Vodafone enters UK iPhone market

Vodafone has reached an agreement to sell Apple's popular iPhone in the UK.

The announcement follows news that network operator Orange had secured a similar agreement with Apple.

The deals mark an end to the exclusive UK arrangement between O2 and the US technology firm, which has been in place since 2007.

Vodafone says users can register an interest online, with the handsets becoming available to customers from early 2010.

The agreement sees both Orange and Vodafone selling both the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS.

The iPhone won't be as significant now because tons of people will have them.

[StefanWolves]

So happy about this, will be switching Orange in July! hopefully they will have the next iPhone on their network too.

Lmaooo omg, O2 will seriously have to start offering alot of things out. Shame they wont offer anything to their current customers. I doubt the phones will be much cheaper mind, the contracts might but the phones, no.
