UK: T-Mobile or Orange to get iPhone 3G too?

Well, maybe.

Cellular News is reporting (based on a story in The Register) that both T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) and Orange are making noises about potentially ranging the iPhone 3G (note: not the 3GS) on their networks. T-Mobile is quoted as being in talks with Apple (NSDQ: AAPL), and Orange is rumoured to be also.

Of course there could be a whole host of reasons why Apple might consider going to another operator (or two) – no small consideration of which might be the fact that O2 (NYSE: TEF) has just announced that it is also carrying the Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pre exclusively!

However, I don’t think that would be enough to sway the Apple Marketing Juggernaut – more likely, if they are considering a non-exclusive Operator tie-up, then they have a set of very well-crafted reasons for it – which they won’t be telling us anytime soon!
