In an article over at ft.com you can read that O2 is close to landing a deal with Apple regarding distribution of the iPhone – but the interesting part of the article is where they report that most of Asia and Europe will have to wait until 2008 before they get the iPhone. Good news for Nokia and Sony Ericsson but really bad news for all consumers.

Apple is to limit iPhone’s European launch this autumn to the UK, France and Germany. It will follow elsewhere in Europe next year, when it will also launch in Asia.
