With the iPhone due for release to the European markets in the next few months, the question as to which wireless carriers will be chosen to support the device has created fevered speculation.
According to Mobile Today, a major retailer stated that wireless carrier O2 has “taken the deal on the table from Apple”. Rather than haggling over strict terms, the company may have accepted an initial offer.
So far, no official statements have been made to confirm the deal, although there is a rumor that such an announcement would be made at O2′s opening of its Carphone Warehouse store in the Oxford Street area.
Apple has not responded to calls for comment.
