Bringing iPhone in Britain will add more profits and publicity to any carrier which wins the right to carry the device in the country. Earlier this year, we’ve heard that Vodafone will most likely get the rights to sell Apple’s handset in Europe. Now, we have another contender – Orange. Apparently, executives from both carriers are in the midst of negotiations with Apple to grab the exclusive rights for the UK market.
At present, mobile phone retailers in the country are receiving emails and phone calls on a daily basis asking when the iPhone will be released, where they can buy it and how much it will cost. It is expected that Apple announces its partner-carrier for Europe by September, with a launch scheduled for mid-December. (via: Mad4MobilePhones)
