It seems other mobile phone operators are picking up the iPhone and they have agreed to Apple’s requirement of sharing 10% of calls and data transfer revenue from the customers with the iPhone. The deals are being made with T-Mobile Germany, Orange, and O2 in Europe. Whats interesting is that this phone has so much appeal to them that they would share the revenue for it to get access. There has yet to be a mobile phone provider who would be able to do something like that.
People are just waiting to unlock the iPhone if possible, but there hasn’t been a successful story yet which can be mass produced.
