Tesco to offer iPhone in the UK - Blogrunner
First I have heard of it, unless they are acting as a middleman for O2

Trying to work out though if the phones are being sold on the Tesco Mobile network (part of O2) or on O2, im assuming O2 ?

Pricing will be the same, but I'm sure Tesco will be offering extra clubcard points etc etc to get people to sign up with them.
All good for Apple in the end.

Yeah thats what I was thinking too.
A friend of a friend mentioned it yesterday and I just thought I would look into it.
Seems to think that Tesco are going to launch a price war with it.... Somehow I didnt see that happening.

Awww what are you trying to say, Tesco aint classy enough lol.
Would it be better if Waitrose were doing it instead
Interested to see what the uptake will be though, as has been said, unlike the others, Tesco are in a position to reward their customers with products, and have a great advertising platform too.

doubt that Tesco's will be any cheaper or any dearer than anyone else for the Iphone as its the actual handset costs that dictate the priceplan.
Plus its no Blackberry 9700!

Depends what you need? Minutes / texts etc, and what phone you want.
All providers will be a few quid apart at most for their tariffs.
I would have to agree....
However I dont think Apple can stop Tesco giving all their iPhone customers say 1000 Clubcard points a month, therefore a £10 discount.
In reality they will be the only provider in a position to compensate customers in such a way. Interesting to see if they do something like that

Thank you Apple for moving the mobile device game forward and keeping it moving. Thank you O2 for allowing me to unlock my mobile phone for free, easily and with style.

I must admit that I thought the iphone was a gimic that only people who drove new minis could own, but I have to admit, I am very impressed. 
Wish I'd got one now.

I didn't buy a Fiat 500 to be "trendy", so perhaps I am allowed an iphone. I hate minis, I thought it would have to be the same for the iphone
