O2 leaks their own 3G iPhone pricing plan then retracts

O2 has posted its pricing plan for the iPhone 3G. If you purchase the device through its Pay & Go prepaid program, you can get the 8 Gig iPhone 3G for £300 ($590) or the 16 Gig for £360 ($710). Included in this package, you get six months of free WiFi access, after which it will cost £10 ($20) per month.

Apparently, these prices were immediately pulled off their website after being published and replaced with a message saying that details would be available “shortly”. Disorganized much?

Each of the four publishers will release one game on all five of the largest UK networks. Glu Mobile’s Transformers, Gameloft’s Guitar Legends, EA Sports’ FIFA 08, and an unnamed fourth title, presumably from I-play, will be released on all five networks simultaneously in June, July, August, and September.

“We have been working with the network operators on a number of initiatives to grow the market of mobile gaming, and this is work that builds on the official charts we publish,” said Michael Rawlinson, Managing Director of ELSPA. “We want mobile games publishers to become more involved with ELSPA so that we can assist them further in this growing and exciting area of gaming.”

ELSPA hopes that this collaboration will set a precedent for the industry.
