Apple iPad in the UK has gotten a lot more affordable. Orange, Three UK and T-Mobile each have announced a slew of new pricing options as well as contract plans that brings the iPad closer to affordability.

This pricing war was set in motion last month by Orange who announced that their iPad 3G-enabled models will now available at a price between £199 and £349. These customers also get some affordable data plans. Close on the heels of this announcement, T-Mobile has announced a plan similar to Orange, except that there is no Wi-Fi hotspot access that is available with the latter.

It is worth noting that both T-Mobile UK and Orange are now part of the same group. Three UK customers have been offered a new data plan that will give them 15GB of data at just £25 per month. Of course, all these plans are available only with new two year contracts.

A couple of days back, Orange announced their iPad 3G data plans for the UK market. Close on the heels of the announcement, O2 and Vodafone – the two other network carriers who have partnered with Apple in the launch of iPad in UK have announced their data plan pricing as well.

With O2, there are three different data plans on offer – 500MB per day, 1GB per month and 3GB per month. These plans come at a cost of £2. £10 and £15 respectively.

On the other hand, Vodafone has offered only two data plans and none of them are on a daily access basis. Vodafone’s 250MB per month plan is priced at £10 while its 5GB per month plan is available at £25.

Here is a comprehensive listing of all plans on offer. Personally, I find Orange the most attractive among the three

This is strictly a rumor and is more likely to be false than true, but according to “leaked“ Orange documents, HTC Bravo might launch in March and Orange could be a likely partner.

According to reports on Phandroid, these are the likely specifciations of the new smartphone from HTC

1GHz Snapdragon CPU
3.7? AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with WVGA resolution (480 x 800)
5MP camera
Wi-Fi
GPS
HSDPA
HSUPA

Think it’s very close to the Nexus One? We too feel the same way and that is exactly why we think this rumor does not mean much.
