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."

    OR

    "O2 Offered iPhone Contract in UK - Mobile phone operator O2 is reported to have won the sought-after deal to sell Apple's iPhone in the UK."

    First, the first line seems to imply different things, and secondly, they weren't offered it, apparently they were the winning competitor practically bidding for the contract. I'm so tired of misleading summaries, its not a long article, its shouldn't be hard to summarise *waits for someone to compaign about the article's "Girth"*

    When you say 8 pounds are $240, do you mean pounds sterling or pounds of flesh?

    At the current exchange rate, £8 are $16.14, give or take a cent.
