Orange Announces iPhone for France
 As has been rumored, Orange announced today that they have signed an exclusive agreement with Apple to distribute the iPhone in France. No details (price or plans) have yet been provided, and Apple has not yet announced the partnership. Apple Expo, however, takes place next week starting on September 25th. Earlier this week, Apple announced the iPhone for Germany and the UK. Article Link |

I fully expected the Steve Jobs European Tour to roll into Paris today. Not the case I guess

All those rumors getting true one after another kinda gets boring. I want the Powerbook G5 back
 Price will probably be the same as in Germany.

Viva la Revolucion!
Steve's like a friggin' missionary right now. Can't wait for the iRaq iPhone. Probably will have some sort of mine searching widget or something cool.

since I am on orange in the UK, I think something needs to change....
let the french have the O2 deal, and the UK get the orange deal, then I could have an iPhone on Orange, as I prefer their customer services way above that of O2... Or I should move to france....

two things i dont understand about the european release.....
why would anyone in europe buy a phone that is not 3G? That would be like us buying a macbook pro that only supported dial up internet. Also....what is the point of exclusive deals in europe, when anyone can just change out the SIM card and use any and every server on the continent? |

As I've said many times, lots of people have 3G on their phone, and don't use it, that's why people will buy a non-3G phone. This goes more so with a Wi-fi enabled phone with free use of The Cloud and my uni network. I'm either there or at home so I don't need 3G to surf quickly.

This fragmentation of networks for the European release just doesn't make any sense to me. I hope Steve has a pretty good reason other than who was prepared to sacrifice the biggest chunk of their revenues in each market!
I'm a bit jealous of France and Germany, the first time I could ever say that! Why do we have to get lumbered with O2?

Orange IPHONE
This is strange, As orange is still in the main a UK company (but owned by a French company) and bar far has the best data support, customer service of any UK network. Why was O2 chosen in the UK on Orange in France. Money i guess. SO SAD

I guess after the UK announcement all the other companies got impatient for their announcements. I would have expected apple to make the announcement in similar style as the UK.
