O2 announces iPhone 3G Pay & Go pricing / launch date
We've known that a pay-as-you-go iPhone 3G plan was in the works at O2 since June, but the carrier has at long last fessed up and provided the formal introduction. The iPhone 3G Pay & Go plan will be live on September 16th, enabling users in the UK to purchase the handset sans contract for £349.99 (8GB) or £399.99 (16GB). Yeah, it's quite a bit more than free on contract, but those prices do include unlimited browsing and WiFi for the first 12 months after the phone is activated. Once that honeymoon ends, you're looking at £10 per month to keep browsing. Also of note, Visual Voicemail is conveniently omitted from Pay & Go phones, but if you're cool with that, you can get going in a fortnight by heading to your local O2, Apple or Carphone Warehouse store.[Via Stuff, thanks to everyone who sent this in]
Rogers set to launch Nokia 5310 on Pay As You Go plan
Rejoice Rogers music lovers, as there she is, the least beautiful -- though, rather affordable -- cell in the world, the XpressMusic Nokia 5310. Mobileincanada has spilled the beans on the upcoming release of this handset on Rogers, and for a purported bargain-basement price of $99 bucks, we're sure it'll find an audience in the chilly north. No word on when we'll see this lining the shelves, though we'll drop some hints as soon as we know more. Oh, and if you're hitting up the source for this, you're better off reading en français -- if you can dig that language -- as the translated site's a bit challenged.
FCC spills beans on Sony Ericsson K205a
Sony Ericsson may be gearing up for a product launch as the FCC spills the beans on a new -- and rather uninteresting -- handset. The K205a (that "a" does stand for Americas) packs a dual-band 850 / 1900 radio, IR for goodie transfer between devices, and we're honestly not sure what else. We doubt that this'll wring your wallet for much more that a nifty, and in turn should prove popular with the pay as you go crowd. We'll have more details on providers and such as we hear 'em.
