O2 rumored to be stocking N96

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

mobiletoday.co.uk report that O2 are to bow to pressure from customers and start stocking the N96. Like other operators they will not be totally subsidising the device on the lower tarrifs, and will only be free on a £75 per month tarriff.

As vodafone offer the N96 for free on their £45 per month tarriffs, this seems expensive.

O2 said:

The N96 has been available through our indirect channels since launch and now we are stocking it through our direct channels following a regular review of our product range.
