iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS coming to Orange in the UK this year

Orange have announced that they are to sell both the iPhone and iPhone 3GS on their network in the UK later this year.

An announcement on the companies website:

Orange UK and Apple have reached an agreement to bring iPhone 3G and 3GS to Orange UK customers later this year. Orange globally now offers iPhone in 28 countries and territories.

It seems that the O2 exclusivity of the handset is drawing to an end, and about time too!

No details on prices and plans yet.  Keep watching mypocketOS.com for more information, although they do have a register you interest page at www.orange.co.uk/iphone.

Here is O2′s response to the announcement:

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.

Are you looking forward to getting you hands on one?
