Ive just noticed that 02 have now got branches in Czech Repulic, Slovakia and Asia seems theres growing then.
Looking at the Phones in Germany ive noticed they have the Samsung U700 which is only on Vodafone then theres this
a updated Nokia 7373
how come 02 in other countries sell phones that aren't available us lot based in the UK
I take it the iPhone will be released on other 02 Networks across the world wont it too

Its almost the same thing even here @miss uk. We have MTN but most of use use phones from other providers. But I take this as a failure to meet the consumers requirements and demmands.

they should stock the same handsets tho not different ones

@Miss UK
I believe 02 secured the iPhone exclusive for the UK market only other carriers have it in different European countries so no 02 don't have an exclusive deal for the whole of Europe they have it just in the UK so far. But that is not to say they may not get in some other countries as well but they haven't as yet.

One more other thing we should note is that the operators ussually sell their devices at a higher price. So for them not to have most of them might be a blessing in disguise.

Funny how they say there 02
then they don't stock the same handsets I think
Posted by Twometre
sure in that
Posted by Miss UK
do 02 Germany have different plans that cheaper or more expensive then the Uk ones?

O2 UK is actually one of the later additions to the O2 family from what I gather. O2 Germany was there first I think and a couple of others. There all now owned by Telefonica, a Spanish network.
But, the fact they share the same name and same parent company means nothing in reality.
O2 UK share almost nothing with the other O2's, and have nothing in common, so no their phones and exclusives will all be different.

Oh right I really did think they were the same even when I was in Berlin this time last year I was connected to o2-de even recieved wap settings which was abit annoying lol...
Roaming charge for the 3 days I was there was only £2.08p which I thought was pretty good too, made me reason to believe 02-UK and o2-de were just the same basically
I visited a o2-de shop in Berlin they had phones on display which you could explore before you bought, 02-UK don't do this

Black 7390

Some of their XDA's look awesome, and they have a much bigger range than our choice of three lol.
XDA Cosmo
XDA Terra (i think)
XDA Comet
XDA Nova (ala HTC Touch, but looks alot more like that new Ted Baker Needle that CPW unvieled thats a version of the HTC Touch, looks like he didn't design it after all lol)
XDA Neo (I like this little one)

you'll prob get them eventually wont you I mean 02 branches across the Uk!
Posted by Daedalus85
No, probably not, the different divisions of O2 across the world dictate what each area gets. From what I've seen, especially from sales, the XDA range doesn't need to be that extensive here, where as Germany apparently needs an Orange-style range that includes plenty.

Phone sales over Germany are heavily priced compared to our prices here within the uk my friend has also told me and even when I Was in Berlin last year handset seem more the the average price here. O2 shop there seemed the same but they have handsets u can actually use, was playing with a K800i thru o2 active de instore lol.. I hope that black 7390 comes out here do like that! Never used the XDA Series before they do look gud tho!
