Apple has just officially announced the carrier which will sell iPhone exclusively in UK. As we all anticipated, it’s O2 for UK. However, Steve Jobs declined to comment about carrier for other European countries. Rumors had it that European version iPhone will include 3G and 16GB storage, but that doesn’t seem to the case. Euro iPhone is same as the US version, no hardware changes included and the camera is still 2 megapixels. After all, it was too unrealistic for Apple to deliver two variants of iPhone.
European iPhone is a bit expensive than the US one. It’ll cost GBP 269 incl. VAT or around EUR 390, where as the US version costs $399 (approx 287 EUR). O2 customers who wish to purchase the iPhone will have to sign an 18 months contract which starts from GBP 35 per month with unlimited data transfer, but under fair usage term, which limits it only upto 1400 internet pages a day!
European iPhone will go on sale starting from November 9th and Carphone Warehouse is said to be the distributor. I really want to see this phone go on sale in India, or atleast an unlocked version worldwide!
