O2 Offered iPhone Contract in UK

davidmcg writes "There has been speculation on who will provide the service for iPhone in the UK. Now, the answer has been provided. It seems that O2 has been offered the contract to provide telephony services in the UK for the iPhone. It seems that the iPhone should be available in the UK in time for Christmas. O2 have refused to confirm or deny these reports, so is it yet another unconfirmed iPhone rumor or is it fact? We can only wait to find out."

Apple section?

[Anonymous Coward]

When I finally decided to filter news from the Apple section to avoid "iPhone" news. You come and put it in the "hardware" section? C'mon!

A big chunk of the world is denied basic such as:

- peace
- clean water
- clean air
- housing
- electricity


Hey, you live in California too??

- peace: The best reason for War the US has to offer.
- clean water: I sure as hell don't drink it from the tab, and some people here can't even afford to buy drinking water (more expensive then gas)
- clean air: Ever been to LA?
- housing: renting 2 bedroom apt at $2000/month till I can get my $750K 4 bedroom house (no yard).
- electricity: 2 more weeks of heat and no water and we will loose that as well. Rolling blackouts where discussed on the radio again today.

But f&^%ck all that...I gots an iPhone baby! :-P

That's because you are a bunch of peasants better suited to driving tractors

I'm sorry, you're mistaken for New Zealand, where I live -- plenty of farmers driving tractors down here, even on the motorways :)

...so, what you're basically saying is, there are places that exist which are *worse* than california (like baghdad or beijing). Given that level of endorsement, I hope you don't blame me if I'm not packing my suitcase for a trip to LA anytime soon :)

Somehow, I don't think I'll be camping outside my local Apple store [flickr.com] anytime soon...

American "beer" is a facade

It's all piss. It's just a question of how thick you like that piss.
