Is O2’s iPhone exclusivity ending?
For the past week and a bit, there have been numerous reports stating that O2 (who are currently the only carrier in the UK that are allowed to sell the iPhone) is coming to the end of it’s exclusivity agreement with Apple.
Mobile Today states that both T-Mobile and Orange are both in talks with Apple about selling the iPhone 3G, however not the 3GS, O2 will remain exclusive to sell that handset. Mobile Today report that the move would come into play in early September if it goes through, as this is when O2’s exclusivity deal will end with Apple.
Mobile Today add that O2 is “furious” with the news and is highly concerned that rival operators may undercut O2’s arguably high pricing, something that sounds good for the UK consumers.
We will keep you posted on developments with this one!

That’s great news. I’d really love an iPhone but the lack of tariff choices sucks.
I’m sure when it get’s opened up to other networks the price is bound to come down too.
