Following RIM's unveiling of the Curve 9350, 9360 and 9370 earlier today, O2 UK follows Vodafone UK in announcing that they will be stocking the BlackBerry Curve 9360.
O2 seem pretty quick on the ball lately, normally a network that stocks a device later than others they are now one of the first to announce or release a device. Always good to see networks on the ball. So, any current BlackBerry Curve owners looking to upgrade to the new sleeker and thinner line? Sound off in the comments.
Until today the only place to get yourself a BlackBerry Bold 9900 in the UK was through Vodafone. However today customers of O2 UK can rejoice as the Bold 9900 is now available through the network. Pricing is coming in at a slightly lower range than through Vodafone, as you can get the device free on the £32 a month tariff and above. The contract runs for 24 months but there is an 18 month contract where you would pay £5 more than the 24 month contract. For £32 you get 300 mins, unlimited texts and a choice of a data allowance bundle - £3/month for The Basics 100MB, £6/month for The All Rounder 500MB and £10/month for The Works 1GB, the All Rounder bundle is included in the monthly payment.
The highest you’d pay for the Bold 9900 is £149.99 upfront and £16.50 per month + data allowance bundle. For upgrading customers, you may be able to keep your existing plan.

Phones 4 U and Carphone Warehouse have had the BlackBerry Bold 9900 available for pre-order for a while now but only via the Vodafone network. Since Vodafone themselves now have the Bold 9900 available on pre-order7, CPW and Phones 4 U have now added Orange and O2 UK to their list of networks the device can be purchased on.
Phones 4 U has a delivery date of August 24th. While Carphone Warehouse gives us an expected delivery date of August 18th, though forum users have reported that some Carphone Warehouse stores seem to have their dummy displays up already.
On a separate note, I spoke to a Vodafone customer service representative earlier today and they said the Bold 9900 would be delivered on August 15th if pre-order through their website or over the phone. Vodafone store availability should be the same but going on what usually happens, it seems some stores will get priority over other stores.
