After a successful launch of the iphone on the US mobile market followed by its One Millionth sale, Apple continues its journey into the world mobile market.

Apple’s next stop with iphone is the UK and it’s scheduled to hit the shelves on November 9th 2007.

Interesting enough Apple will continue with its Only-One-Network game in UK which could live to see the day of light in US. Customers will be able to buy iPhones through O2 (the exclusive UK carrier) and The Carphone Warehouse.

CEO Steve Jobs announced the partnership with O2 UK at one of Apple’s London retail stores, and set the price of the iPhone at $537, which includes value-added taxes.

O2 will offer three different subscriber plans, called “tariffs” in the U.K., that range from $70 to $110 monthly. Those plans include 200 to 1,200 calling minutes, and 200 to 500 text messages in their allotments.

UK citizens would now have to wait for seven more weeks to start enjoying some of the intriguing features on the iphone.

Now the gig is that, if you are not on O2, then you would have to forget about using iphone in UK, at least for now.

But if you really want to join the iphone family then you might want to consider switching from your current mobile network to the O2 network which has nearly 18 million British subscribers.

On the other hand you if you want to go the hard way, then you might want to consider reaching out to the iPhone Dev Wiki on how to get your UNLOCKED iphone.

Apple plans to sell over 1 million iphones by the end of the year and a total of 10 million in 2008.
