UK: O2 get the iPhone deal - launch in November

[iAm]

I didn't think O2 would get the contract at all, but im really happy they did. I've been using them for years now and always found their pricing and coverage much better than other UK providers.

The phones will be sold in O2, Carphone Warehouse and Apple stores from 9 November costing £269 including VAT.

"We are coming to the UK and wanted to pick the best carrier and that is O2," Apple chief executive Steve Jobs said at a news conference in London.

Great to see we finally get a date too.. now i wonder if O2 can do any nice upgrades..
