Vodaphone will become the third mobile phone operator to start selling Apple’s iPhone in the UK.

However, the UK’s second largest operator won't begin selling the 3G and 3GS versions of the iPhone until “early 2010”, meaning that it will miss out on the busy Christmas selling period, reports the Financial Times.

The news comes just one day after Orange announced that it too had agreed a deal with Apple to sell the iPhone in the UK, ending the two year exclusivity deal previously held by O2.

Yesterday Apple said that there are now over 50 million iPhone and iPod touch owners worldwide, and that more than two billion applications for the platforms have been downloaded from the App Store in a little over a year. Earlier this month the company claimed that the App Store houses over 21,178 “game and entertainment titles”.

True, most people end up unlocking them anyway so it makes sense to make it officially available to (nearly) all operators. Annoys me when phones people want are operator specific for 6-12 months. Still not interested in the iPhone though!

Argh! Not more bloody iPhones on the market. Why can't these people just buy Nokia's or Sony Ericssons and just keep quiet in the pub like the rest of us...
