The latest word on the iPhone is that Orange UK will begin offering the iconic iPhone to British customers in 2 weeks time in the run up to Christmas according to an article on The Guardian.

Last month Orange UK announced they would offer the iPhone in the United Kingdom, and the first UK network to take exclusivity away from O2, and the word is Orange plans on launching the iPhone on the 10th of November which is a day after O2 loses exclusive rights on the iPhone.

The iPhone is to be sold through Orange shops and Phones4U, and the Carphone Warehouse is also expected to offer the iPhone on behalf of Orange UK.
