One day after Orange UK issued a press release announcing they will soon be offering the iPhone, Vodafone jumped on the bandwagon. It appears they didn’t want to waste any time, hastily publishing a 3-sentence press release that gives us only the bare details. But I suppose that is all we really need:

Vodafone and Apple today confirmed that they have reached agreement to bring iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS to the UK and Ireland in early 2010.

Beginning today, Vodafone UK and Vodafone Ireland customers can register their interest in iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS at www.vodafone.co.uk/iphone and www.vodafone.ie/iphone respectively. Pricing, tariffs and availability information will be announced locally in the future.

Vodafone now offers iPhone through thirteen of its operating companies.

So there you have it – you’ll now have the added options of Orange AND/OR Vodafone in the UK in the very near future. Any idea which carrier you’re leaning towards?
