It appears we might have an idea where the next stop on the iPhone Europe train might be. It started in the UK then traveled to Germany and France. Two more companies are vying for a spot on the list of carriers, Telenor and TeliaSonera.

Just days after Apple announced that O2 and T-Mobile would be official carriers for the iPhone in the UK and Germany respectively, Orange have confirmed that they have won the contract to supply the handset in France. The network, part of the France Telecom group, was predicted to clinch the deal months ago, and an iPhone apparently using the network was spotted earlier this week.
