O2 UK and European mobile phone retailer Carphone Warehouse have clinched a deal to distribute Apple's iPhone in Britain.
After months of speculation that O2, part of Spanish telecoms giant Telefonica, had won the contract, the US consumer electronics company finally confirmed today that it had chosen the largest British mobile phone operator as its distributor.
The phones will be sold through O2, Carphone Warehouse and Apple stores in Britain for £269 (plus VAT) from November 9.
Apple is also expected to hand a German iPhone distribution deal to Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile and a French deal to France Telecom's Orange later this week.
