Apple picked O2 as its UK carrier partner for the iPhone. During the Apple UK event today, Apple announced pricing of the iPhone, and it is 269 pounds. They will be available in time for Christmas by November 9th.

So here is the roundup, no 3G on the UK iPhone (WHAT!!! yes, it is not a sick joke). However O2 has partnered up with Cloud to provide 7500 Wi-Fi hotspots to give iPhone user free extended data coverage aside from the EDGE connection.

We will have videos of the Q&A on the event soon. For now though, we have pictures.
