Vodafone UK playing catch up, will sell iPhone 3G / 3GS as well

Following yesterday's press release dialogue between Orange and O2 on the matter of O2 losing iPhone exclusivity in the UK, Vodafone are also joining in on the discussion by just announcing that they have also scored an iPhone deal meaning that the UK iPhone market is now officially going free-for-all.

Today Vodafone PR team successfully managed to beat their own record for the shortest press release ever. It seems that the PR guys have been having too much Twitter for breakfast as otherwise we can hardly explain how they've managed to shrink the news down to a single sentence.

At least they're straight to the point stating that Vodafone have also scored a deal with Apple for distributing the iPhone 3G/3GS in the UK agreement with Apple and Vodafone will start selling the two devices starting in early 2010.

Vodafone is surely quick to catch up with the competing carriers as it was only yesterday that Orange announced they'll start selling the iPhone 3G and 3GS in UK and Ireland.

Vodafone pricing and more exact availability will be announced sometime in the upcoming months - hopefully, in more than 160 characters.
