O2 Official iPhone Carrier On UK

O2 is the carrier of choice for the iPhone on the United Kingdom. The iPhone will arrive on Novembrer 9.

The price of the 8GB iPhone is going to be £269 ($535 USD) including VAT. Carphone WhareHouse is going to distribute the iPhone in the UK with over 1300 retail stores. Visual Voicemail is going to be enabled too. Unlimited Data with £35, £45, £55 plans. You are going to Activate the iPhone on iTunes just like you do on AT&T.

Guess what?

No 3G yet, only EDGE, but O2 made an arrangement with TheCloud.net to put over 7500 Free WiFi hotspot in the UK for the iPhone. This event only covers the UK and later they are going to announce other carrier arrengements.

The reason the iPhone is not getting 3G Network Compatibility is because this according to Steve Jobs:

“The 3G chipsets are real power hogs. Handset battery life cuts power to 2-3 hours. Our phone has a talk time of 8 hours and that’s really important when you want to use your phone for internet and music. 3G needs to get back up to 5+ hours, something we think well see later next year. … WiFi is way faster than any 3G network. Energy efficient EDGE with better, faster WiFi. That’s why we chose it.”

The iPhone Ads on the United Kingdom are going to be the same as the United States but with a British voiceover. And Instead of Showing the New York Times they are showing The Guardian.

Maybe while Steve Jobs is on Europe is going to announce the T-Mobile deal in Deutschland, right?

Update:Maybe tomorrow they are going to announce the T-Mobile or Vodafone deal on Germany. Then on Thursday the turn its for France, and T-Mobile or Orange are candidates.
