According to the Times Online, France Télécom's Orange subsidiary has decided it will start selling the iPhone in the UK on November 10, ending the exclusive arrangement that had been enjoyed by Telefónica's O2.
Ever since September, when Orange announced it had won the rights to be the iPhone's second service provider in the Unied Kingdom, the exact date it would begin service has been a closely-held secret. More than 200,000 customers have reportedly pre-registered to buy the iPhone from Orange, even though the company had not announced a release date, details on the service plans or even a price for the phone itself.
