It has been reported that Orange has sold 30,000 iPhones on their first day of sales in the UK, an impressive start for the second network offering the iPhone 3GS here in the UK, and showing what tremendous market potential there is for the iPhone.

As Orange announces their iPhone 3GS price plans and tariffs they have also included a 750mb fair usage limit on data traffic for their iPhone customers per month. This has created an outrage against Orange, but is 750mb enough per month or does Orange have to change their policy?

Orange UK today announced their iPhone 3GS tariffs on pay monthly contract over 24 and 18 months ahead of their 10th November iPhone launch, and as expected we will not see any big price war between Orange and O2, but what is in it for the Orange customers.

News has leaked today that Orange is planning to start selling the iPhone 3GS on the day that O2’s exclusive deal with Apple ends, on the 10th November, just in time to take up the fight for the Christmas customers. Find out more about iPhone on Orange here.

As the UK prepares for the launch of the iPhone on Orange and Vodafone, we have looked at the wider impact. Is a price war coming on the iPhone or is the true winners the mobile networks and Apple themselves? We have looked at the pros and cons of the latest deals.

Apple has reached agreement with Orange in the UK to distribute the popular iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, bringing an end to O2 exclusivity in the UK market. Having two mobile networks “fight” over the iPhone customer should lead to positive price movements from the consumer point of view.

The iPhone 3GS has become one of the hottest mobile phones in the UK selling in the millions, and soon it will also be available on Orange and Vodafone in addition to O2. Find out more about price plans and where to buy the iPhone 3GS and 3G in the UK here.
