Following up on the news of Apple choosing Orange as its exclusive telecom provider for the iPhone per its release in the country on November 29th, Orange has also announced that the company will be selling an unlocked version of the iPhone for a somewhat higher price. The moves comes as a concession to French law that forbids bundling the sale of a mobile phone and mobile operator. According to the International Herald Tribune, Orange has agreed within the terms of its contract to give Apple a portion of its service revenue for business that the iPhone will generate with the handset in France. <snip> Ole Ole J.
