TeliaSonera to Sell iPhone in Nordic and Baltic Countries

Tuesday May 27, 2008 12:37 am PDT by Eric Slivka

TeliaSonera issued a one-sentence press release today announcing that they will be bringing the iPhone to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. They provided only a rough timeframe of "later this year" for the rollout, provided no details on iPhone or service pricing, and did not address whether the agreement is exclusive or if other carriers will be permitted to strike their own deals with Apple to carry the iPhone in these countries.

Article in ComputerSweden.se http://computersweden.idg.se/2.2683/1.164288 (in Swedish).

PR-man answered "nothing more to say" when asked regarding price and when it will be available. WWDC anyone?

Excellent that it will be Netcom (which is owned by TeliaSonera) that sells it in Norway... that means it won't be Telenor! :D

Confirmed by Netcom:

Well this CONFIRMS iPhone 3G is coming since only 3G phones are sold thru operators here. To be more precise the Finnish law doesn't allow anything other than 3G phones to be bundled with a subscription.

It will be interesting to see how the iPhone fares in Finland against Nokia... Nokia has about 85% market-share here :).
