Well it was going to happen sooner or later …
O2 don’t got no exclusive no more, no, no, no – it’s somewhat of a free-for-all now with the iPhone it seems, with Orange getting their cake and eating it first. When, did I hear you say? Ah, well, that’s not really clear – but if O2 had a 2-year exclusive, that would make it November this year, assuming my memory serves me right 
For right now, you can register your interest here.
What I am more interested in right now though is what the tariff(s) are going to be, how much the device will cost, and a killer point – which other networks are going to get the iPhone. There have been rumours about T-Mobile and the iPhone for some time now, and given the JV between Orange and T-Mobile, I think it’s pretty much a cert. So Vodafone and 3, where you at?

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
