O2 is losing the status of being the only legal iPhone seller in UK on 9th October. The source of this report is none else than Mobile Entertainment, who apparently have seen the documents proving the fact.
It seems that O2 can legally sell iPhones for 5 years, being the unique retailer for just 2 years. This can only mean one thing, that the strongly-iPhone-linked carriers Orange and T-Mobile will have the permission to sell iPhone 3G units, O2 still having the exclusivity for iPhone 3GS and hoping for future handsets’ exclusivity as well.
It’s an interesting thing that the iPhone has an unique seller in just three countries (US,UK and Germany) from a total of 80 countries in which the phone is being sold. This is why this change, applied in the UK won’t shatter the market.
We’re waiting to see the iPhone’s prices, as it readies for Orange and T-Mobile, of course, if they actually get to sell this product.
