O2 Offered iPhone Contract in UK

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the nice-work-if-you-can-get-it dept.

davidmcg writes "There has been speculation on who will provide the service for iPhone in the UK. Now, the answer has been provided. It seems that O2 has been offered the contract to provide telephony services in the UK for the iPhone. It seems that the iPhone should be available in the UK in time for Christmas. O2 have refused to confirm or deny these reports, so is it yet another unconfirmed iPhone rumor or is it fact? We can only wait to find out."

    Look, I'm a mac fan boy myself, but jeepers! Leave the rumors to the rumor sites and the news to slashdot and others.

    Otherwise, just syndicate from their RSS feed and save the effort.

    Yes, specific customer demand is really what pushed IBM to work on the lower power consumption Power5 CPUs in order to bring Power5 to the MacBook. That was really successful for them.

    Yes, partners do push the industry, but Apple is and will always be a bit player with influence only over the young, stupid yuppies to whom their products are marketted. Nobody else cares, particularly not the technology manufacturers who can either spend a shitload of money to give into demand to sell a couple hundred thousand units, or stick with existing core competency and continue to sell millions upon millions.
