Orange Announces Plans to Offer iPhone in UK
Orange, which has the largest 3G network covering more people in the UK than any other operator, will sell iPhone in all Orange direct channels including Orange shops, the Orange webshop and Orange telesales channels, as well as selected high street partners.

Several reports surfaced in recent months claiming that Apple would be ending its exclusive arrangement with O2 and that Orange and T-Mobile would most likely be the primary bidders to begin offering the iPhone there. Those two companies have since signaled their intent to merge operations in the UK.Top Rated Comments

As much as I would like to get one, I am very happy with Vodafone, and will not change airtime providers.
Sigh! Maybe in the future.
I still think Apple should let everyone sell them, but at least it's some kind of progress.

So glad to hear this. Hopefully it'll come to fruition before my contract runs out in March 2010 as it should push contract prices down significantly. :)
I hope this event brings prices down, and I hope it winds up on Vodafone too. Good times ahead!
