Though the iPhone has been launched throughout the United States, Europe (along with the rest of the World) has yet to experience the upper echelon of telephony. Up until now, no information has come out of Apple regarding the iPhone in Europe.

Today, Apple Insider has established (based on a report from the Financial Times) that Apple is set to announce (at this year’s IFA at Berlin) the carriers that will pick up the iPhone. T-Mobile will do so in Germany, Orange in France, and 02 in the UK; all have exclusive rights to the phone with the shiny glass.

It is not known if any of these carriers will enable 3G speeds on the iPhone.

Apple rakes in 10% of all proceeds from “calls and data transfers”. Judging by that, we can conclude that Europeans will have to fork over Euros on a data plan that is not flat. Apple, again, has struck deals that cell phone manufacturers have never had the leverage or gall to do in the past.
