iPhone 3G and 3GS closing in on Orange UK, set for 10 November

Apple iPhone Touch UI Orange

As you probably know already O2 UK no longer claims the iPhone exclusivity and Orange is the second UK carrier to offer the device in its UK network. The latest piece of intel however has 10 November as the most probable release date.

In a quite tight-lipped manner Orange UK recently announced their agreement with Apple to offer iPhone 3G and 3GS. Plans and release date were kept a secret until today when Guardian UK made the release date public.

You may remember that in a 24-hour timeframe both Orange and Vodafone announced their agreements with Apple to offer iPhone 3G and 3GS through their networks.

So as Guardian UK puts it, Orange UK will start offering iPhone 3G and 3GS on 10 November, the exact day when the two-year O2 exclusive deal with Apple expires. Don't get too excited just yet as there won't be an iPhone price war with pricing projected to be the same as that of O2 UK. Still Orange will offer it with an "added value plan" giving users the additional benefits of some bonus accessories or pre-loaded applications.

At this point more than 200 000 users have registered their interest in getting the iPhone from Orange even though the carrier plans are not even announced yet. The Orange iPhones will be sold through Orange stores, Phones4U and Carphone Warehouse in only two weeks time.

Canada has the most stupid plans on earth, the reasons the iPhones are all on similar plans with the carriers is competition between them has set the pricing. So why are iPhones (and other smartphone's) on three year plans in Canada and 18 month...
