Wow, excellent news, i wonder if o2 will brand it? Going on previous phones i think not. 
Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

There were three things about this article, which I found most interesting:
O2 mention that they will be procuring future handsets, in part, from NTT DoCoMo. Perhaps the UK is set to get more Japanese style handsets, let's hope so.
O2 appear to have rather poor 3G network coverage; the article states that they are aiming for 50% coverage by June 2005, which means that their current coverage must be under 50%. It might be wise for anyone considering purchasing an O2 3G handset to check that they are within O2's 3G coverage.
The V800 is, rather annoyingly, not listed in the chart of handsets that accompanies the tariffs. It might be that the V800 won't be avilable right away, or perhaps O2 simply haven't decided on a price for it yet.

i am most interested to hear that O2 chooses to go live with a 3G network that can not at all compete with the coverage that their competitors offer.
Who would take out an O2 3G subscription knwoing that?

@Vlam The coverage should be a lot better before the end of the year. By which time there should be some nice NTT DoCoMo 3G handsets from SE and Fujitsu to complement the range as well, with iMode.

Well lets not get our hopes up high, take a look at the O2 X4 and lets hope thats not the branding they will give the V800.
