o2 Win Apple iPhone Battle

Speculation is rife that o2 mobile phones have beaten off stiff competition from rivals Vodafone to secure rights to sell the eagerly anticipated Apple iPhone. Initial reports suggest that o2 will have the iPhone on the shelves in time for Christmas with the 4GB and 8GB Apple iPhone’s looking to retail at £300 - £399.

This is currently purely speculation but there’s no smoke without fire and several tabloids and news services have reported that a deal has been struck so things are looking good for o2  as they have secured the must have Christmas gift for 2007. I know I’ll be asking Santa nicely for one!!!

Apple’s stance of only dealing with one mobile phone operator per country has led to intense speculation over recent weeks and months and if O2 have indeed secured the contract then kudos to them as the iPhone launched to excellent reviews and fantastic sales in the USA recently and O2 will be looking to hit the UK market as soon as they can get UK versions in the shops.

Apple may have shot themselves in the foot to some extent as people who are happy on other networks may be loathe to move over. I for one have a mobile on three and am reasonably happy with their provision and would not wish to move as my mobile number is currently tied to the network. Hopefully something can be sorted because I WANT AN IPHONE (stamps feet, rolls on the floor with tears in eyes!) and don’t really want to have to change network and more importantly my phone number which I have held for many years!

No official deal has been announced yet but as soon as it does you can be sure we will bring you all the reaction right here at broadband-tv-phone.com.
