HTC had already previously mentioned that the HTC 7 pro was expected to launch in Europe in early 2011. And now the folks over at O2 Germany have put up a page showing the Windows Phone 7 device which features a QWERTY keyboard, announcing that the device is expected to be available next month.

That launch date could change, we guess, but we’re glad that it is almost here. We’re looking forward to seeing this device arrive.

At long last, you can get your hands on an iPhone 3G without having to sign up to for long term contract. Apple has just announced that the PAYG iPhone is available now!

You can buy it in O2 stores or online, where Apple is charging £342.50 for the 8GB version and £391.45 for the 16GB. The 16GB version is available in both black and white.

O2 has put out an official announcement that they will be bringing Apple’s iPhone to Ireland with the handset launching on March 14. Prices are listed at €399 ($590) for the 8GB model and €499 ($740) 16GB. Contracts range from 175 minutes a month up to 700 minutes and all come with 1GB of data transfer, with the pricing ranging from €45 ($67) to €100 ($148) for the 175 minute plan.
