So far, O2 had an exclusivity on the iPhone 3Gs – people who wanted the latest iPhone had to stick to O2 whether they liked it or not.

According to The Guardian, this situation could be over soon:

The mobile phone company announced last month that it had become the first UK network to prise open O2’s exclusive grasp on the device, which has helped the company maintain its place as the UK’s largest operator.

Orange is understood to be planning to launch the iPhone on 10 November, the day after O2’s two-year exclusive contract with Apple comes to an end. It will be sold through the company’s own shops and Phones4U .

As of now, not much further information is available – stay tuned!
