O2 UK will lease you a smartphone for £55 per month, with minutes, texts, data, and insurance included

If you're in the UK, you should know that O2 has just announced the first smartphone leasing programme for consumers. As the name implies, this effectively means that the operator will lease you “a new 16 GB smartphone” for 12 months. After that time elapses, you can choose to renew your lease, choose another smartphone to be leased, or simply move on to something else – a long-term contract perhaps. The scheme requires you to pay £55 per month (or £65 per month for a 32 GB device) for those 12 months.

While Apple fans around the globe have had the iPhone 4S for a while now, many of our friends in the Far East haven't gotten to enjoy the fruits of their countrymen's labor due to a lack of governmental approval. You see, before a handset makes it onto Chinese networks, it's got to be approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). The good news is, the 4S has finally been blessed by Beijing and will be brought to the masses by Chinese Unicom sometime soon.
