O2 Germany had suddenly stopped its sales of the stylish Toshiba TG01 smartphone. The unofficial news was that there had been an unexplained virus doing its rounds, because of which this whole mess occurred.

Anyhow, things seem fine now, as the Windows Mobile/Snapdragon running smartphone is back for sale on the carrier, at least online. We still do not know if retail shops have restocked themselves yet. We’ll let you posted on how things progress on this front.

The latest news from Samsung is that its massively impressive i7500 Galaxy is coming to O2 UK soon. The smartphone has already been lapped up by O2 in Germany and now it’s also entered Britain. The carrier has now officially confirmed that it will be promoting the Android-powered device.

The Samsung i7500 Galaxy will enter the UK market in August. O2 Germany is offering the smae at about $98 on contract, so though there is no pricing availability on the English one yet, we assume it would be around that same price range. You never know – they might even offer it free with some plan – imagination costs nothing after all, see?

Here is the most recent update on iPhone 3G S availability in the UK as of today. Check out the official report from O2 on the smartphone availability today. The demand for the iPhone 3G S far exceeds the supply, so there is limited stock as of now. So all those of you who are interested in getting your hands on the device would do well to check this list first.

There is limited availability of the 3G S 16GB Black and White and the 32GB Black. The white version of the latter is not available right now. The 32GB Black model has limited availability online as well, while the White variant and the 16GB phones are out of stock.

You guys may recall that the Palm Pre was supposed to debut in the UK last week. But there is no sign of it arriving there yet. Residents of the UK are still waiting impatiently for news of the iPhone contender hitting the markets out there.

There is rumor, though, that the Palm Pre smartphone will make its grand entry in that region sometime next week. But we can say nothing for sure yet. One thing cloying our minds is, “who is going to be the official carrier for the device?” We are betting on O2 at the moment.

Of course, there are those other lovelies just waiting to be picked up too, like the HTC Hero, iPhone 3G S, Samsung Jet and so on. If you guys were to choose, what would you go for?
