Movistar surrenders upon the king

May 9th, 2008 by Álvaro Arregui

Telefonica Movistar is going to launch the iPhone in Spain immediately. Finally confirmed!

Yesterday at the Professional Communications Congress, PROCOM Aragón 2008, hold at the university of Zaragoza, The biggest mobile phone operators in Spain: Vodafone, Orange and of course Telefonica Movistar, talked about the immediate situation about the iPhone in this country.

Fco. José Santos Esteras from Telefonica affirmed they have an exclusive contract with Apple to distribute the iPhone in our country, but this contract contract won’t be illimited, Danie Pujol from Orange said it will be effective supposedly for only three or six months.

On the other hand, Orange are coming to an agreement with Apple to distribute their product in other countries than France or Spain.

Finally Telefonica have the exclusivity of the iPhone in Spain for the next months and neither vodafone nor orange will attack.

Unfortunately they didn´t talk about the launch date of the different available versions of the product: iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iTablet or all of them.

    What does “immediately” mean? Days, weeks, months, …?

    ¿Qué significa “inmediatamente”? ¿Días, semanas, meses, …?

  2. Álvaro Arregui Says:

    hello Harvey,
    We don´t know exactly when it will be released, but i think it will be at the same time worldwide. Probably June.
    Follow our blog to know more details.

    Thanks for the information! It seems like when it comes to iPhone info Sevenclick comes first!

    PS: This unavailability of current-model iPhones is just weird!
