Orange France gets Apple iPhone contractFollowing on the UK’s O2 and Germany’s T-Mobile announcement that they will be bringing their respective European nations the much-heralded Apple iPhone, France’s Orange has just announced their intention to bring the iPhone to the crepe-eating, mime-loving population of France. We’re not surprised, but at least it’s official now.

France Telecom’s spokeswoman said, “We have signed an agreement with Apple to sell the iPhone.” And the handset is slated to go on sale in November - likely simultaneously with O2 and T-Mobile Germany’s November 9 launch.

Finally, the European iPhone theater is official. We’re sure all you Euro Apple fans can’t wait for November to roll around. Anyone planning on waiting in line for an iPhone?
