We hoped, we wished, we prayed, we even sacrificed small animals, yet Apple has silently told us to get lost, and crushed our dreams of a 3G iPhone. For the moment, at least. Just announced moments ago, Apple has officially layed out the launch details for the United Kingdom’s iPhone. As rumored and reported, it was O2 who clinched the deal at the last moment. The European iPhone does not differ at all from the U.S. version, and will go on sale starting November, 9th. We still love you, Apple. Just give us the little software updates we ask for.
