobile operators are thinking. As far as I’m concerned it could be just an SEO trick to get people googling “galaxy” and “purple” to O2′s website.
Anyway, aside from the color change, there’s not a single difference under the hood. In other words, expect the same 800MHz processor, 5-megapixel camera, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth and so on.

O2 to test a VoIP app in UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: O2
It looks like O2 understands the future of mobile carriers, which is probably not a split between voice and data, but a pipe of all data with VoIP replacing traditional voice plans. The carrier is about to start a trial run of a new mobile app which will allow users to make free VoIP calls on WiFi connections.
The trial run will be starting soon with 1,000 users testing the O2 Connect VoIP app for iOS and Android. The trial will be invite-only for consumers and business customers, but will be extended to attendees of the Wired 2011 event this week. O2 Connect won't require any additional signup or usernames, and will use your mobile number as the ID. It is still unclear exactly how the prod...

Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksRIM BlackBerryO2PlayBook
The BlackBerry PlayBook launched today in the U.K. and If you live there and were planning on buying the 7 inch tablet, don't run into any O2 locations. The carrier has decided against offering the tablet to its customers and in response to O2 subscribers who say that they want to buy the device, the carrier says it refuses to sell the BlackBerry PlayBook because of "issues with customer experiences".
O2 has decided before against offering its customers a device it didn't believe in. About 2 months ago, the mobile operator decided not to offer the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play to its clients, citing below average customer experience and units plagued with bugs.
