Orange nonchalantly confirms iPhone deal in France

by Thomas Ricker, posted Sep 20th 2007 at 8:10AM

We're still waiting for official word from Apple on this, but it would seem that France Telecom's Orange has sealed the iPhone deal. In the wishy-washiest of public announcements, chief executive Didier Lombard said that the iPhone would be distributed in France "before Christmas, probably in November." It will not be subsidized but no price was given. Having Steve issues are we? Guess you really can't compare apples and oranges.

[Thanks, Thomas G.]

I guess they will be announcing the official winner and the launch date at Apple Expo which is coming really soon now.
