While Orange did not officially announced its partnership with Apple for the iPhone in France, two of our readers report that FNAC, the first French distributor for consumer electronics, will demonstrate the device soon. According to another reader, one unit was exposed and visitors could even test it, while FNAC representatives were claiming to have already some units in stocks.
This information supports some reports from our sources claiming that while Orange will be the exclusive carrier, Apple agreed that FNAC could sell the device. Similar agreements should also exist in UK or Germany, where one can expect MediaMarkt or Saturn to sell the iPhone. Do not hesitate to report to us via our Forum if you have seen ads or iPhone being demoed.
