Apple has confirmed O2 as the exclusive UK carrier for the iPhone, which will make its UK debut on 9 November.

Sale of the handset will be restricted to Apple's retail and online outlets, O2 stores and The Carphone Warehouse. The 8GB device will retail for £269, with three tariffs from £35 to £55 per month all on an 18-month contract, including 'unlimited' mobile data.

Speaking at the unveiling of the deal at Apple's Regent Street store (pictured above), Apple CEO Steve Jobs said customer satisfaction is higher on the iPhone than any other product in Apple's history. He added that after talking to all the mobile networks in the UK, Apple chose the one that "felt like home".
