We have received confirmation from two 100% proven sources that next Tuesday's UK-only Apple event will herald the iPhone's arrival to the United Kingdom. The first European iPhone will most probably arrive in mid- to late-October, not on November 1, as some media outlets have previously reported. Our sources are the same ones from when we broke the news of the secret meeting between Steve Jobs and Telefonica/O2's President Cesar Alierta and said Bollocks! to all the earlier rumors. Unofficially confirmed, but we stand by this one.

Is this site no called "Imodo"??
Damn it, don't tell me the other surprise is 16GB 3G iPhone. That would be a slap in the face of their US customers that have to suffer on the EDGE network.
Only if your comments are called iCrap.
See, you couldn't even get the small letter-big letter thing right. Very disappointing.
I've been having some trouble commenting here.... but I ask the question:
I thought phones in the UK were not allowed to be locked to a carrier? Does this mean an unlocked phone for UK customers?
@NZRUSS: It's not that they're not allowed to be locked to a carrier, it's that the carrier has to allow the phone to be unlocked and may charge a fee to do so. If the phone is sold with a contract, standard early termination charges are the remaining fixed monthly payments on the contract.
In short, you have the right to use an iPhone on any carrier that lets you, but you have to pay the purchase price, the full contract value and an unlocking fee to do so.
Apple Expo in Paris will take place at the end of the month of September. Will Apple launch the french iPhone ?
"Hello Chaps" would be a great name for a leather bar.
@King of the Wild Frontier: ...but "Goodbye Chaps" would be greater.
Oh great, O2. Is Jobs deliberately forming partnerships with shitty, overpriced networks?
