I was so shocked to hear that o2 doesn't offer either HTC 10 or Google Pixel. How is this possible? I've been waiting for my upgrade for three years (from my HTC One M8, which I have loved) only to find that I may have to change providers just to get a competitive smartphone.
How can one of the leading networks in the UK not offer leading smartphones?
Has anyone else found this, and is there a reason why o2 doesn't offer them?

O2's business strategy has been a mystery for a couple of years now. They seriously need to review it.

Thanks Jonsie - it is a bit of a mystery. Is it likely that an o2 facilitator will come and answer this post? I would love to understand more... they're in danger of losing a customer! Which is a shame, because I love o2 - I just love my device more.

Thanks MI5, can understand that they have to have a generic response. Probably quite tough, possibly a licensing/supply issue, and potentially facilitators won't even know the answer. But there must be some kind of response to give... how can they be a telecoms company but provide no phones?!

..... and the phones that they do supply that people want are usually out of stock!

The Google Pixel is an EE Network exclusive in a deal done by Google, so no other network is offering it, CPW are offering it on all networks in a deal again done with Google.
No idea, but think HTC is down to lack of demand and cost per handset and the discount offered to Telefonica as a group.
