The latest revolution in mobile phones will soon arrive on the British shores. Rumors had it that the new device will be subsidised. The mobile company called O2 will be distributing the 3G iPhone exclusively in United Kingdom. O2 is now prepared to give away the latest iPhone to its highest-purchasing customers as it launches the 3G iPhone in the country next month. On the other hand, the CEO of Apple Inc. is expected to launch the 3G iPhone in San Francisco. This marks the start of the radical change with regards to the distribution of the unit.

at the same time, O2 would require its customers to sign up at their network before they can purchase the 3G iPhone from O2 stores.

On Apple Inc.’s part, they want to prevent some of their customers to have their iPhones unlocked for a small charge at the mobile phone specialists in some shops. Apple would not want these customers to unlock their iPhones and then insert their current SIM card coming from their existing provider into the 3G iPhone.

According to some analysts, at least 30 percent of the iPhone users are using this unlocking technique. However, both O2 and Apple Inc. agreed not to comment about it.
