The rush for being among the first ones to bring the iPhone on every new market is gaining proportions, as people just can't wait to be among the first ones to get their hands on this device. Amazon UK have hurried to post their iPhone offer these days, although there are almost five more months to wait until they are actually selling it.

The iPhone has been announced for a European release starting with the 1st of November this year. At this time, Apple is currently making efforts to make the best deals for choosing the right carriers to sell their only phone on this market.

Amazon UK must have a sure thing set and have hurried to announce it to everybody. At this time, the iPhone is not in their stock. They will deliver it in the UK starting with the 1st of December this year. Still, that is one month away from the official launch on European grounds, which makes it quite possible to see this handset here even sooner than that.

More than 700,000 iPhones are reported to have been sold over the first week since its release, which makes it only natural for Apple to look for similar results in Europe too. Just to make sure that the product deserves its wait, they will release a special version of the phone for this continent. Unlike the US one, the European version will also pack 3G capabilities.

Amazon UK will be selling the iPhone for 330 pounds, which stands for USD 660 for the 8GB version of the handset. The price is larger than the USD600 that the phone has been made available for in US. The difference in cost might trigger the dissatisfaction of buyers, as even the previous price of the iPhone has been considered by a large number of people to be too high.
