Orange admits to iphone deal
That should do it. The third of the reported European iphone carriers has announced a deal with Apple, and Mac Inspector can finally stop posting updates about iPhone carriers for a few weeks. To the bar!
An Orange spokesperson told CNN that the company had reached an agreement to become the official carrier in France, thus setting the stage for the iPhone's big official European rollout on 9 November.
Orange is remaining even more quiet than German carrier T-Mobile. The company did not announce anything in regards to pricing or service plans. As for the release date, Orange would not yet commit to the November 9 date, just saying that 'Le Jesusphone' would be released some time during the month.
As for the rest of Europe, save a major surprise announcement, there don't appear to be any more rollouts planned this year. There are no reports of Apple working on any further deals, and T-Mobile has said that it won't be bringing the device to other countries until some time in 2008.
