O2 is the means that lets us navigate our lives \u2013 our sat nav, our diaries, our photo albums. It enables those experiences that make life richer. This new platform is a celebration of what the O2 name stands for and the role it plays in giving us the freedom to live life to the fullest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ad itself is very watchable, and while robot Bubl seems to have gone, Sean Bean is still doing the voiceover.
