Orange today announced a new agreement with Apple to bring the iPhone to Orange customers in
Austria, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Jordan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia,
Switzerland and Orange’s African markets later this year.

Orange operates as 'Mobistar' in Belgium
 
Here are the countries for those who don't want to click the link: Austria, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Jordan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland and Orange’s African markets

I believe Austria was also on T-Mobile's list???
 
and...we in Apple's homeland who won't deal with AT&Ts crappy network must continue to wait as the iPhone rolls out in more and more places, and now not even exlcusive anymore. alas.
 
Yep, looks like they found a way around the law prohibiting locking down cellphones.

There are 2 Belgium cases that have appealed up to the European Court of Justice on whether Belgium's anti-bundling law is against EU's consumer protection laws (the cases will be heard on June 17, 2008).

Meanwhile, Belgium is thinking about repealing the anti-bundling law.

Looks like Orange is betting that Beglium is going to kill their existing laws.
