Posted by Matthew Cawley under iPhone, News on Friday Jan 22, 2010Hi All,
Vodafone has made a large leap onto the iPhone cart selling 100,000 iPhones in the first week since they started selling it. Despite being 2 years late to join the iPhone market a lot of users have obviously been waiting for vodafone to catch up and it shows.
Vodafone had orders for 50,000 iphone in pre-orders alone and sold another 50,000 in the first week of sale. Huge expectations are expected once Vodafone start selling the iPhone on PAYG aswell.
Vodafone’s UK, CEO Guy Laurence, declared in a statement that “The demand from both consumer and business customers has been phenomenal. They want an outstanding phone on an outstanding network and we’re delivering that.”

It will be interesting to see who the big iPhone providers are in 6 months time from now, with Orange claiming to provide the best 3G cover in the UK, reputation that Vodafone has and the time 02 has had to build with their sales.
