O2 Leaks its Own iPhone 3G Pre-Pay Pricing

by admin on Jun.30, 2008, under Gadgets, Top Gadgets

Oops. O2 prematurely posted details of its UK Pay & Go plan, realizing the mistake soon after and pulling the page. Sadly, despite the amount of coverage this is getting, nobody thought to take a screen shot. Mac Rumors has, however, posted details of the tariffs, which look both reasonable and realistic.

The handsets will be £300 ($590) and £360 ($710). This price includes six months of unlimited data use. After that, it will cost you £10 per month for unlimited data, with various Pay & Go tariffs on top. These are typically arcane, and require a copy of both the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Rosetta Stone to decipher.

Moto ROKR E8: Too Little, Too Late?

Moto ROKR E8

Motorola’s new flagship phone, the ROKR E8, has finally arrived in the wild courtesy of T-Mobile.

The surprising thing is how poor the specs look in the post iPhone world. This is a flagship product? A 2MP camera, a pathetic 2GB of built in RAM (plus a bundled 1GB microSD card), haptic feedback and a music player.

But most telling is the list of what it doesn’t have. No touch screen (although the ’soft’ keys are touch sensitive and context-aware), no 3G (EDGE only!) and no accelerometers. Fine, you say, it’s cheaper than the iPhone, right? Wrong. T-Mobile is pushing the E8 for the exact same $200 that AT&T is charging for the 8GB iPhone. Not to get all pro-Apple here, but unless you really hate AT&T, why wolf you buy this instead of the iPhone?
