> Rumour: Vodafone to adopt the European iPhone
Bookmark topic
Near the end of the Yahoo article:
Apples iPHone: Is it all that?
"Meanwhile, rumours are circulating as to which European mobile network will pick up an iPhone exclusive, with latest reports suggesting Vodafone is a frontrunner. For the most part though, European operators are keeping tight-lipped and there is still no release date in sight this side of the Atlantic."
Although, there is still no solid release date.

It wouldn't surprise me, they probably have more clout than most. They are the ones who do tend to get exclusives on phones before other operators.
The branding ...
That could turn out to be nightmarish.

yes, I can imagine the dreaded "Vodafone Life" logo and button as well! Hope Apple manages to keep it pure! Still, I'm glad its going to be vodafone - despite some faults its a good network and covers most places. Signal quality is usually very good (at least here in Ireland) I also found it good in the UK and other European countries I've travelled to.
I do wonder though whether we'll ever see iphone generation one over here - very hard to see it taking off with no 3g. There has been some talk that this might already exist in the hardware and could be activated by a firmware upgrade but I doubt. Anyway, I'm sure iphone the next generation is already well on the way.
either way, I have no doubt that the iphone will be a huge step in the evolution of the mobile phone.

...the branding - don't see that! My vodafone treo 750v has no branding other then a quick start up animation...same my e61 (neither have a live!-key, either...not even a shortcut
), and my n91...
They just mutilate SE's... hahaha joking!

It will have 3G, when it comes for Vodafone
They're the ones with the most "partners" across Europe. They will be the ones with iPhone in Europe
