Apple CEO Steve Jobs said: “We're thrilled to be partnering with O2 to offer our revolutionary iPhone to UK customers.

O2 CEO Matthew Key added: "The iPhone is a breakthrough that is changing the way people use their mobiles forever, and we're thrilled to have it exclusively for O2 customers in the UK."
