Love the iPhone, but hate the network it’s tied to? Good news–if you live in the United Kingdom. British fans of the Apple handset will
soon get another choice for the phone, which is set to arrive for Orange
U.K. later this year, making it the second carrier to offer the device,
after O2.
The carrier has yet to offer a concrete arrival date or pricing plan for the iPhone 3GS. O2 has had exclusive domain over the phone in the UK for roughly two years, and the carrier doesn’t seem particularly excited at the prospect of competition, a recent statement reflects the its firm belief in its own awesomeness:
We’re proud that we’ve been able to offer an exclusive iPhone deal to our 20 million customers for the last two years. We always knew that iPhone exclusivity was for a limited period of time, but our relationship with Apple continues and will be an ongoing success. We have over 1million iPhone customers and they remain very important to us.
