Bugger..General comments on the net suggest T-Mobile is the front runner.. AT&T have the American contract and it seems that T-Mobile could be the logical choice.. However there are questions about thier ability - seeming that they are a much smaller provider than Vodaphone..

Trick, the middle pagest of yesterday's Times carried a story about Vodafone being favourites. They have a far larger customerbase in europe than any other single provider. I think their world wide t/o last year was touching £90bn - r maybe that was dollars.

Not like it makes a whole lot of difference.

02 won it if you didn't know btw. I bring this thread up because it ain't worth starting a new one for what Paddy's are willing to bet on, about what will happen to the iPhone in the UK.
