Still no iPhone provider in Europe
While Steve was quick to announce Cingular (or is it AT&T now? Who knows...) as the American carrier for the forthcoming iPhone, they're yet to line up a carrier in Europe. Market Watch is reporting today that Apple is actively courting providers, and may select Vodafone as their sole European iPhone carrier by the end of the year.Meanwhile, Google is supposedly considering Telefonica SA to carry a rumored "GPhone" in Europe.

I concur about Vodaphone being horrible. I have it and can't change because it's a company phone. I keep getting booted off their 3G network, and when I can receive it, well, then I can't place a call or receive any... Then there is their love for "v" versions of phones, I guess V stands for violated. My SonyEricsson clearly has been. (see comment above about ringtone and such). I wish Apple'd go for Orange (which owns other network like TIM for instance). I never had such problems and all they do to their phone is preload some wallpaper which match their colors (not even a logo like Cing^H^HAT&T does) and customize the icon for the WAP connection. All the rest of the features are unlocked. And they're not exactly shy about innovation either (only difference is they don't charge you for each piece of "feature" like the infamous V does).

Not Vodaphone. I'm with O2 and I'd happily switch to Orange (or T-Mobile), but I cannot stand Vodaphone.
