If you are a citizen of the UK and is desperately in need of an iPhone but don’t want to go to O2, then you might be happy to hear that Orange UK has recently signed an iPhone Deal with Apple to allow it to start selling the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S in the UK.

According to Gadget Venue:

This is a great move as a number of people haven’t been too pleased with how O2 handle customer service. Also there have been a few network issues where coverage is concerned and people say they haven’t been able to get the best coverage on the O2 network. Hopefully Orange’s network will prove to be better on that front.

Orange, which has the largest 3G network covering more people in the UK than any other operator, will sell iPhone in all Orange direct channels including Orange shops, the Orange webshop and Orange telesales channels, as well as selected high street partners. A pre-registration site for customers to log their interest has been launched at www.Orange.co.uk/iPhone
