Well we all know that O2 has lost its exclusive in the UK for the iPhone 3GS – now, most of the other Operators are getting in on the act. However, it would transpire the same fate has occurred for the Carphone Warehouse, according to Pocket-lint.com.
Now it is going to be that both Phones4U (another popular high street retailer of mobile devices) and also HMV (ostensibly a music shop) are also going to be carrying the iPhone. Specifically, Phones4U will sell the iPhone on O2 and Orange, and HMV will carry the iPhone on an in-store deal with Orange, in selected stores.
Currently the thinking is that Orange will start selling the iPhone in mid-November, and Vodafone (the other confirmed carrier) will begin at some point in 2010.

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.
