New website would be my guess.

Link for those who don't know what's going on.

The comments are funny on that page, I don't think it's what they were expecting.

Also loads on Twitter..

Not a single positive comment in the top tweets when searching @o2 for hashtag #changing the vast majority calling for better data plans and tethering.

Bit OTT if it is just a new website.

Somebody else suggested a new customer forum, the current one is looking a bit worn.

Before I looked at the picture I thought it might be something to do with the new HTC models, but that isn't a product page.

Maybe a MyO2 update.

I liked the comment about the removal of 'The Cloud' access.

If you look at the screenshot carefully it looks like the forum, headings, then the poster / date on the right hand side.

99.99999% sure it's a new user forum.

That is very poor, that is not a big announcement, that is not even an announcement, that should just be something that happens.

I was hopping for o2money to come back or being allowed to make calls over wifi for free/discount.

Some networks consider the release of the Full Monty to be a big announcement, others seem to think changing one forum for another on the website to be a big announcement.

Oh for gods sake ThineWonk, change the record will you

Every single opportunity you slate o2, coming from someone on 3 thats a bit rich

Can't you just accept that some people are happy with o2, some are happy with 3, some don't like o2, or 3, it's a fact, get over it

Go back to one of the most complained about network, because i'm sick of seeing you spout the same old crap over and over again

Now, now, there's no need for that. It isn't his fault the announcement is just a forum.

Oh I'm sorry, last time I checked this was a mobile discussion forum. Those were the top tweets in reply to O2's announcement.

You criticise me for apparently every single opportunity to slate a network and then proceed to slate a network in a seemingly unrelated rant!

This is just as bad as Apple's over-hyped Beatles announcement.

Not exactly very exciting - has to be said.

The new forums have been launched a bit early. Using the same software as the GiffGaff forums, interestingly enough.

I hope you are all as excited as I am...
