France Telecom's Orange will offer the Apple iPhone in France.

Thus, now we know all the official carriers to offer the popular handset in Europe. The 8GB iPhone will become available on November 9th in three major countries: in the UK from O2 for £ 269 ($536) , in Germany from Deutsche Telekom (T-Mobile) for € 399 ($553) and in France from France Telecom (Orange) for a yet undisclosed price.

T-Mobile will be the official carrier to offer Apple's iPhone in Germany.

The device will feature GSM/EDGE and Wi-Fi connectivity and Apple's iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.

The iPhone's German debut is scheduled on November 9th, then it will be available in Deutsche Telekom's shops and in T-Mobile's online shop at a price of €399 (VAT included) after a 2-year contract.

Apple iPhone and iPod Touch users can now easily access data stored on their PCs using the new Files2Phones application from 1stWorks, a content delivery feature recently added to both iPhone and iPod.

With Files2Phones one can remotely view any kind of files on his PC via the devices mentioned above, and can also securely transfer the data to them.

Today there exist a multitude of options to unlock the famous iPhone.

Well, here is another one, but this time it's free. The anySIM, generously provided by the open source community, is an untested patch, which will probably be able to unlock the iPhone for the future firmware updates.

Apple has finally announced the first European carrier for the iPhone . The O2 UK will officially launch the handset on November 9th for £269 including VAT. The following voice plans are available and will include unlimited data:

• £35 - 200 mins + 200 SMS
• £45 - 600 mins + 500 SMS
• £55 - 1200 mins + 500 SMS

As we expected, no new features were added to the iPhone, and there is still no word on the possible European release of its 3G version, so Britishers will just have to be satisfied with EDGE/Wi-Fi connectivity instead.

Apple is about to release the third software update (probably 1.1.1.) for the iPhone that will improve the overall performance of the handset and will add several new features, including support for the company's new iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, inaccessible on the current firmware versions.

Apple is holding a London news conference on Tuesday, where it will supposedly unveil its plans on launching the iPhone in Europe. The most likely European carriers are Spanish Telefonica's O2 UK unit, Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile and France Telecom's Orange.

So far there aren’t many details about the future conference: Telefonica, France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom have maintained a strict silence about any deal, but we can expect the iPhone to appear in the European market before Christmas.

With iPhoneSimFree it takes just 5 minutes to unlock the iPhone and get it to work with any GSM carrier you want.

Just install the application and run it through the icon in the main menu. Once started, it will connect to a server via Wi-Fi and unlock the device. To avoid any problems during the process, make sure the handset's battery is fully charged and don’t forget to turn off the auto-lock option.

Apple offers $100 store credit for all its customers who bought the iPhone for the old price of $599.

This move is due to a recent $200 price drop caused by low sales of the device. The whole idea belongs to Steve Jobs, who knows how customers feel right now. Thank you, Mr. Jobs!

Apple has dropped the price for its 8GB iPhone by 1/3, and stopped the production of the 4GB model.

In addition, the company has launched the new iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, allowing customers to buy and download tracks and albums via Wi-Fi connection.

Further more, expect a 3G version of iPhone to appear in November.
